THE BLASTER

THE BLASTER IS AN AIRLESS SHOT BLAST MACHINE DESIGNED FOR QUALITY CLEANING, WELDED
ASSEMBLIES, FORGINGS, AND DEBURRING. CLEANING IS ACCOMPLISHED BY TUMBLING THE PARTS IN A
SHOT BLAST ENVIRONMENT. A MOTOR DRIVEN PADDLE WHEEL TYPE IMPELLER BLASTS THE ABRASIVE
MATERIAL AGAINST THE PARTS. THE ABRASIVE MATERIAL IS CONSTANTLY REUSED AS IT FALLS BACK
INTO THE IMPELLER PLATES TO ASSURE COMPLETE UNIFORMITY AND THOROUGHNESS OF THE
CLEANING ACTION. A VARIETY OF SURFACE FINISHING MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE ABRASIVE GRIT OR
SHOT SELECTED.
THE BLASTER IS OPERATED WITH A DUST COLLECTOR WHICH REMOVES ALL SCALE DUST, SAND
PAINT AND RUST FROM THE BLASTER CHAMBER DURING THE CLEANING OPERATION. WHEN THE
BLASTER IS SHUT DOWN, THE DUST PARTICLES DROP OUT OF THE BAGS AND INTO THE BASE OF THE DUST
COLLECTOR.

INSTALLATION
SPECIFICATIONS AND DIMENSIONS ARE LISTED ON THE BLASTER BROCHURE.
AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS.

THE DUST COLLECTOR IS NORMALLY SET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BLASTER NEXT TO THE VENT
CONNECTION, ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE PLACED IN ANY LOCATION. THE DUST COLLECTOR IS CONNECTED
TO THE BLASTER WITH A RUBBER HOSE.

CHECK THE PADDLE WHEEL INSIDE THE BLASTER TO INSURE THAT IT IS FREE TO TURN AND THAT NO
PARTICLES OR WATER IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE WHEEL WELL.

CHECK THE IMPELLER AND DUST COLLECTOR FOR PROPER ROTATION. THE IMPELLER SHOULD
ROTATE SO THAT THE SHOT WOULD BE THROWN TO THE END OF THE WHEEL WITH THE DEFLECTOR
THE DUST COLLECTOR BLADES SHOULD ROTATE TO THROW THE AIR OUT THE EXIT VENT. SOME AIR
WILL BE THROWN OUT EVEN WHEN RUNNING BACKWARDS. REMOVE TAPE FROM ALL THE AIR INLETS.

WHILE THE BLASTER IS RUNNING ADD SHOT OR GRIT IN AIR INTAKES OF BLASTER UNTIL THE AMP
METER REACHES THE REQUIRED OPERATIONAL LEVEL.












BLASTER OPERATION

DO NOT USE CHILLED SHOT IN THE BLASTER AS IT CAUSES SEVERE WEAR PROBLEMS (S-170, S-230
OR S-280) STEEL SHOT ONLY.

DO NOT BLAST GREASY PARTS AS THIS WILL GUM UP AND DIRTY THE SHOT ALL PARTS MUST BE
DEGREASED BEFORE BEING BLASTED.

CHECK BOTH CATCH SCREENS OCCASIONALLY FOR ANY PARTS THAT MAY HAVE FALLEN
THROUGH THE BASKET.

OPEN BLASTER DOORS AND ROTATE BASKET DOOR TO THE FRONT LOADING POSITION DO NOT
OPERATE BLAST IMPELLER WITH DOOR OPEN.

PUT ONLY PARTS IN BASKET THAT WILL NOT FALL THROUGH THE SCREEN SMALL PARTS SHOULD
BE PLACED IN THE SMALL PARTS BASKET. FILL THE MAIN BASKET PLUS FULL, TO KEEP PARTS FROM
DROPPING AND DAMAGING BASKET.

SET TIMER TO DESIRED OPERATION DURATION (THE TIMER MUST BE SET BEFORE THE
BLASTIMPELLER WILL OPERATE) MAKE SURE ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND THEN START THE MOTORS

AFTER ONE MINUTE OF OPERATION, CHECK TO SEE IF THE AMP METER IS AT THE DESIRED
OPERATIONAL LEVEL THE AMP METER GRADUALLY BUILDS UP UNTIL ALL THE SHOT IS IN CIRCULATION

LET THE BASKET AND DUST COLLECTOR RUN A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE TIMER HAS SHUT THE
BLASTER OFF THIS ALLOWS THE SHOT AND DUST TO TUMBLE OUT OF THE PARTS.

DUST COLLECTOR OPERATION

SHAKE DUST FROM COLLECTOR BAG EVERY 4 HOURS OF OPERATION BY SHAKING THE HANDLE AT THE
TOP OF THE DUST COLLECTOR. THE DUST COLLECTOR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND THE FUNNEL PLATE
MUST BE REMOVED FOR EMPTYING.

SAFETY

DO NOT START OR OPERATE THE BLASTER WITH ANY DOOR OPEN OR UNLATCHED

DO NOT CLEAN PARTS THAT WILL FALL THROUGH THE BASKET SCREEN.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS OR OTHER BRITTLE MATERIAL.

DO NOT OPERATE BLASTER ABOVE THE RATED OPERATING AMPERAGE.

DO NOT OPERATE THE BLASTER WITH OBJECTS IN THE IMPELLER HOPPER.

DO NOT BLAST PARTS WET WITH SOLVENT AS SPARKS COULD IGNITE THE FUMES AND WOULD
BURN UP THE DUST COLLECTOR BAGS.














REPLACEMENT

BEARINGS, SEALS, SHAFTS MAKE SURE THE BEARING ECCENTRIC LOCK IS LOOSED BEFORE TRYING TO
REMOVE BEARINGS OR SHAFT. BE SURE THE SLOTTED GROOVES ON THE SEAL PLATES ARE TURNED
DOWN SO THAT THE SHOT IS FREE TO DROP OUT.
