Problem |
| Possible Solution |
Blast flow surges. | 1. | Air pressure too low. Increase air pressure. |
| 2. | Too much media. Adjust Abrasive Control Valve. |
Excessive media consumption. | 1. | Abrasive Control Valve open too far. Close slightly. |
| 2. | Air pressure too low. Increase air pressure. |
Clogging and plugging of blast flow. | 1. Excessive debris in media. Purge and filter media. | |
| 2. | Media size too large. Use smaller grit size. |
| 3. | Nozzle plugging. Use larger Nozzle. |
| 4. | Nozzle plugging. Adjust Abrasive Control Valve. |
| 5. | Wet media. Dry media. Drain water from Water Trap. |
Moisture in abrasive media. | 1. | Wet media. Change or use dry media. |
| 2. | Excessive humidity in air. Drain water from Water Trap. |
| 3. | Water in Tank. Empty Tank, and refill. |
Humid weather. | 1. Moderate humidity: Keep media as dry as possible. | |
| 2. | Moderate humidity: Use dryer or moisture separator. |
| 3. | High humidity: Avoid that period of use if possible. |
Overtaxed compressor. | 1. | Compressor too small. Use larger compressor or restrict |
|
| time used. |
| 2. | Nozzle size too large. Use smaller Nozzle. |
| 3. | Too many leaks in air compressor system. Seal and |
|
| tighten all leaks. |
| 4. | Holes in Abrasive Hose. Replace Hose. |
| 5. | Air filter on compressor plugged. Clean Filter. |
Lack of abrasive flow. | 1. Tank empty. Fill Tank. | |
| 2. | Moisture in media. Dry media. |
| 3. | Not enough air pressure. Increase air pressure. |
| 4. | Abrasive Hose kinked. Straighten Hose. |
| 5. | Excessive debris in media. Clean or filter media. |
