ATTENTION!
SAFETYPROCEDURESFOR BLASTCABINETOPERATION.
1. Protective gloves must be worn while carrying out abrasive blasting.
2. Worn out or damaged equipment should never be used during operation.
3. The nozzle should onlybe pointed at the area to be cleaned. The nozzle
should never be pointed toward the cabinet windows.
4. Only dry and well-sifted abrasive materials, appropriate for abrasive
blasting operations, should be used.
5. Prior to beginning blast cabinet operation it is essential to:
-Make certain that gloves, gaskets, hoses and Àttings are not worn out;
-Secure hose couplings with wire, if the couplings are used;
-Make certain that the cabinet is grounded.
6. All doors on the cabinet, reclaimer or dust collector must remain closed
while the blasting procedure is being carried out.
7. Use the blow nozzle to blow media from the blasted parts after blasting,
before opening the doors and before turning off the exhauster.
8. Never open the doors or turn off the exhauster until the cabinet is com-
pletelyfree of abrasive dust.

3. General Information
3.1. General Information
Contracor abrasiveblast cabinetsenclosetheblastingenvironment,providingefÀcient
blast cleaningwhilekeepingthesurroundingwork areaclean.
Blast cabinet productionratesdependupon thesizeof thenozzle,thecapacityof the
compressor, theworkingpressure, thetypeandsizeof abrasivemediaandthedistance
between thenozzleandtheareatobecleaned.
Contracor ECO-typepressureblast cabinetsaremadeupof threemainelements:
1. Arobust, welded steel cabinet enclosure,
2. A13-liter blast machinewith adurable FSV-0 meteringvalve,
3.Adust collector consistingof ahighlyefÀcient fan andmanuallycleanedcartridgeÀlter.
An automaticpulse-cleaned cartridgeÀlter isavailableas an option.
3.2. Theory of Operation
When the air supplyis on, and the cabinet door is closed, the blast machine is ready
for operation byactuatingthe foot pedal. Onlybyfully depressing the pedal is the machine
pressurized and blast media arepropelled through the nozzle.
After striking the object being blasted, the blast media, alongwith Ànes, dust, and by-
products generated byblasting, fall through the mesh work table into the cabinet hopper.
Byreleasing the foot pedal the machine is depressurized and blastingstops, allowing
blast media to recollect in the machine.
The dust collector Àlter cartridge is cleaned byopeninga ball valve, expanding
compressed air at high velocityagainst the inner surface of the cartridge.. The expanding
air momentarilyreverses airÁowthrough the cartridge to release dust accumulated on the
outer surface.
The dust particles fall awayfrom the cartridge and into the hopper for removal.

Version 2.316
Aautomatic pulsed air cleaned dust collector is available asan option. Here the
dust collector Àlter cartridge isautomaticallycleaned byan electronicallytimed pulseof
compressed air against the inner surface of the cartridge.
3.3. Blast Machine and Nozzle options
The blast machine pressure vessel is manufactured accordingto European CE
regulations, asdescribed in attached CECertiÀcate of conformity. The owner must ensure
and maintain theintegrityof thevessel, asmaybe requiredin somecountries.
After havingensured that the air supplyis activated and the cabinet door isclosed,
the media chamber can be actuated bythe foot pedal. Bypressingthe foot pedal, the inlet
valve is opened and the outlet valve is closed, resultingin the chamber beingpressurized
and the blastingbeginning. Byreleasingthe foot pedal, the chamber is depressurized and
blasting stops. The standard nozzle delivered with the blast cabinet is a tungsten-carbide
nozzle with a 5.0 mm oriÀce. In addition, 6.5 and 8.0 mm nozzles are available.
ATTENTION!
Excessive air pressure could cause the media chamber to rupture. To pre-
vent seriousinjury or death, do not exceed the rated pressure of the media
chamber vessel.
3.4. Blast Media
Contracor cabinets usemost common media, 180 mesh and coarser,which havebeen
speciÀcallyproduced for dryblasting.Theappropriate mediamesh sizeandnozzlesizeare
basedontypicalmediaÁow.Thick mediaÁoworlowstaticpressurewilldecreasethesizeof the

Steel blast media: Still grit or shot isacceptablefor limited usewith ECO-80P…. ECO-

Thisspecial requirement needsto bestated at thetimeof order.

4. Set-up, Operation and Shut Down
4.1. Installation and Set-up
4.1.1 Location
Alocation should bechosen wherecompressedair,water andelectrical services are
readilyavailable. Accesstoall doorsandserviceareasmust bepossible, aswell asenough
spacefor efÀcientlyhandlinglargeparts.
4.1.2 Compressed Air SupplyLine
Thecompressed air supplyline should be connected withmin.I.D.= 1/2”” tothecabinet
inlet. Use aÁexiblehosewith thesamemin.I.D.as themainair line when connecting. Blasting
performancemaybediminished byusingan air supplylineor hosewith asmaller diameter.
4.1.3 Grounding
The cabinet must be grounded to prevent the build up of static electricity. Attach an
externallygrounded wire to the grounding lug at the cabinet skirt.
ATTENTION!
Before using the blast cabinet, make sure that all pipe Àttings and hose
clamps are tight. Serious injury could occur if the hose is disconnected
while under pressure.
NOTE:theabovetableshows onlytheair required fortheblast nozzle. Additional air is
required for theair cartridgecleaning,which must beadded to theabovevalues..
Theabovevalues arevalid for nozzles when new. As nozzlewear increases,sodoes the
air consumption,upto70%to80%more than when new.

ECO-series pressure blast cabinets 19
ATTENTION!
Never look into the reclaimer exhauster outlet while the exhauster is
turning. Serious injury to the eyesor face can occur from objects being
ejected from the exhauster.
4.1.4 Electrical Power Connection
Awiringplan is provided with the cabinet. Check the motor rotation after wiringis
Ànished bymomentarilyturning the switch on and off. The motor will turn slowly. Inspect
the rotation of the motor fan through the slots in the motor's housing. The fan should rotate
clockwise when observed from the end of the fan towards the motor.
ATTENTION!
AqualiÀed electrician must carry out all electrical work according to the
national and local standards.
4.1.5 Cabinet Static Pressure
Cabinet static pressure must be set to match the cabinet dimensions. The pressure
inside the cabin is adjusted with the throttle valve which is located on the air & dust suction
pipe on the dust collector. Trydifferent settings of the throttle valvewhilst blastinguntil the
cabin visibilityis good when the exhaustingfan is switched on.
4.1.6 Foot Pedal
For easyaccess, the pedal should be situated on the Áoor at the front of the cabinet.
The blast cabinet is intended to be operated byone-person. You must be able to remove
your foot rapidlyfrom thepedal in an emergency.
4.2. Blasting Operation
4.2.1 Loading Media
With the exhauster off, add clean drymedia, bypouringit into the cabinet hopper
through the cabinet loadingdoor. Do not Àll past the cone on the reclaimer. OverÀllingwill
result in media carryover to the dust collector and possiblyblockage in the conveyinghose.
ReÀll only after all media has been recovered from the cabinet. The minimum amount of
media to charge the system is as follows:

ENGLISH
CONTRACOR
®
Version 2.320
ATTENTION!
Always close cabinet and dust collector doors before blasting. All doors
must be kept closed during blasting. Always wear blast gloves. Never point
the blast nozzle toward the view window.
Use the blow-off nozzle to blow media off parts before opening doors.
Keep doors closed after blasting and the exhauster on until the cabinet is
clear of all airborne dust.
If dust leaks are detected, stop blasting immediately.

4.2.2 Unloading Media
Toemptymedia out of the blast cabinet, pressure must Àrst bereduced to3bar. Then
place an emptycontainer on the grate of the cabinet. Remove nozzle and washer from
nozzle holder, close the door and choke valve, and depress the foot pedal. Media Áow is to
be directed into the container until full. Repeat as often as necessaryuntil the machine is
empty. Whilst handlingthe container, local Operational Health and Safetyregulationsare to
be observed. When the machine is empty, return the choke valve to the fullyopen position.
Inspect and clean the threads on nozzle holder and nozzle before reinstallingnozzle washer
and nozzle.
4.2.3 Loading and Unloading Parts
Parts maybeloaded and unloaded through the front cabinet door. The door maybe
opened so far as to allowloadingfrom above, allowinguse of a travellingcrane, thereby
increasing operator safety. Blasted parts must be free of oil, water, grease, or other
contaminants that will clog media or Àlters. Byclosingthe door, be certain that the door is
sealed securelyor door interlock system will prevent blasting.
4.2.4 Blasting Operation
