TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MACHINE

Blasting cabinets are studied for treatment of surfaces with glass microbeads or abrasive. These treatments change from simple cleaning, paint removing of various pieces, at superficial treatment of painting, or not abrasive of for an anesthetic purpose, etc. The blasting action is done with a jet of mixture abrasive/air, generated with effect internal in the aluminum gun, directed at the surface you have to treat. In the blasting machines can be utilized, traditional abrasives (ex.Corundum) or not abrasives materials like glass microbeads or micro ceramic for shot-peening working.

INSTALLATION

Our blasting cabinets are tested and checked in our factory.

They operate with feeding lines that has the following characteristics:

• Triphase line 380Volt/50Hz + Neutro + T, 2KVA for electric connection

• Air compressed line able to guarantee a capacity of 00 lt/1’ air with pressure of 7 bar (with standard nozzle of Ø mm.8).

Before making various connections, we suggest you put the machine and its components on a flat place where they are not to be an obstruction or have casual impacts. After having ranged them like mentioned on this manual, you have to do the things that follows:

1 Open the electric board and execute the connection of the electric input

2 Connect the compressed air input in dehumidifier filter on the back side of the cabinet. We suggest you connect it with a tube of Ø 1/2"to avoid harmful pressure loss.

3 Apply the filter bag on the exit (Ø mm.100) of the exhaust fan or cyclone (if assembled), tighten around the clip in dotation.

4 In the case the machine is complete with filter cabinet, proceed with connection like indicated on the instruction manual.

Before starting, after having done the above-mentioned connection, be sure that the air that arrived from the line is clean and without humidity. In case dehumidifier filter on the machine is not enough to bring the purpose, it will be necessary put on the back a drier filter or a refrigerator. Then assure you that pieces introduced in the cabinet are clean from water and/or oil.

STARTING OF THE MACHINE WITH CYCLONE

After have executed with attention the things indicated in the chapter "INSTALLATION" proceed opening the door of charge of the cyclone to lodge the abrasive to arrive at quantity of 3-5 Kg., after this, close the door.

Open charge doors and introduce the materials to sand; remember to close, because the security limit switches will take the machine in lock until this operation will be done.

Operate the general switch on the power board so the machine will be feded; successively, by means of the selectors on the power switch, fed the illumination lights of the cabinet and of the cyclone exhaust-fun.

Successively, operating on pressure governor on the front part of machine, increase progressively the pressure work, to arrive to 6-7 bar of the plate, readable on the appropriate gauge. Now you can proceed at work, but you have to take too stopped the gun and actioning the foot pedal placed on low of cabinet.

When you note a decrease of abrasive material, you have to check the level within the hopper, if this is exhausting, provide at its supply.

The blasting will be done as far as the foot pedal will be leaved or will be enter in action one or more security valves that are in the lip of machine.

Our cabinets are provided with, in conformity to the security European Directives, equipment’s that are be able to eliminate the action of the machine in case of emergency. In those protections there are the magnetometries switches in the power board, the limit switches placed on the charge doors and the Stop switch.

After having terminate blasting operations, remember to bring on the " position the general switch and deactivate the alimentation of compressed air.

CLEAN OF THE SLAGS

Blasting and shot-peening machines, during their work emit slags like powder, because glass microbeads and/or abrasive crush and wear out themselves, so they must be collected to avoid their scattering in the environment; is for this reason that there is the necessity to place at the exhaust-fun or at the cyclone a filter bag for their salvage dump.

You have to execute another cleaning operation to discharge the slags contained in the sifter of the cyclone; to do this, open the cyclone door when the machine is turn off and take out the filter sifter, discharge it and reinstatement in its seat. Empty the drawer salvage dump 1-2 times in a week.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION, we recommend you, before execute any intervene of maintenance to stop the machine from the electric and pneumatic alimentation lines.

REPLACEMENT OF THE PARTS

Our cabinets are equipped with a visibility window on which are assembled 2 glasses; the first, the exterior, is realized with double thickness, to protect from the possible impacts or unexpected breakages, the other, internal, must be substituted every time when, grounding during working processing, create an obstacle at the view and it risk to break or damage the external glass that normally have not to be substituted.

REPLACEMENT OF THE GLASS

Screw out hand clamp on the frame of the window, hoist this latest and the stratified glass. Then, extract the internal glass and substitute it. After this, close all and execute in the inversed way the operations done before.

REPLACEMENT OF THE GLOVES

If the gloves are damaged you have to replace them. First ease off the hoses clamp, withdraw the gloves and insert the new glove. Finally tighten the clamps.

REPLACEMENT OF THE NOZZLE

During working process, the abrasive causes the wear of the nozzle placed in the gun; when its diameter increase, it causes a great wear of air in the machine and so it must be replaced. To do this, screw out the nut of the nozzle on the gun, replace the nozzle and retighten the nut.

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE

Check periodically the state of the machine, replacing the various parts as soon as you note an excessive wear (guns, tubes, gaskets,etc...).

RISK CERTIFICATE

Wheel Restore Company ApS. declare that own machines are realized with constructive characteristics suitable to the community directives regarding the matter of safety.

Machines are provided with protection against overcurrent’s by means of thermic relay and total mushroom stop switch.

Besides on the doors of cabinet are placed suitable security limit switches that inhibit the function of the installation when those are open.

Between the possible risks during work exist the possibility of the bunching of the electrostatic charges caused from the action of the wiping produced from abrasion. This condition is not recurring because it is binded at the variability of the atmospheric conditions and for this is not foreseeable.

To avoid fastidious electrostatics discharges we recommend at the operators to not put on, during the work, metal objects like necklaces, rings, etc...; we suggest you to not put the machine on insulating footboards and to connect the machine at an inadequate grounding system.

The use of the blasting machine is forbidden in fire risk area.

The use of the inflammable and/or explosives powder is forbidden too.

The latest risk can be due from the working of the materials composed from magnesium or from its leagues because dust produced during the abrasion can be explosive; we recommend you to avoid absolutely the working of this material.
