  • 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-150 is one tool you cannot be without.

  • Page 6: Safety Precautions And Warnings

    Your unit is equipped with an Arm/Disarm switch located in the center of the control panel. Under normal use, this switch acts as a convenient way to quickly interrupt power to your PHX-150. However, the true designated E-STOP is the full-flow valve (bright yellow with a red handle) located on the air system manifold under the control panel.
  • Page 7 Ergonomics The training process for using your new PHX-150 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

    Familiarize yourself with its’ contents before operating this equipment. CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY Since the PHX-150 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

    (pics 3, 4, 5) 4. Using the 1½” wrench, connect the remaining end of the blast hose to the front of the PHX-150. (pic 6) 5. Connect the two trigger lines to the unit, pushing firmly until seated. Failure to attach trigger lines will result in the non-functioning of the unit.

  • Page 12: 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 13: Setting The Panel Controls

    Applying Air to the Unit 1. Slowly open the main air supply valve (source). (pic1) 2. With the gun pointed in a safe direction, slowly open the E-Stop valve on the PHX-150. (pic 2) Pic 1 Pic 2 Setting the Panel Controls 1.

  • Page 14: Setting The Panel Controls

    4. Next set the blast pressure. Pull the ‘blast pressure’ knob outwards to unlock it. (pic 4) 5. Turn the knob clockwise until desired pressure is reached. The PHX-150 has a blast pressure range from 45 psi to 125 psi. Satisfactory results are generally achieved in the 80-100 psi range for most applications.

  • Page 15: Temporary Shutdown

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

  • Page 16: Overnight / Long Term Shutdown

    OVERNIGHT / LONG TERM SHUTDOWN 1. If you won’t be blasting again soon, release the trigger and wait for airflow to stop. (There is a short delay while residual ice is purged from the blast hose. Keep gun pointed at the target until air stops flowing!) (pic 1) 2.

  • Page 17: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-150 unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met! DAILY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Before starting 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 18: Emptying The Separator

    To perform this: 1. Locate the filter housing on inner leg of the PHX-150 near the trigger connectors. (pic1) 2. Disconnect the tubing from filter housing push fittings (both ends), then remove filter housing from unit.

  • Page 19: Changing / Adding 10W Oil

    Changing / Adding 10W Oil 1. Turn the lubricator retaining ring counter-clockwise by hand, then lower the bowl/housing away from suction wick. (pic 1) 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 21: Periodic Maintenance

    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-150. Also remove the gun and blast hose assembly if attached. (pic 1) 2.

  • Page 43: Tube Diagram / Factory Settings

    FACTORY SETTINGS There are two factory set and locked regulators on the PHX. 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. This allows the Airlock Motor and the purge air pressure to continue to run for a time period to clear the airlock and hose of ice.
