OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
preparing parts for blasting
all parts processed must be free of oil, grease and moisture. Make sure parts are dry before putting
into the cabinet for cleaning.
2.
air pressure
operating pressure: from 50 to 80 psi (pounds per square inch)(higher pressure (up to 125 can be
used, but this breaks down some types for media’s prematurely).(ex. glass bead)
-
set air pressure to 80 psi. most parts for blast cleaning can be blasted at 80 psi. for light gauge
steel, aluminum, and other more delicate parts, start at lower pressure and gradually increase
the pressure until the desired finish is achieved.
Warning
Do not connect to high pressure bottle gas, rupture and explosion can occur.
3.
gun angle and distance
direct gun at parts at 45-60 degree angle with ricochet towards the back of the cabinet. Do not hold
gun at 90 degree angle to parts being processed. This will cause the media blast to bounce back
into the blast stream and slow blasting action. Also 90 degree angle will cause excessive wear on
gun and viewing window. Hold gun approximately 6 inches form parts being blasted.
Warning:
Gun must always be pointed away from the operator and towards items being processed. Never
blast with any of the cabinet doors open. While loading and unloading. No one should be at the
operator station. At the front of the blast cabinet.
-
cabinets are available with safety doors so that the gun cannot be operated unless the doors
are closed. Contact your local distributer for further information.
4.
media
-
media should be of good quality and dry. Moisture will cause the media not flow and will clog
metering valve and hopper.
5.
nozzle size
-
by changing to the next larger size of nozzle ,. Production can increase significantly. Lager
size nozzles produce a large cleaning pattern. This, however, requires more air (your
compressor must be able to provide this)
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1.
blasting gun
-
after 10-12 hours of blasting time, the nozzle should be checked. If it shows uneven wear it
should be turned 1/4 turn every 10 hours of use.
2.
caking of media
-
media caking is caused by moisture in the air supply of from oily and greasy parts. If this is not
