Safety precautions –with regard to transport
When transporting the dust collector do so in such a manner that damage due to the effects of the use
of force or incorrect loading and unloading is avoided.
Before the dust collector is removed from the hazardous zone, take precautions to prevent dust from
escaping.
Safety precautions –with regard to maintenance
To allow the user to carry out maintenance operations, the dust collector must be disassembled,
cleaned and inspected as far as reasonably possible, without causing hazards for the maintenance staff
or other people.
The suitable precautions include decontamination before disassembling the dust collector, adequate
filtered ventilation of the exhaust air from the room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of the
maintenance area and suitable personal protection.
The external parts of the dust collector must be decontaminated by cleaning and vacuuming methods,
de-dusted before being taken out from the hazardous zone. All parts of the dust collector must be
considered as contaminated when they are removed from the hazardous zone and appropriate actions
must be taken to prevent dust from dispersing.
When maintenance or repair procedures are carried out, all the contaminated elements that cannot be
properly cleaned, must be destroyed.
These elements must be disposed of in sealed bags according to the applicable regulations and in
accordance with the local laws governing the disposal of such material.
This procedure must also be followed when the filters have to be disposed.
Compartments that are not dust-tight must be opened with suitable tools and thoroughly cleaned.

4. Before operation
Before using the machine it is essential to inspect the machine.
It is not permitted to use the machine if the machine safety is not according the checkpoints below.
Checkpoints of electrical safety
Use only extension cables for extending the main cable that are sized and marked in accordance with
the overall power consumption of the machine.
Electrical cables must be rolled entirely off of the reels.
Any damage to electric cables is not permitted
Use an electrical power supply connection with earth connection.
The main switch of the machine should be put to ‘Off’ before connecting to the power supply.
5. Operation
Starting / stopping the machine
Connect the dust hose to the machine.
Connect the dust collector to the power supply.
Switch on the main switch.
Switch on first the compressor motor.
Secondly switch on the fan motor.
Carry out this actions in opposite sequence to stop the machine.
Work with the machine
Regular check the contents of the dust-bin.
Regular open the drain valve to remove water from the air tank.
Interrupting work
When temporarily interrupting the work (1/2 hour –1 hour), turn off the fan unit only. Pulse cleaning
of the filter system will continue and will increase the life-time of the filter cartridges.
During a longer stand still of the dust collector, first switch off the fan unit. Let the pulse cleaning cycle
run for +/- 5 minutes. Switch off the compressor unit and Main-switch.
Disconnect the power-supply cable.
Prevent unauthorized persons from getting access to the dust collector or take measurements to
prevent unauthorized working with the equipment.

6. Maintenance
Pay attention to Chapter 3 "Safety" during maintenance and repair works.
Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very high repair costs and long standstill
periods of the dust collector. Regular maintenance therefore is imperative.
Operational safety and service life of the dust collector depend, among other things, on proper maintenance.
The following table shows recommendations about time, inspection and maintenance for the normal use of the
dust collector.
Operating hours/
time period
Inspection points, maintenance instructions
12 h after repairing
Check all accessible screw connections for tight seat.
Daily and prior to
starting work
Check all safety devices working adequate.
Check the function of the residual current operated device.
Check the hose connections for tightness and fixed seat.
Check the hose to the filter for damages.
Make sure that the dust bin of the filter is emptied
Check the electric connections for sediments of dirt or foreign bodies.
Check the electric motors for dirt and other contaminants.
Annually
Full overhaul and cleaning of the complete dust collector.
The time indications are based on uninterrupted operation. When the indicated number of working hours is not
achieved during the corresponding period, the period can be extended. However a full overhaul must be
carried out at least once a year.
Due to different working conditions it can’t be foreseen how frequently inspections for wear check’s,
inspection, maintenance and repair works ought to be carried out. Prepare a suitable inspection schedule
considering your own working conditions and experience.
Our specialists will be happy to assist you with more advice.
Prior to any repair works on the dust collector and its drives, secure
the dust collector against unintentional switching on. Put the dust
collector to its safety off position. Also make sure there is no air
pressure on the pulse system.
Follow additional operating and maintenance of OEM if included
during your service and maintenance work.
Further is advised:
Store the cleaned and dry machine in a dry and humid free room. Protect the electrical motors from moisture,
heat, dust and shocks.
All repair work must to be done by qualified Blastrac personnel, this to guarantee a safe and reliable machine.
Any guarantee on the machine is expired when:
Non original Blastrac parts have been used
Repair work is not done by qualified Blastrac personnel
Changes, add on’s or conversions are undertaken without written permission of Blastrac BV

Filter replacement
By mounting new filter cartridges pay attention that their gasket at the upper side lies firm at the sheet steel
of the filter chamber. A tilt of the filter cartridge result in leakage and they suction contaminants in the clean
part and consequently blow them backwards in the outer air.
Pulse system
The dust collector is provided with an air pulse cleaning system which increases the life of the filter cartridges.
The system works by use of pressurized air, built up by a compressor
The air is leaded through a water separator to the pulse system.
The cooled air passes a control valve, which regulates the systems pressure, and then builds up pressure in
the pulse tank.
Normally the pressure in the system is 5 –5.5 bar. The safety valve mounted on the compressor is activated
at approximately 10 bar.
This provision is to ensure that when there is a defect in the Control valve, the pressure in the pulse tank
remains within safe limits.
If the pressure of 5 bar is not reached, it is possible that there is a leakage in the pneumatic circuit or the air
filter of the compressor is dirty.
When there is pressure but the pulse system does not function, there might be a problem in the electrical
system which controls the pulsing system. Check the wiring and the PLC-settings.
Advised is to take contact with Blastrac Support in order to prevent operational problems.
Compressor
Replacement or cleaning of the air filter of the compressor (item 11 page 5) is depending on the environment
in which the dust collector is operating.
Advised is to take contact with Blastrac support in order to prevent operational problems.

7. Special option
For request we have got advanced option for work were is necessary to use special equipment.
7.1 Hepa filter
Task of this option is keep more clean air at work by the use of high class hepa filter. Applied by us filters have
high filtration efficiency starting from just 99,95%.
7.2 Difference vacuum gauge
A vacuum gauge measures the difference between the under pressure above the filters and inner filter house.
So the higher the difference pressure are, the worse the filter is working. This readout indicates the need to
replace filters.
