DRY ICE BLASTING EQUIPMENT FROM ICETECH | PAGE 12
“ The operator must NEVER repair the
blasting hose without using original IceTech
spare parts!! ”
SHUTTING DOWN THE DRY ICE BLASTING MACHINE
When the cleaning task has been completed, the
following procedure must be carried out before the
machine is dismantled or stored:
• Emptythehopper.
• Activatethetriggerontheblastinggun
for a few seconds in order to empty the system
of possible dry ice residue.
• Closethecompressedairsupply.
• Activatethetriggerontheblastinggunforafew
seconds in order to depressurize the system.
• Turnoffthemachine(presstheredOFFbutton).
• Disconnectthemainpowersupply.
• Disconnectthecompressedairsupply.
• Itisrecommendedtodisconnectthe
blasting hose.
CORRECT ORDER IS IMPORTANT!
FIRST disconnect the signal cable – THEN the
blasting hose couplings!!
• Avoidkinkingtheblastinghose,whenrolling
it up.
EMERGENCY STOP
Activation of the emergency stop button immediately
stopstheblastingairstreamandthedryiceow.
Before the machine can be restarted, the following
procedure must be carried out:
• Disengagetheemergencystopbutton
(pull out the button).
• Startthemachine(pressthegreenONbutton).
• Restarttheblastingairstreambyactivating
the trigger switch on the blasting gun.
PRECAUTIONS – BLASTING HOSE
Connection and Disconnection
Never disconnect the blasting hose from the ma-
chine or blasting gun when the main power supply
and/or compressed air supply are connected. Other-
wise activation of the trigger on the blasting gun will
result in a discharge of blasting air through an open
outlet instead of through the blasting gun nozzle.
If this happens, the operator will lose control of the
air stream, and serious injury may result.
CORRECT ORDER IS IMPORTANT!!
• Connection:
FIRST connect the blasting hose couplings
– THEN the signal cable!!
• Disconnection:
FIRST disconnect the signal cable
– THEN the blasting hose couplings!!
Defective Blasting Hose
The outer hose sleeve protects the operator from
any exposure caused by wear and tear of the inner
hose. No pressure build-up is permissible in the outer
sleeve during operation.
If a defective blasting hose is used, the operator
risks serious injury from being hit by dry ice pel-
lets.
Anysignofinationmeansthattheinnerhoseisin
some way defective.
NOTE:
If that fault occurs, stop the machine
IMMEDIATELY:
• Closethecompressedairsupplyimmediately.
• Activatethetriggerontheblastinggun
until the system is depressurised.
• Activatetheemergencystopbutton.
• Disconnectthemainpowersupply.
• Disconnectthecompressedairsupply.
• Disconnecttheblastinghose
(FIRST disconnect the signal cable
– THEN the blasting hose couplings).
• Makesuretheblastinghoseisrepairedand
pressure-tested (see following page).
• Althoughthehoppermaynotbeempty,the
system must not be blasted through until a
new/repaired blasting hose has been connected.
