See Figure 5.1 to help understand the general operation of the Bulk AmphiBlast™. Do not attempt to
operate the Bulk AmphiBlast before reading all sections of this manual and following all setup
procedures. Read Sections 5.1 through 6.0.
The Bulk AmphiBlast is a
pressurized system
; meaning the blaster remains pressurized when the
deadman lever (#12) is released.
The Bulk AmphiBlast (#1 & #7) will pressurize when the blowdown ball valve (#4) is closed and the
air inlet ball valve (#3) is opened. The compressed air flows through the moisture separator (#7) and
then is branched off to the blast outlets and to pressurize the bulk abrasive blast vessel (#1).
Blasting starts when the deadman lever (#12) is pressed down which will pneumatically or electrically
open the blast control valves (#20 & #64). When the control valves open, it sends an air signal that
simultaneously opens the automatic air valve (#9), the Thompson® Valve (#14) and the water shut-off
valve (#52). Compressed air will pressurize the blast hose (#10) when the automatic air valve (#9) is
opened. At the same time, the Thompson Valve (#14) and water shut-off valve (#52) will open
allowing abrasive to fall through and water to be injected into the blast air stream. The abrasive flow
can be increased or decreased by turning the knob on top of the Thompson Valve (#14).
Blasting stops when the deadman lever (#12) is released. This will close the blast control valves (#20 &
#64) and vent the air signal to the automatic air valve (#9), Thompson Valve (#14) and water shut-off
valve (#52). When the signal air vents, all of the valves spring return into their “normally closed”
position. The abrasive blaster (#1) remains pressurized when the automatic air valve (#9), Thompson
Valve (#14) and water shut-off valve (#52) are closed.
The Bulk AmphiBlast (#1) is depressurized by closing the air inlet ball valve (#3) and then opening the
blowdown ball valve (#4) to completely vent the compressed air.
