The blast wheel method is a revolutionary invention based on a simple principle:
After mechanical pre-acceleration, the abrasive is thrown onto the surface at high speed by the
blast wheel. Once the abrasive has impacted the surface it rebounds into a rebound plenum. The
rebound plenum deflects the abrasive into an air current separator. In this location, dust and other
contaminants are removed from the abrasive so that only abrasive containing a very small amount of
dust is falling back into the abrasive storage hopper to reflow to the blast wheel.
3.4 Operating Elements
On/Off Switch
• By pushing and adjusting the switch on the
motor, the blast wheel will be started.
• By releasing the switch, the blast wheel will stop.
Abrasive Control Lever
The Abrasive control lever (1) on top of the handle
regulates the opening of the abrasive control valve
(2).
Every change of the opening of the abrasive control
valve allows a different amount of abrasive to go
through the blast wheel. The valve is regulated by
hand.
