Calculations performed according to the ISO 5167 standard
The indicated air consumption data are referred to the maximum theoretical air flow that can be reached.
To obtain these results, a compressor able to deliver these amounts must be used, increased by a
precautionary 15-20% usually lost in the passage from the compressor to the nozzle.
For IBIX 25, a minimum 3/4” blasting material hose should be used.
Spot-blasting can be carried out by using much smaller amounts of air than what is indicated in the table
here above.
The work process can be outlined as follows:
compressed air coming from the air compressor feeds the eco-blaster after a pneumatic
actuator is controlled which enables the main air valve to feed compressed air into the
blasting material tank. The pneumatic actuator, receiving air from the twin air
hose, is controlled by the remote-controlled gun trigger. Pressure inside the tank will
push the blasting material towards the blasting material/air mixing valve. The blasting
material/compressed air mix is pushed through the abrasive-proofed hose all the way to
the gun, and out of the gun through a tungsten carbide nozzle.
The operators in charge of operating the machine must always wear hearing protectors
while the machine is running (in addition to all the other mentioned personal protection
devices).
The machine noise levels depend on the type of air compressor used and on the selected
working pressure.
