Transportation
When transporting the BP-10 SUPER shotblasting machine, it is strongly recommended that
personnel act in a manner so as to reduce the potential that damage takes place as a result of
using excessive force or of using incorrect loading and unloading procedures.
Note: Personnel must remove any shot from the machine before it is transported. Also, the
machine may only be lifted by using the suspension eyelets; forklifts should never to be
used to transport the BP-10 SUPER shotblasting machine.
Wear Parts
The BP-10 SUPER contains parts which are continually exposed to steel shot moving at high
rates of speed. Exposure to steel shot traveling at high rates of speed and concrete dust causes
these parts to deteriorate. As a result, the operator or maintenance personnel should inspect the
BP-10 SUPER wear parts prior to operation and change the parts as necessary. Wear parts and
inspection times, other than inspection prior to use, on the BP-10 SUPER are listed below:
Part When to Inspect Evidence of Wear
Shot Hopper 30 hours Warping or thin spots
Feed Spout 50 hours Thin spots
Blast Wheel 10 hours Blades deteriorated > 50%
Control Cage 10 hours Deteriorated edges
Blast Wheel Hub 10 hours Missing pins/deterioration
Liners 10 hours Warping, holes, deterioration
Blast Housing 50 hours Thin sections or other deteriorations
Note: Parts of the BP-10 SUPER which should also be inspected regularly but are not
exposed to steel shot are the control panel, motor, electric cords, dust collector hose, filters,
and motors. If any of these components show signs of wear they should be repaired so that
they are in the same working condition as when they were new. If they cannot be repaired,
then they should be replaced immediately.
