Introduction
About This Manual
This manual should be kept with the machine and be readily accessible to machine operators and
maintenance personnel.
This manual contains information on the safety, transportation, operation, and maintenance of this
machine.
The graphics used in this manual may show machine details that may be dierent than the actual
machine. Components of the machine may have been removed for illustrative purposes or the
continuing improvement of the machine’s design may cause changes that are not included in this
publication.
The owner of this machine is responsible for verifying the operator of this machine is properly
trained and understands the contents of this manual.
About The PCS 60
This machine combines patented technology in a lightweight and compact design that gives the
operator unparalleled control for dry ice cleaning and other applications.
yThe Advanced Air-Flow System reduces pressure loss as the air ows straight through the
system which also decreases sublimation and loss of the dry ice particles.
yThe Blast Pressure Control System can be regulated digitally from the 7” HMI color screen on
the control panel or certain applicators.
yThe Sure Flow System with Dynamic Agitation is designed to keep warm air, moisture, and
debris out of the hopper while keeping the dry ice owing. The level of dry ice in the hopper
can be monitored from the HMI screen of the control panel or certain applicators.
yThe Advanced Direct Drive Feeding System is a two-stage feeding system that improves feed
rate consistency and maximizes dry ice particle integrity.
yThis machine includes a Particle Control SystemTM brand blast media resizer that allows the
operator to control the size of dry ice particles being blasted from 0.3 mm micro-particles
to 3.0 mm pellets. The PCS is designed to precision-cut dry ice pellets into diamond-shaped
particles.
Environmental Impact
Dry ice is a safe, clean, and non-toxic medium approved by the EPA, USDA, and FDA. The dry ice
used in this machine is made from reclaimed CO2generated from other industrial processes.

Safety
General Safety Guidelines
This machine is designed to comply with international design standards and the European
Machinery Directives. Therefore, using the machine does not pose a risk to the operator when the
instructions in this manual are followed carefully. However, certain precautions must be followed
during its use. To understand all the necessary precautions, the machine operator must read the
entire manual before operating or performing maintenance on the machine.
Operation and maintenance should only be performed by authorized and trained personnel. Below
are some basic safety guidelines:
yFollow local governing codes to ensure a minimum standard of safety.
yWear protective gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection.
yOperate the machine in a well-ventilated work area.
yFollow the prescribed maintenance schedule (see “Maintenance” on page <?>).
yStart up and shut down the machine according to the instructions in this manual.
yDo not operate a machine that is damaged or in disrepair.
yDo not store objects on top of machine hopper.
CO2 Safety
This machine uses dry ice (CO2 in solid form). The temperature of dry ice is -109°F (-78.9°C). Avoid
coming into direct contact with dry ice as it may cause severe tissue damage.
Study the material safety data sheet (MSDS) of dry ice (CO2) supplied with the delivery of dry ice and
follow all the recommendations and guidelines listed therein.
Operate the blaster in a well-ventilated work area with continuous CO2 -level monitoring. The eects
of CO2 are entirely independent of the eects of oxygen deciency. Therefore, CO2concentrations
at 3-5% causes headaches, fast breathing and discomfort while higher concentrations may cause
unconsciousness, suocation or respiratory arrest. The legal exposure limit set by OSHA is a 0.5%
average over an 8-hour workday and the acute (15 minute) exposure limit set is 3.0%.
Always use a CO2 monitoring/alarm system when working with machinery that emits CO2in a
conned room/space.
Electrostatic Discharge
Dry ice blasting may create electrostatic discharges. This machine is tted with eective electrostatic
dischargers to prevent injury or damage. Also, the machine must be plugged into a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
It is recommended to avoid operating the machine near explosive or ammable material. Also, use a
plastic shovel when handling dry ice to eliminate any electrostatic discharge.

and provide a suitable warning. The legal exposure limit set by OSHA is a 0.5%
average over an 8-hour workday.
WARNING Ensure that expended dry ice pellet emissions are not in the vicinity of air
ventilation.
WARNING This machine has been designed for use with 3mm dry ice pellets
recommended by Cold Jet. The use of other cleaning agents or chemicals may
adversely aect the safety of the machine.
WARNING High pressure blast streams can be dangerous if subject to misuse. The blast
stream must never be directed at persons, live electrical equipment or the
machine itself.
WARNING Do not use the machine within range of persons unless they wear the
personal protective equipment. (PPE)

Control Panel and HMI Screens
This PCS 60 uses a rotary encoder dial that allows the operator to navigate, select and adjust
settings on the control panel screen. You must rst press the rotary encoder to activate navigation.
Navigate between options by turning the rotary encoder dial left or right; this will highlight the option
in blue. Once the desired option is highlighted, simply press the dial to select it; this will highlight the
option in green. With the option selected (green), turn the rotary encoder dial left or right to adjust
the setting then press again to accept.
Some options can be adjusted directly from the home screen while other options can be found on
other screens. To access these other screens using the rotary encoder dial, navigate to the settings
screen and press to select. Continue to navigate through the screens (i.e. recipe, status, applicator,
advanced, reset, settings) and adjust the settings as needed by turning and pressing the rotary
encoder dial.
When not being used, the screen on the control panel will display a screen saver with feed rate,
particle size, air pressure, blast pressure and hopper level. Press the rotary encoder dial to bring up
the home screen.

Setting Up the PCS 60
WARNING Improper installation of hoses and adapters to the PCS 60 can cause damage
to the machine or the applicators.
Do not use one wrench when tightening or replacing ttings on the PCS 60 machine or the
applicators.
Always use two wrenches to install and remove hoses and accessories on the PCS 60 or the
applicators.
CAUTION When attaching the blast hose, make sure to put a 1” wrench on the SST base
connection of the rotary union. DO NOT rely on the polymer housing to keep
it from rotating. Any connections that are frozen should be thawed by running
air only through the applicator if machine has been in operation.
Follow the instructions below to set up the PCS 60:
1. Set the parking brake by pressing down (lift to release).
2. Attach the blast hose and control cable to the PCS 60.
Figure 6: Hose Conguration
Each machine is shipped with one 20’ “applicator” hose. If additional hose is needed, a “machine”
hose needs to be added. Any additional length requires “extension” hoses.
They may also be shipped with a 12’ applicator hose if the PCS 60 is ordered with Precision Kit only.
The reason for the dierent names is due to the quick disconnects (QDCs). Specic QDCs are
required to mate hoses of dierent sizes.
The “applicator” hose includes a QDC to connect directly to a machine by default, but will not
connect to a “machine” hose. The “machine” hose includes the QDC required to connect to an
applicator hose, so a swap is necessary.
3. Attach an applicator to the blast hose and control cable using the two supplied wrenches.

24 25
WARNING Do not use the applicator body or handle for leverage when tightening the the blast
hose to the applicator. Always use two wrenches to prevent damaging the applicator and ttings.
WARNING Do not tape, tie, or bind the blast hose and the control cable. The blast hose and
control cable are designed and tested to prevent cracking and damage. Constraining the design
exibility may void the control cable and blast hose warranty.
4. Attach a nozzle to the applicator.
5. Attach the ground reel to the article that is being blasted.
a. Pull out the ground reel to the distance needed to attach to the material being
blasted.
b. Relax the ground cable and the ground line will lock into position.
c. To reel the ground line back in, pull the ground line until it begins to spool back in
without locking. Do not let go of the ground line, feed it back into the spool until the
line is completely reeled back in.
Figure 7: Static Ground Reel
6. Attach the power cord to the PCS 60 and then to an appropriate electrical outlet (see “PCS
60 Data” on page 8). (The machine will go into a calibration mode which will take 20-30
seconds)
7. Loop the whip check around the air supply hose as illustrated and attach the air supply hose
to the front of the PLT 60.
CAUTION When connecting the air supply hose to the blaster, always run the hose
through the choker of the whip check in case of accidental disconnect
Figure 8: Whip Check
8. Attach the air supply hose to the front of the PCS 60.
Maximum air supply pressure is 145 psi (10 bar)
9. Turn the air supply on and allow the air hose to pressurize.
The PCS 60 automatically bleeds pressure when the e-stop is engaged,
the safety grate is open, the unit is powered o, and/or is disconnected
from its power source
10. Once the PCS 60 is set up, go to “Starting the PCS 60” on page 27.

Compressed Air Supply
For best results while blasting, incoming air supply must be as free of oil and dirt as possible.
It is recommended that the incoming supply air— lters, oil lters, and water separators are
continuously monitored to ensure the PCS 60 receives the air your machine use is specied for. The
compressed air must have a low moisture level for optimal and continued performance. The air
quality and standards are as follows:

4. Automated blasting, continuous blasting for any amount of time, with .04 inch (1mm)
micropellets or smaller particles (Particle Control System) - Class 1.
The air purity classication given in this part of ISO 8573 is intended to provide a guide to the air
purity expected in the compressed air system rather than resulting from the inclusion of a single
air treatment component. It should be recognized that achieving any given air purity specication
cannot be done exclusively by a combination of equipment; the specication of the correct
lubricants/coolants and the correct control of physical parameters, such as temperature, are also
required. The correct control of such parameters as temperature has an eect on the physical
state of the liquids, which can become aerosols or vapours. To maintain the air purity within a
compressed air system, it is considered essential that suppliers’ recommendations regarding
maintenance intervals be followed.
Starting the PCS 60
WARNING Never blast the display screen area of the PCS 60 with dry ice as this will cause
permanent damage to the screen.

a. On the Performance and Precision applicator, press the air+ice button (II) to activate
(green light indicates ON and pressing the II button again will set the system to OFF).
3. Using the rotary encoder dial, navigate to the feed rate indicator on the home screen and
adjust it to the maximum setting. The maximum feed rates in the PCS 60 change on the HMI
depending on what sized particle is selected. Max dry ice feed rates per particle size:
a. 0.3 & 0.4 mm - 2.5 lbs/min (1.13 kg/min)
b. 0.5 mm - 2.7 lbs/min (1.22 kg/min)
c. 0.6 mm - 2.8 lbs/min (1.27 kg/min)
d. 0.7 mm - 2.9 lbs/min (1.31 kg/min)
e. 0.8 to 2.9 lbs/min - 3.0 lbs/min (1.31-1.36 kg/min)
f. 3 mm - 4.0 lbs/min (1.81 kg/min)
4. If no ice has been loaded into the hopper for an extended period of time (days), then press
the air + ice button (II) and pull the trigger and blast for 2 minutes.

c. Check the hopper for the presence of any foreign material or condensate and clean
or remove as necessary.
d. Load the hopper with 3 mm dry ice pellets.
CAUTION Use only 3mm dry ice pellets for blast media. The use of any other
media will lead to loss of warranty coverage
e. Close the lid.
The SureFlow Hopper system is a feature designed into the PCS 60 that will keep the dry ice owing
in the insulated hopper and a sealed lid while the hopper is in use and idle for a short period of
time. The vibrator for the PCS 60 will intermittently operate with short bursts to ensure the dry ice
continues owing or dropping toward the bottom of the hopper. The settings for the vibrator may
be changed by the operator in the advanced menu of the PCS 60 to adjust the frequency and time
of the vibrator. The PCS 60 is equipped with a magnetic switch on the safeguard grate for safety.
Should the safeguard grate be opened while the PCS 60 is operating, it will go into idle until it is
closed, at which time normal operations may begin. There is no need to set-up the machine again.
Blasting Dry Ice Particles
For optimum performance while blast cleaning with the performance applicator or the precision
applicator:
yPosition the PCS 60 and blast hose to prevent kinking and allow for maximum
maneuverability.
yHold the nozzle perpendicular to surface being cleaned at a distance of 2-6 inches
(5-15 cm).
yTo nd the optimum feed rate, start at 0 and gradually increase until the desired cleaning
result and/or cleaning performance is achieved.
yUse a lower feed rate when the air pressure is below 50 psi (3.4 bar).
Follow the instructions below to start blasting dry ice particles:
1. On the performance or the precision applicator, press the air/ice control (II) to activate (green
light ON).
