gun will pull 13-17 inches of vacuum.
3. DUST COLLECTOR
- Inadequate cabinet ventilation results in reduced cleaning power at the nozzle as well as
diminished view of the work in progress. Use the dust collector, shake every 20-30 minutes
when the cabinet is turned off, (more often in dusty conditions.) Empty dust collector at least
once a day. Remove filter and blow out occasionally to keep the dust collector or vacuum
working efficiently. Replace as needed.
4. MEDIA
- Use quality blast media sized to the job. Damp to dirty media can bring blasting to an instant
halt. Store media in a dry area and load the appropriate quantity. Add enough media through
the flooring to have 6” deep of media on top of the metering valve. If you run out of media as
you are blasting add enough so it keeps circulating to the gun. The media will eventually
breakdown or get too contaminated to use. The less there is in the system, the less you will
have to replace.
5. MEDIA DELIVERY
- Replace any media hose that has soft spots or visible wear. Adjust the metering valve to
provide adequate flow. A mixture that is too rich will cause pulsating at the gun. An unusually
loud noise while blasting means the mixture is too lean. A rich mixture can result in lower
impact velocities. While a lean mixture reduces the number of impacts. Both reduce your
cleaning rate.
If everything is adjusted right and you are still not getting the production levels needed, contact
your distributor.
