1. Introduction
This manual should be regarded as part of the product and must be retained for the life of the
machine. The manual must be passed to any subsequent owners of the machine.
Any amendments should be attached to the original manual. Machine identification and serial number
can be found on the identification plate fixed to the machine body.
1.1 Safety recommendations
Users of Guyson equipment are advised to make sure they have identified any hazards associated
with their specific blasting processes, including:
Use of compressed air
Fire/explosion risks, e.g. Aluminium dust
Suitable procedures for dealing with fire hazards
Production of carcinogenic or toxic dusts from media or component surface removal
Any other known hazards
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have implemented any current regulatory requirements,
e.g. COSHH, to deal with any potential risks and/or hazards associated with their processes.
ATEX ZONE DESIGNATION
The ATEX Directives 2014/34/EU (product requirements) and 99/92/EC (user requirements) are
implemented by the Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in potentially explosive
Atmospheres Regulations 1996 (EPS and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere
Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) respectively.
We are able to provide equipment that is suitable for use in a hazardous area, and/or equipment that
is suitable for use when a hazardous area is created within a system, but it is the end users’
responsibility to classify the area in which the equipment is to be used and/or the explosivity of any
internal atmosphere created within the system. This is defined in Section 2, Article 3 to 9 of the
99/92/EC Directive (ATEX 137).
Unless we have been advised otherwise, we have to assume that the equipment will be used in an
area that is not classified as potentially explosive, and uses a process which will not create an
explosive atmosphere within the equipment.
1.2 Electrical specification
Electrical wiring on Guyson equipment conforms to:
BSEN 60204-1:2006

** Nozzles have traditionally been given numbers to denote their size. This number defines the bore
size in sixteenths of an inch e.g. a Guyson G2 nozzle is 2 sixteenths or one eight of an inch. Bore
sizes are also “rounded” to the nearest millimeter size but of course, this is not exact. The chart above
indicates the “rounded” figure first with the exact size in brackets.

3. Installation
The system will comprise of the following units:
•Blast Cabinet/Cyclone/Dust Collector
Flexible extraction hoses, sealing bands and hose clamps are supplied to connect these together.
Remove packing materials and check inside blast cabinet for loose items.
3.1 Location
The equipment must be located on a clean, dry surface.
Locate the cabinet in the required position and orientation; always allow sufficient room around the
units to fully open doors and to give access for operation and maintenance.
Care should be taken to ensure all parts of the system are level

3.2 Assembly
Hoses with media flowing through them should only have smooth flowing curves in them.
Note:
If your system requires a G55 pressure pot then this will already be connected to the cyclone.
G27 pressure pot
Connect the flexible extraction hose
from the bottom cyclone outlet to the
pressure pot inlet using the supplied
sealing bands.
Connect the flexible extraction hose from the cyclone outlet to the dust collector
inlet using the sealing bands and hose clamps supplied.
Connect the flexible extraction hose from the cabinet outlet to the cyclone inlet
using the sealing bands and hose clamps supplied.

3.2.1 Compressed air connections
The air supply should be from a manual shut-off valve that will exhaust down-stream air and be clean,
dry and oil-free.
The machine requires a compressed air supply at a maximum of 6.0 bar (90 psi) at the filter inlet and
pipework of adequate diameter to provide the flow rate required (see air consumption tables). The
minimum recommended bore for the compressed air line is 1” and it connects to a 3/4” BSP thread.
Take care that any jointing material (e.g. PTFE tape) does not enter the pipework.
Connect the main compressed air supply to the pneumatic isolator valve.

Electrical installations should only be carried out by qualified electricians
Please see “Electrical Installation of Dust Collectors and Cyclones” in the appendix
Power supplies should be
taken to the starter boxes

4. Testing installation
4.1 Testing installation procedure
After completing all the connections the cabinet operation should be checked.
Do not add media at this stage
Do not open the air supply at this stage
•Switch on main electrical power supply
•Switch on cabinet light
•Start the dust collector:
oThe direction of the impellor motor should be checked visually against the arrow on
the motor. If rotation is in the wrong direction, then on a 3 phase motor two of the
input phase lines should be changed over. Guyson International should be contacted
for more information if it is a single phase motor.
NOTE: Air will flow from the outlet even if the fan rotation is wrong, but only at a low
level, so rotation must be checked visually.
The best way to do this task is by starting then stopping the dust collector and watch
the fan as it slows down.
On a 41 dust collector the motor is inside. The
front cover must be removed to see the top of
the motor.
On a C400 dust collector the motor is on the
outside and can be easily checked.

The C600 motor can be viewed through the
mesh screening on the top of the unit.
On a C800 dust collector the motor is inside.
There is a viewing hatch on top of the dust
collector that can be opened to see the top of
the motor.
•Start the cyclone:
oThe direction of the impellor motor should be checked visually against the arrow on
the motor. If rotation is in the wrong direction, then on a 3 phase motor two of the
input phase lines should be changed over. Guyson International should be contacted
for more information if it is a single phase motor.
NOTE: Air will flow from the outlet even if the fan rotation is wrong, but only at a low
level, so rotation must be checked visually.
The best way to do this task is by starting then stopping the cyclone and watch the

On a 75/16 and CY600 cyclone the motors are on
the outside and can be easily checked.

4.2 Media levels
The media should be added to the pressure pot either via the 75/16 cyclones upper door or the
CY600 cyclones filler chute. ¼ - ¾ of a 25kg bag of media should suffice.
NOTE: If a HE cyclone is fitted, media should be added to the cabinet hopper.
4.2.1 Adding media to 75/16 cyclone
•Turn off the dust collector
•Turn off the cyclone
•Open the upper cyclone door
•Pour media into the cyclone
•Close the door
•Turn the dust collector on
•Turn the cyclone on
The upper door should always be used so the media
can pass through the sieve before it gets to the mixer
box.
4.2.2 Adding media to CY600 cyclone
•Turn off the dust collector
•Turn off the cyclone
•Open the filler chute flap
•Pour media into the cyclone
•Close the filler chute flap
•Turn the dust collector on
•Turn the cyclone on
