6.1 Operation
Normal start-up and operation of the blast machine 500 E Global is
no different from the procedure described in Chapter 5 “Initial
operation”.
Carry out blasting in parallel tracks in such a way that the dust hose
and electric cable do not become twisted.
Figure 6.1 shows the recommended blast paths leading away from the
filter unit.
Make sure that no vehicles, such as forklift trucks and other
equipment run over the electric cable and the dust hose.
The selection of the correct advancing speed of the blast machine is
important for a good blast result. In the case that the surface has
different characteristics (e.g. different hardness or different coating
thicknesses), a uniform blast result can be achieved by varying the
advancing speed during blast cleaning.
6.2 Electric drive system
The drive system is integrated in the Control box. There is an ON and
an OFF switch on this control box to operate the drive system.
