  • Page 5: Introduction

    Once you are comfortable with the information provided, you will be ready to say goodbye to old-fashioned methods of cleaning and begin using your new dry ice blaster. With proper equipment care, you will soon see that the PHX-200 is one tool you cannot be without.

  • Page 6: Safety Precautions And Warnings

    Emergency Stop Mechanism and other ways to stop blaster in Emergency The PHX-200 is equipped with a Mushroom Head Emergency Stop Button. Pushing this button will stop the unit immediately, requiring reset sequence to rearm the gun trigger.

  • Page 7: High Velocity Particles

    Ergonomics The training process for using your new PHX-200 is relatively easy, but there will still be a “learning curve” where technique and experience is concerned. The operator should understand that high velocity air exits the gun barrel. Upon triggering the gun, the operator will experience a small reactive thrust, which increases or decreases depending on pressure settings and air flow.

  • Page 10: Operation Instructions

    CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY Since the PHX-200 is an “all pneumatic” design, it is critical that only clean, dry air be supplied to the unit. Air containing excess amounts of moisture, oil, rust, or other contaminants may clog filters and damage the logic control and internal components.

  • Page 11: Connecting The Blast Gun

    CONNECTING THE BLAST GUN 1. Use 1¼” and 1½” wrenches to connect the gun to the end of the blast hose with the shorter length trigger lines. Do not over-tighten. (pic 1) 2. Connect the respective trigger lines (different sizes) to the gun, pushing firmly into the quick- connect fittings.

  • Page 12: Pre-Start Up Checks

    PRE-START UP CHECKS CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-200 unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met! Before pressurizing the machine each day/shift, a quick preventive maintenance inspection should be performed to ensure that your unit operates problem-free now and in the future.

  • Page 13: Loading Dry Ice

    LOADING DRY ICE 1. Before you begin loading dry ice, it is important that you have the protective gear previously mentioned in the “Safety Precautions and Warnings” section (page 6). This includes basic items such as earplugs or muffs (or both), eye protection, face shield, heavy-duty gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and safety shoes.

  • Page 14: Applying Air To Unit

    3. Tighten jam nut to lock the blast air pressure. Note: The PHX-200 is factory set to purge air and ice 3 seconds at 45 PSI after trigger is released to clear the airlock and hose and prevent any clogging on the next trigger pull.

  • Page 15: Arming/Disarming

    Always Disarm when not blasting, especially when gun is unattended. WARNING: If trigger is engaged when arming, the unit will start blasting immediately! (NOTE: The PHX-200 will not arm if the E-STOP button is depressed, safety screen is removed, or trigger supply line is disconnected.) 1.

  • Page 16: Stop Blasting

    STOP BLASTING There are a few different ways to stop the blasting cycle. The PHX-200 reacts differently to each method. They are as follows: 1. Normal Stop: (pic 1) Under normal circumstances the way to stop blasting is to simply release the trigger. This will stop the auger and blast air.

  • Page 17: Shut Down

    SHUT DOWN 1. When blasting is complete, release the trigger and wait for airflow to stop. (There is a short delay while residual ice is purged at 45 PSI from the blast hose. Keep gun pointed at the target until air stops flowing! (Pic 1) 2.

  • Page 18: Daily Preventive Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-200 unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met! DAILY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Before pressurizing the machine each day/shift, a quick preventive maintenance inspection should be performed to ensure that your unit operates problem-free now and in the future.

  • Page 19: Adding Oil

    There are two lubricators on the PHX-200. One is for the Auger Motor located below the control panel, and the other is for the Airlock Motor and Hopper Vibrator located on the opposite side of the machine above the Blast Hose Connection.

  • Page 20: Main Filter Inspection And Replacement

    MAIN FILTER/SEPARATOR INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-200 unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met! To ensure that your dry ice cleaning system operates correctly and continues to provide reliable performance levels, the separator needs to be inspected regularly.

  • Page 21: Trigger Line Filter And Blast Air Pilot Filter

    Trigger Line Filter element. To perform this: 1. Locate the filter housing on inner leg of the PHX-200 near the airlock motor. (pic1) 2. Disconnect the tubing from filter housing push fittings (both ends), then remove filter housing from unit.

  • Page 22: Periodic Maintenance

    PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-200 unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met! AUGER DRIVE CHAIN Over time, the stainless steel drive chain may stretch; it is recommended that the drive chain tension be checked after every few months.
  • Page 23 Checking / Adjusting the Drive Chain Tension (cont.) 1. Use a 7/16” box wrench to loosen the adjustment screw retaining nut by turning counter- clockwise. (pic 7) 2. Hold the retaining nut in position and use a 3/16” hex key wrench to adjust the screw (clockwise to increase tension, counter-clockwise to relieve) until proper tension is achieved.
  • Page 24 In order to properly inspect or replace the critical components, the airlock assembly must be removed from the unit. To do this: 1. Remove air supply hose from the PHX-200. Also remove the gun and blast hose assembly if attached. (pic 1) 2.

  • Page 28: Factory Settings

    FACTORY SETTINGS There are two factory set and locked regulators on the PHX. They are not readily accessible, so the chance of someone randomly changing their settings is low. However, if problems arise they should be checked. Many problems can stem from these regulators being out of adjustment. There is also a speed control valve that controls the duration of the purge delay.
  • Page 29 FACTORY SETTINGS (continued) Airlock Speed/Vibrator Stength/Purge Pilot Regulator This regulator controls the RPM of the Airlock Motor, the vibrating force of the vibrator and the Purge Air Pilot pressure to the Filter/Regulator. This setting is critical as these systems are balanced to run off the same pressure setting.

Be sure hopper lid is always closed to prevent any foreign material from entering blast system.
  • Page 35 Test for Control Valve If no then the problem is in the Yellow tube Problem #2 manifold. Check for leaks, blockage or kinks. Does the control valve get a signal? If yes this will indicate a problem with the Control Valve CV-2, go to next test. Remove Yellow tube from Auger Control Valve CV-2.
