6.2 Information about the Chart Speed
The blasting speed is achieved by manually pushing the machine.
The selection of the correct chart speed of the blast machine is essential for a good result.
The chart speed depends on the material of the surface to be blasted and the desired profiling.
The correct chart speed will be found out by observing the blasted surface and varying the speed
during the blast cleaning process.
Slight profiling on concrete requires a higher speed than coarse profiling.
Blasting on steel requires a very low chart speed.
6.3 Recommended Blast Paths
Normal start-up and operation of the blast machine S125E has been described in Chapter 5 "Initial
operation.”
1. Position the filter unit near to a
power supply source.
2. Connect blast machine and filter with
the dust hose.
3. Place the blast machine near to the
filter unit and spread out the hose as
shown in the illustration.
4. Carry out blast operation in parallel
tracks in a way that the dust hose
and electric cable do not become
twisted.
NOTE: Illustration shows the recommended blast paths leading away from the filter unit, with the
hose spread out in the opposite direction, repeating the process away from the filter unit. Beware of
the maximum length of cable and dust hose during operation.
5. Turn the blast machine around by closing the feed valve, then turn the machine to the right or
left and guide it in an arc to position it parallel to the last blasted path.
6. Repeat this process in order to complete the surface, always moving away from the filter and
toward the open surface.
7. Finally, move the dust filter to the surface that was already blasted, and finish the area where
the filter was located before.
