5. Load or reload dry ice into the hopper:
a. On the Performance and Precision applicator, press the air+ice button (II) to
deactivate (green light OFF). This will also deactivate the applicator.
b. On the PCS 60, open the hopper lid leaving the Safeguard Grate in place.
Opening the safeguard grate will cause the PCS 60 to shut down
automatically. The grate is a safeguard to prevent coming into contact
with the doser at the bottom of the hopper.

c. Check the hopper for the presence of any foreign material or condensate and clean
or remove as necessary.
d. Load the hopper with 3 mm dry ice pellets.
CAUTION Use only 3mm dry ice pellets for blast media. The use of any other
media will lead to loss of warranty coverage
e. Close the lid.
The SureFlow Hopper system is a feature designed into the PCS 60 that will keep the dry ice flowing
in the insulated hopper and a sealed lid while the hopper is in use and idle for a short period of
time. The vibrator for the PCS 60 will intermittently operate with short bursts to ensure the dry ice
continues flowing or dropping toward the bottom of the hopper. The settings for the vibrator may
be changed by the operator in the advanced menu of the PCS 60 to adjust the frequency and time
of the vibrator. The PCS 60 is equipped with a magnetic switch on the safeguard grate for safety.
Should the safeguard grate be opened while the PCS 60 is operating, it will go into idle until it is
closed, at which time normal operations may begin. There is no need to set-up the machine again.
Blasting Dry Ice Particles
For optimum performance while blast cleaning with the performance applicator or the precision
applicator:
y
Position the PCS 60 and blast hose to prevent kinking and allow for maximum
maneuverability.
y
Hold the nozzle perpendicular to surface being cleaned at a distance of 2-6 inches
(5-15 cm).
y
To find the optimum feed rate, start at 0 and gradually increase until the desired cleaning
result and/or cleaning performance is achieved.
y
Use a lower feed rate when the air pressure is below 50 psi (3.4 bar).
Follow the instructions below to start blasting dry ice particles:
1. On the performance or the precision applicator, press the air/ice control (II) to activate (green
light ON).
2. It is recommended to start blasting next to the target (but in a safe place) and move onto the
target.
3. Move the nozzle back and forth keeping it perpendicular to the surface being cleaned.
4. Monitor the hopper level and reload dry ice pellets as needed:
a. On the applicator, the status light will be solid red when the hopper is full and start
flashing when the hopper level is low to empty.
b. On the control panel, the hopper level is indicated by the color of the hopper icon.
Green is full, yellow is half-full, and red is empty.
5. Adjust settings or select a recipe:
a. To adjust the settings:
i. Use the rotary encoder dial to adjust the feed rate, blast pressure and particle
size.
b. To select a recipe:
i. Use the rotary encoder dial to navigate to the Settings screen then to the
Recipe screen.
ii. Use rotary encoder dial to select the recipe menu and adjust it to the desired
recipe numbered 1-9 (see “Recipes” on page 33).
