turn the adjusting screw out (counterclockwise when
viewed from the top) until the media flows smoothly.
Tighten the locking nut finger-tight to maintain the setting.

4.3.4 If media flow is too light, decrease air in the
mixture by turning the metering screw in (clockwise when
viewed from the top) covering more of the holes so less air
enters the media hose. Tighten the locking nut finger-tight
to maintain the setting.
5.0 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Failure to wear approved respirators and eye
protection when servicing dust-laden areas of
the cabinet and vacuum collector, and when
emptying the collector could result in serious
eye irritation and lung disease or death.
Toxicity and health risk vary with type of media
and dust generated by blasting. The respirator
must be approved for the type of dust
generated. Identify all material being removed
by blasting, and obtain a material safety data
sheet for the blast media.
NOTE: To avoid unscheduled downtime, establish a
weekly inspection schedule. Inspect all parts subjected
to media contact, including; the gun, nozzle, media
hose, and flex hose, plus all items covered in this
section.
5.1. BNP Gun Assembly
5.1.1 Inspect the BNP gun for wear. Inspection and
replacement of the air jet cover before it wears through
will prolong the life of the jet.
5.2 Dust Filter
5.2.1 The filter collects dust on its outer surface. A
high dust level in the cabinet indicates a dirty filter.
Empty as frequently as necessary to maintain visibility in
the cabinet, or daily and adjust frequency based on
usage and breakdown rate of media. Dump the contents
into a suitable disposal container.
NOTE: Blast media is usually non-toxic, however, some
materials removed by the process may be. Do not use
the INEX cabinet for blasting toxic materials. Use
cabinets with reverse pulse dust collectors and HEPA
filter for those applications.
5.2.2 Clean the filter by using a low pressure air blow-
off nozzle. Direct the air inside the filter, blowing toward
the outside or brush the outside of the filter with a soft
bristle brush.
5.3 View Window Cover Lens
5.3.1 Rapid frosting of the view window can be
avoided by directing ricocheting media away from the
window, and by installing a cover lens on the inside
surface of the window. Using cover lenses prolongs the
life of the view window.
5.3.2 To install a cover lens, remove the adhesive
backing and apply the lens to the clean, dry, inner
surface of the view window. When the cover lens
becomes pitted or frosted, peel it off and replace it.
5.4 Air Filter
5.4.1 The cabinet is equipped with a manual drain air
filter. Drain the filter at least once a day, and more often
if water is present. Moist air inhibits the flow of media. If
moisture continues to be a problem, a dryer or after
cooler may be required in the air supply line.
5.5 Media Hose
5.5.1 To avoid unscheduled down-time, periodically
inspect the media hose for thin spots, by pinching it
every 6 to 12 inches. Replace the hose when in
becomes soft..
