Fault Diagnostics
Problem
Solution
The shot blasting
machine will not operate.
First, make sure the machine is being supplied power &
that this power is within proper parameters. Second,
verify that the shot blasting machine & dust collector are
turned on. Third, with shot blasting machine as well as
dust collector turned off & all power sources
disconnected, open panel door on shot blasting machine
& check the status of the Control Power Overload in each
control panel. Make sure that the overload device is in
the on position.
Breaker is tripping when
shot blasting machine &
dust collector are turned
to the ON position.
The shot blasting machine & dust collector should be
powered by separate breakers. Find electric outlets with
separate breaker switches & use accordingly. Check
circuit breaker sizes.
The shot blasting
machine is vibrating
excessively.
Check blast wheel immediately. Excessive vibration is
usually caused by the blast wheel being out of balance
due to it being worn or by blades being broken or
chipped. Install new blast wheel kit. Failure to install new
wheel kit in this instance could lead to serious damage to
machine.
If blast wheel doesn’t seem to have any problems, check
ventilation system. A ventilation system that requires
maintenance may cause the shot blasting machine to
shake excessively.
The shot blasting
machine is creating
excessive noise.
This problem is most likely caused by an improper
alignment of the blast wheel & control cage. Check
alignment of blast wheel & control cage immediately &
verify that there is adequate clearance between the blast
wheel & the control cage.
