Description of Operation
Advantages
Field-portable, medium-duty, industrial,
single-chamber blast machine rated at 150
psi working pressure. Model 1648 has
1-1/4 inch piping and holds 3 cubic feet of
media (300 lbs expendable, mineral
abrasive). This unit is equipped with FSV
abrasive metering valve and remote controls. Complete system includes coupled
hose, nozzle, supplied air respirator, and
many accessories.
Note: For safe, efficient blasting, read
and follow the owner's manual and seek
training for everyone who will use this
equipment.
Purpose
High-performance, versatile blast cleaning system removes contamination, corrosion, mill scale, and coatings from
most surfaces. Produces a uniform surface texture, and creates a surface profile
to increase bonding for coatings.
Model 1648 holds 3 cubic feet of abra sive providing 15 minutes of blasting at
100 psi with a No. 6 (3/8-inch) nozzle.
Requirements for Operation
These items are required but not includ ed with this equipment:
• Clean, dry, compressed air of sufficient
volume to maintain desired pressure at
the nozzle. Refer to Air Consumption
Chart in Blast Off 2 booklet
(publication stock no. 09294).
• Minimum of 50 psi needed to close the
pop-up valve and pressurize the blast
machine.
• OSHA-required remote control system
that interrupts blasting if operator
should lose control of the nozzle when
blast machine is pressurized.
• NIOSH-approved, type CE, suppliedair respirator.
• Grade D breathing-air supply as
defined by Compressed Gas
Association Commodity Specification:
G-7.1 (Refer to www.cganet.com).
• Abrasive blast media specifically
manufactured for abrasive blasting and
appropriate for your application.
• Appropriate blast suit, work boots,
hearing and eye protection.
The operator controls blasting from a
remote control handle at the nozzle.
Pressing the handle starts blasting;
releasing it stops blasting. The blast
machine contains abrasive and meters it
into the compressed air stream.
