1.3 General Description
1.3.1 BNP abrasive blast cabinets enclose the
blasting environment to provide efficient blasting while
maintaining a clean surrounding work area. Production
rates are influenced by size of nozzle, compressor
output, working pressure, type and size of media, angle
and distance of the nozzle from the blast surface. BNP
suction cabinets consist of three major components:
1. Cabinet Enclosure
2. Reclaimer
3. Dust Collector
Refer to Figure 1 for arrangement of components using a
CDC-1 dust collector. Figure 2 shows the arrangement
with an RPC-2 (900 cfm) reverse-pulse dust collector with
dust drawer.
An optional RPH collector is set up the same way but
includes a hopper that is easier to empty and has
additional storage. Upgrading to an RPH collector may
be done at any time. The overall height of the RPH-2 is
approximately 10-feet, 4-inches, and increases to 12-ft
when the top access door is open. An RPH dust
collector is standard with systems requiring 1200 cfm
and larger dust collectors.
1.4 Theory of Operation
1.4.1 Once the components are correctly setup and
turned on, the cabinet is ready for operation by actuation
of the foot pedal. Fully depressing the foot pedal causes
air to flow through the blast gun. The vacuum created by
air moving through the gun draws media into the blast
gun mixing chamber. The media mixes with the air
stream and is propelled out the nozzle. After striking the
object being blasted, the blast media, fines, dust, and
by-products generated by blasting, fall through the mesh
work table into the cabinet hoppers. These particles are
then drawn into the reclaimer for separation. Lightweight
dust and fines remain airborne and are drawn out to the
dust collector. Heavier reusable media fall through the
screen into the reclaimer hopper for reuse. The dust
collector traps dust and fines and discharges clean air.
When the foot pedal is released, blasting stops.

1.5 Reverse Pulse Dust Collector Options
WARNING
Prolonged exposure to any dust could result in
serious lung disease and death. Short term
ingestion of toxic materials, such as lead dust or
dust from other heavy metals and corrosives,
could cause serious respiratory injury or death.
Identify all materials that are to be removed by
blasting. Use reverse-pulse dust collectors with
HEPA after-filters if lead coating or any other
toxic materials are being removed by the
blasting process. Do not use dust collectors with
simple cloth filters for those applications.
1.5.1 CDC-1 Dust Collectors: Shown in Figure 1,
900 cfm models. The single filter cartridge is cleaned by
using a manually-controlled pulse of compressed air.
CDC-1 dust collectors are standard with BNP cabinets
unless an optional RPC-2 or RPH dust collector is
ordered at time of purchase. Refer to CDC-1 Dust
collector manual number 28225.
1.5.2 RPC-2 Dust Collectors: Shown in Figure 2, this
collector is available in a 900 cfm model. Dual filter
cartridges are automatically cleaned by a timed, periodic
pulse of compressed air. Dust collects in the drawer and
must be frequently emptied. Refer to RPC manual
number 22788.
1.5.3 RPH Dust Collector: The RPH-2 is for use with
900 cfm models and RPH-3 for use with 1200 cfm
models. They are set up and operate the same as the
RPC-2, as shown in Figure 2, but instead of a dust
drawer, the collector sits atop a hopper, which provides
additional dust storage, and empties into a drum. Refer to
RPH manual number 21449.

1.5.4 HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) Filter:
HEPA after-filters provide additional filtration and must
be used with a reverse-pulse cartridge collectors when
removing lead coatings or any other toxic materials.
1.6 Nozzle Options
1.6.1 Unless otherwise specified at the time of
purchase, the cabinet is supplied with a No. 5 (5/32"
orifice) air jet and 5/16" orifice ceramic nozzle. Optional,
more durable tungsten carbide and boron carbide
nozzles are available and are shown under Optional
Accessories in Section 9.1 and BNP gun parts in Section
9.7. Use a boron carbide nozzles when blasting with
aggressive media, as noted in Section 1.8.4.
1.7 Reclaimer Options
1.7.1 A 900 cfm pull-thru reclaimer utilizes a CDC-1
reverse-pulse dust collector or optional RPC-2 or RPH-2
dust collector.
A 1200 cfm reclaimer utilizes a RPH-3 reverse-pulse
dust collector.
1800 cfm reclaimers are available by special order.
Refer to Figure 3 for 1800 cfm applications.
1.7.2 Replaceable rubber reclaimer liners: The liners
prolong service life of the reclaimer, and should be
installed when using silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, or
other aggressive media as noted in Section 1.8.4. The
reclaimer must be designed to accept liners and have a
removable top. Rubber liners are shown in Section 9.1.
1.8 Blasting Media
WARNING
Obtain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the blast
abrasive. Abrasive blasting with sands
containing crystalline (free) silica can lead to
serious or fatal respiratory disease. As NIOSH
recommends, do not use abrasives containing
more than trace amounts (more than one
percent) free silica.
NOTE: Use only abrasives specifically manufactured for
blast cleaning which are compatible with the surface
being blasted. Abrasive produced for other applications
may be inconsistent in size and shape, contain particles
that could jam the abrasive metering valve, or cause
irregular wear.
1.8.1 ZERO cabinets utilize most common reusable
media specifically manufactured for dry blasting. Media
sizes listed under media headings and in Figure 3 are
for guidelines only. The guidelines are based on
standard nozzle size and average conditions, such as
blast pressure, media/air mixture, visibility inside the
cabinet, humidity, and reclaimer cleaning rate.
Several factors affecting the reclaimer cleaning rate
include: reclaimer size (cfm), contamination of parts
being blasted, media friability, damper setting (static
pressure), and dust collector filter loading (differential
pressure across the filter cartridge(s).
As a rule, larger nozzles deliver more media, requiring
higher performance from the reclaimer. When using
larger nozzles, the maximum mesh size of media will be
smaller than those normally recommended. Using media
finer than those recommended may decrease visibility
and increase carryover to the dust collector. Media
coarser than those recommended may be too dense for
the reclaimer to recover from the cabinet hopper.
1.8.2 Steel: When the recovery hose diameter is
suitably sized (usually reduced one size from standard
as shown in Figure 3) steel may be used with 1200 cfm
and 1800 cfm reclaimers. When using steel media,
conveying hose should have a smooth durable lining,
and rubber curtains should be used to protect the
cabinet walls from peening and rapid wear. Cabinets
configured for steel media use can be ordered from the
factory with appropriately sized conveying hose and
curtains installed. This special requirement must be
specified at the time of purchase. They may also be field
installed at a later date. NOTE: Steel grit or shot is too
heavy to use with cabinets equipped 900 cfm
reclaimers.

This guideline to media selection is based on standard 5/16orifice nozzle (5/32air jet) and average conditions,
(air pressure, media/air mixture, visibility, contamination of parts being cleaned, humidity, media breakdown,
reclaimer cleaning rate, etc.) As a rule, larger nozzles deliver more media, requiring higher performance from the
reclaimer. Larger nozzles decrease the maximum mesh size of media from those recommended. Media that is finer
than those recommended may decrease visibility, and, at some point, carryover to the dust collector. Media coarser
than those recommended may be too dense to recover from the cabinet hopper.

Figure 3
1.8.3 Sand and Slag: Sand should NEVER be used for
abrasive blasting because of the respiratory hazards
associated with media containing free silica. Slags are not
recommended because they rapidly breakdown and are
not recyclable, making them unsuitable for cabinet
applications.
1.8.4 Silicon Carbide, Aluminum Oxide, and
Garnet: These are the most aggressive of the
commonly-used media. Aggressive media may be used,
but the service life of any components exposed to the
media will be reduced. To avoid unscheduled down time,
periodically inspect the reclaimer wear plate, flex hoses,
blast hose, and nozzle for wear.
When using aggressive media only occasionally, install an
optional aluminum oxide kit. The kit includes rubber
curtains for the cabinet interior and a boron carbide-lined
nozzle. When using aggressive media on a regular basis,
install the aluminum oxide kit and a fully-rubber-lined
reclaimer. NOTE Rubber-lined reclaimers are available as
factory-installed items and can be field installed on
reclaimers if they have removable tops and designed to
accept liners. Nozzles lined with boron carbide extend
nozzle wear life. See Optional Accessories in Section 9.1.
1.8.5 Glass Bead: Most beads are treated to ensure
free-flow operation even in environments of moderately
high humidity. Glass beads subjected to excessive
moisture may be reused only after thorough drying and
breaking up any clumps.
1.8.6 Lightweight and Fine-mesh Media: When
using lightweight (such as agricultural) media or fine
mesh (180-mesh and finer) media, the reclaimer inlet
baffle may need to be removed to retain media and
avoid carryover. On reclaimer models with bolt-on
removable tops, baffle removal and replacement is
easily accomplished. Reclaimers with welded-on tops
require grinding to remove the baffle and once it is
removed it cannot be replaced.
1.8.7 Plastic Media: Plastic and similar lightweight
and/or non-aggressive media are generally not
recommended for suction-style cabinets because the
lower blast velocity of suction blasting combined with the
softer and lighter weight media, do not provide the
media impact for productive blasting. Best performance
from plastic media is achieved with pressure blasting,
requiring a pressure vessel with a 60-degree conical
bottom. Refer to Clemco’s AEROLYTE cabinet line.
1.8.8 Bicarbonate of Soda: Bicarbonate of soda is
not recommended for use in standard cabinets. Bicarb is
a one-use media usually used and will quickly saturate
the filter cartridge(s). Best performance from bicarb
media is achieved with pressure blasting, requiring a
pressure vessel. Refer to Clemco’s AEROLYTE cabinet
line for cabinets that are specifically designed for use
with bicarbonate of soda.
1.9 Compressed Air Requirements
1.9.1 The size of the compressor required to operate
the cabinet depends on the size of the air jet and
blasting pressure. Unless otherwise specified, cabinets
are supplied with a No. 5 (5/32" orifice) jet. Refer to the
table in Figure 4 to determine air consumption. Consult
with a compressor supplier for suggested compressor
size based on the air consumption. NOTE: A separate
air line is required for the reverse-pulse dust collector
1.9.2 The air filter at the air inlet connection reduces
condensed water from the compressed air. Its use is
especially important in areas of high humidity, or when
using fine-mesh media. Moisture causes media to clump
and inhibits free flow through the feed assembly. If the

filter does not remove enough moisture to keep media
dry and flowing, it may be necessary to install an air
dryer or aftercooler in the air supply line.

2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 General Installation Notes
2.1.1 To avoid damage, the light assembly and air
intake stack, are shipped inside the cabinet. Install the
light assembly and intake stack on the outside top of the
cabinet (ref Figure 1), using the adhesive-backed gasket
and fasteners provided. Install the light conduit and
wiring to the control panel, and wire it per the wiring
schematic packed in the panel. Refer to Section 2.5.
W
ARNING
Use an approved ladder or lift and fall
protection when installing or servicing the light
assembly or air intake stack. Do not climb on
top of the cabinet. The cabinet top will not
support body weight and could cause injury.
2.1.2 The cabinet must be placed on a flat level
surface. If the surface is not flat, the cabinet could flex,
causing the door alignment to shift. If the floor is not
level, shim the leg(s) as required to align the doors.
2.1.3 Use the eyebolts on the four top corners to lift
and maneuver the cabinet. Do not lift the cabinet from
the hopper or lower frame.
NOTICE
Do not use a forklift to lift the cabinet from the
hoppers or lower frame. The cabinet hopper is
not designed to support the weight of the
cabinet. The lower frame is designed to support
distributed weight. Using a forklift on the
hoppers or frame may cause damage.
2.1.4 Refer to Figure 1 (and Figure 2 for optional
RPC-2 dust collector) for the general arrangement.
Place all components in a convenient location where
compressed air and electrical service are available. The
cabinet location must comply with OSHA and local
safety codes. Allow for full access to all doors and
service areas, and for efficient handling of large parts.
Provide enough clearance at the dust collector for
maintenance and to remove the dust container. Place
the reclaimer directly behind the cabinet with flex hose
connection and metering valve facing toward the cabinet
to allow for as few bends as possible. Determine the
best location for all components and position them
before making compressed air connections, electrical
connections, and attaching flex hose.
2.1.5 Refer to the dust collector owner’s manual to set
up the dust collector and prepare it for operation.

2.2 Connect Conveying Hose, Figure 5
Figure 5
2.2.1 Connect the two smallest diameter flexible
conveying hoses between the cabinet hopper transitions
and wye pipe adaptor. It is easier to slip the hose over
the adaptor and to create a tighter seal if the first two or
three inches of wire are removed from the inside of the
hose. Use care not to damage the hose. NOTE: The
hose wire helps dissipate static electricity in the
conveying hose, and also helps ground each segment.
In order for the hose wire to dissipate static electricity,
the wire must touch the metal of each segment. Clamp
the flex hose securely with worm clamps provided.
2.2.2 Connect the intermediate diameter flex hose
between the wye pipe and reclaimer inlet adaptor. Clamp
the flex hose securely with worm clamps provided.
2.2.3 The largest diameter hose attaches to the
reclaimer outlet, which will be connected later.
2.3 Connect Compressed Air Supply Line(s)
WARNING
Failure to observe the following before
connecting the equipment to the compressed
air source could cause serious injury or death
from the sudden release of compressed air.
• Lockout and tagout the compressed air supply.
• Bleed the compressed air supply line.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of injury from compressed air,
install an isolation valve and bleed-off valve
where the air supply is tapped into the
compressed air system. This enables
depressurization of the compressed-air line
before performing maintenance.
2.3.1 Refer to Paragraph 2.3.2 to determine the
recommended air supply hose size, then refer to Figure
6 and apply thread sealant to the male threads of an air
fitting that is compatible with the air supply hose fitting,
and install it onto the 1/2-NPT air filter located under the
cabinet hopper. Note that the style of connection
shown in Figure 6 is for reference only.

The optional manometer kit is listed in Section 9.1.
3.3.1 Consistent static pressure is necessary for
precise media separation, as the reclaimer's efficiency is
achieved by a centrifugal balance of air flow, particle
weight, and size. The manometer measures static
pressure. Reclaimer static pressure is set by adjusting
the dust collector ventilation-damper. Refer to Section
5.4 to adjust static pressure. Refer to Section 5.8 for
manometer instructions.
3.4 Armrest
3.4.1 Assemble the armrest and mounting brackets as
shown in Figure 10.
3.4.2 Position the assembly so the armrest is about
even with the bottom of the arm-port opening. Mark one
hole location on the front of the cabinet at each
mounting bracket.
Figure 10
3.4.3 Drill a 3/8" hole at both locations and mount the
armrest using 5/16 cap screw, washers and nuts. Install
the bolts from inside the cabinet to protect the threads
from abrasion, should the armrest need to be removed
at a later date.
3.4.4 Match drill the remaining four bracket holes and
install the remaining fasteners.
3.4.5 Loosen the fasteners on the slotted bracket and
raise or lower the armrest to a comfortable position.

3.5.2 Install inside track, refer to Figure 12
3.5.2.1 Lay the inside track on the cabinet hoppers and
above the grate as shown in Figure 12.
3.5.2.2 Push the end support bar against the inside
cabinet wall, opposite the door, and insert the angled
tabs on the door end of the track into the two sleeves on
the hopper as shown.
Figure 12
3.5.2.3 Make sure the weight of the track is evenly
distributed over the hoppers and match drill for 3/8
fasteners through the cabinet wall, at the four hole
locations in the end support bar. If necessary, mark the
hole locations and remove the track for drilling.
3.5.2.4 Secure the inside track to the cabinet with four
3/8-NC cap screw, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts
provided.
3.5.3 Position outside track, refer to Figure 3
3.5.3.1 Place the outside track so it is in-line with the
inside track. Space the track so the top rails (not the
smaller support rails) on the hinged end are approximately
42-inches from the top rails on the inside track.
