3.0 OPERATION
3.1
Media Loading and Unloading
3.1.1 Media
Loading
: With the exhauster off, add
clean, dry media, by pouring it into the reclaimer hopper
through the reclaimer door. Do not pour media directly
into the cabinet hopper or room recovery hoppers, as
overfilling may occur. Do not fill past the cone on the
reclaimer. Overfilling will result in media carryover to the
dust collector and possible blockage in the conveying
hose. Underfilling will allow air to draw through the
metering valve and feed assembly, and interfere with
media flow. Refill only after all media has been
recovered.
3.1.2 Media
Unloading:
To empty the reclaimer of
media, allow all media to be recovered, turn off the
exhauster, and place an empty container under the
metering valve (or manifold). Unscrew the drain plug
from the metering valve or manifold, permitting media to
flow into the container. If media doesn't flow, it has
caked. Open the fill door and stir media until it starts to
flow. Empty the container when full or before it is too
heavy to handle, and repeat the process until the
reclaimer is empty. Replace the plug when the reclaimer
is empty.
4.0 OPTIONAL
ACCESSORIES
4.1 Manometer
NOTE:
The following instructions explain the use of the
manometer for taking periodic static pressure readings
on reclaimers. Refer to the enclosure instructions for
using the manometer on cabinet enclosures. Permanent
fittings should be installed when rigid ducting is used, or
when the manometer installation is permanent. Use
silicone sealer or other sealant to seal around the fitting
to prevent leaks. The fitting should be capable of being
capped when the manometer tube is removed, to
prevent leaks.
A single BNP metering
valve is used with one
blast gun.
Two BNP metering
valves are stacked. For
use with two blast guns.
Six Outlet Manifold
For use with up to six blast guns.
Each media hose connects to a
corresponding blast gun.
