Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Introduc
tion
This following technical manual provides instruction on installation and operation of the Garnet
Removal System manufactured by Ebbco Inc. With correct maintenance and system operation the Garnet
Removal System will keep garnet form building up in the waterjet cutting machines work tank and will
increasing production by eliminating down time for tank shoveling. The Garnet Removal System will
require some assembly on site. This will include sweeper package assembly and connecting the Garnet
Removal System to the waterjet cutting machines work tank. The Garnet Removal System is
manufactured using quality materials and by highly experience production staff. The Garnet Removal
System is tested in Ebbco's test department to ensure that it meets the specifications required by the
customer. The Garnet Removal System is inspected and all test data documented prior to shipment.
1.2 Sequence of operation.
This system is designed to keep garnet from building up in the cutting table. The method used to
achieve this is the use of agitation on the bottom of the tank by water pumped through eductor header
nozzles located and directed in engineered locations. The garnet thus stays in suspension due to the
agitation and is carried out of the tank by way of the heavy duty centrifugal pump. It is pumped through a
centrifugal separator, which concentrates the garnet in the fluid stream and separates it for disposal into
an abrasive bag hopper. Excess water that comes out of the separator when it purges the solids from the
collection chamber is decanted from the hopper, returning to system tank.
