FAULT FINDING

               CORRECT MAINTENANCE

All blasting equipment has components that by use need replacing.  Please ensure that proper maintenance procedures are adopted to evaluate and replace any parts that may need fitting before a breakdown renders machinery inoperable.

Listed below are a number of symptoms that could occur when using any pressure blast machine.

               DUSTY CABINET

  • Check extractor is switched on.
  • Shake lever on side of extractor – hourly.
  • Replace dust bag – 6 monthly.
  • Media breaking down. Replace with purer grade.

               AIR PRESSURE DROPS

  • The nozzle is worn.
  • Compressed air supply ineffective.
  • Has airline any snap connectors?

               NO GRIT WHEN PEDAL PRESSED

  • The Media delivery pipe is blocked. Clean out.
  • Nozzle blocked.
  • Pop-up valve jammed. Strip down and free.
  • Pressure pot overfilled. Strip down and drain.
  • Media damp from the air. Strip down and replace.
  • Foot pedal faulty.
  • Water trap faulty.

               PRESSURE POT EMPTIES TOO QUICKLY

Steel grits are heavier than alumina’s and therefore can last longer.  It could be beneficial by increasing the blasting durations to use one of these products.
