stream  within  the  mixing  chamber,  and  is  propelled  out 
the  nozzle.  After  striking  the  object  being  blasted,  the 
blast  media,  fines,  dust,  and  by-products  generated  by 
blasting, fall through the mesh grate and into the cabinet 
hopper.  These  particles  are  conveyed  from  the  cabinet 
hopper by way of the flex hose and into the reclaimer for 
separation.  Dust  and  fines  are  first  separated  from 
reusable media and pulled into the dust collector. Next, 
the  media  is  screened  for  oversize  particles,  and 
returned to the reclaimer hopper for reuse.  
 
 

1.5.2  Dust Collector 

 

1.5.2.1

  The  final  stage  of  the  recovery,  reclaiming 

process takes place in the dust collector. Dust and fines 
drawn  through  the  reclaimer  are  trapped  on  the  outer 
 

surface  of  the  filter  cartridges,  discharging  clean  air 
through the exhauster. 
 

1.5.2.2 

At  regular,  timed  intervals,  the  dust-collector 

filter  cartridges  are  cleaned  by  a  pulse  of  high  velocity 
compressed  air  expanding  against  the  inner  surface  of 
the  cartridges. The expanding  air momentarily reverses 
air  flow  through  the  cartridges  releasing  trapped  dust. 
The dust particles fall away from the cartridges into the 
hopper for removal.  
 

1.5.2.3

  The  pulse  interval  is  controlled  by  a  timer 

located  inside  the  sequence  panel.  The  timer  controls 
the ON time (the length of time for each pulse) and OFF 
time  (the  length  of  time  between  each  pulse).  The  ON 
time should never be adjusted. The lower the setting for 
the  OFF  time,  the  shorter  the  length  of  time  between 
pulses.
