Position the foot pedal on the floor at the front of the cabinet for easy accessibility.
Blast cabinet is designed for one-person operation. Be sure you can quickly remove your
foot from the pedal in an emergency.
4.2. Blasting operation
4.2.1 Media loading
With the exhauster off, add clean dry media, by pouring it into the reclaimer hopper
through the reclaimer door. Do not fill past the cone on the reclaimer.
Do not pour media directly into the cabinet hopper, as overfilling may occur.
Overfilling will result in media carryover to the dust collector and possibly blockage in the
conveying hose. Refill only after all media has been recovered from the cabinet.
4.2.2 Media unloading
To empty the cabinet of old media turn off the exhauster and place an empty
container under the metering valve. Unscrew the lower plug from the metering valve. Media
will flow into container. If media doesn’t flow, it has caked. Open the fill door and stir media
until it starts to flow.
4.2.3. Parts loading and unloading
Parts may be loaded and unloaded through either door.
Blasted parts must be free of oil, water, grease, or other contaminants that will clog
media or filters. By closing the door, be certain that the door is sealed securely or door
interlock system will prevent blasting.
