5.1.3 Reclaimer debris screen
The screen is accessible through the reclaimer door. With the exhauster off, remove the
screen and empty it daily or when loading media. Empty the screen more often if parts being
blasted causes excessive debris. Do not operate the machine without the screen in place.
5.1.4 Airline filter
The cabinet is equipped with a manual drain airline filter.
Drain the airline filter at least once a day, more often if required, or if water mist is seen
coming out the nozzle.
Moist air inhibits the flow of media. If moisture continues to be present, a refrigerated
air dryer may be required.
5.1.5 Media Hose
To avoid unscheduled down-time, inspect the media hose for thin spots, especially
along an outside radius.
5.1.6 Blast Hose and Couplings
Check blast hose for excessive wear, particularly on the outside radius, to prevent
punctures. Check couplings and coupling gaskets for leakage and wear.
5.2. Service maintenance
5.2.1 Gloves
Special static-dissipating gloves have been provided for operator comfort. It will be
necessary to change gloves periodically as they wear. The first sign of deterioration may
be excessive static shocks. Gloves are held in place by metal clamps on the inside of the
cabinet. To replace, loosen the clamps with a screwdriver, replace the gloves, and tighten the
clamps.
5.2.2 Nozzle
The nozzle should be replaced when its diameter has increased by a maximum of 2mm
(or earlier if pressure diminishes significantly).
