1-7D General 3.1 Operative range The ISPC Blastrac/EBE blast cleaning machine 1-7D is a downward blasting machine with a closed abrasive circuit designed for the pre- treatment of horizontal surfaces. The bouncing impact of metallic abrasive onto the surface to be treated thoroughly removes surface contaminants, coats of paint, sealants and thin coatings.
1-7D Operating Instructions General 3.3 Description 1-7D Fig. 3.1 Blast housing Sealing Separator Control cage Steering handle 10 Swivel castors Electric cable 11 Toothed washer Abrasive control handle 12 Blast wheel motor Limit switch 13 Control lever Wheels Like many revolutionary inventions the blast wheel method is based on a simple principle: after mechanical pre-acceleration the abrasive is thrown onto the surface at high speed by the blast wheel.
Operating Instructions 1-7D General 3.4 Operating elements The abrasive control handle is located on the machine handle and regulates the magnetic valve to control the flow of abrasive towards the blast wheel. The valve is hand-operated and can be set to each amount of abrasive throughput by changing the handle position.
Page 20
1-7D Operating Instructions General 3.5 Blast wheel The heart of the blast cleaning machine is the blast wheel which throws the abrasive onto the surface to be cleaned by using centrifugal force. The blast wheel is placed in a protective housing lined with replaceable wear plates.
Operating Instructions 1-7D General 3.6 Separator The abrasive separator is mounted to the end of the rebound plenum. It separates the abrasive from contaminants and feeds the cleaned abrasive back to the abrasive circuit. Fig. 3.4 Separator Separator seal Separator clamp A wire mesh is fitted to prevent any coarse contaminants from getting into the blast wheel.
1-7D Operating Instructions General 3.7 Abrasive valve Between the abrasive storage hopper and the feed spout there is a valve incorporating a permanent magnet in order to control the abrasive flow towards the blast wheel. Any change in the opening of the magnetic valve causes the amount of abrasive fed to the blast wheel to change.
Operating Instructions 1-7D General 3.8 Abrasive sealing Magnetic seals are fitted to the front and the sides of the blast housing outlet. The blast head is surrounded by brush seals. The seals are employed to seal the blasting area in a way to avoid leakage of any abrasive.
Operating Instructions General 3.9 Abrasive media In order to operate the ISPC Blastrac/EBE machine 1-7D you need hardened, spherical abrasive. The machine 1-7D has been especially designed to be operated with ISPC Blastrac/EBE abrasive. The ISPC Blastrac/EBE abrasive is of very high quality and owns the rebouncing ability required for the efficient use of model 1-7D.
Page 25
Operating Instructions 1-7D General Selection of abrasive Media No. 2: Applications: creates fine profiles, e.g. on vacuum concrete and non-glazed tiles removes thin layers of paint Is often used when the surface is only subsequently sealed. Media No. 3: Applications:...
1-7D Operating Instructions General The effectiveness of the 1-7D depends on the rebound effect which ensures that the abrasive can be re-used. Please take into account that the use of incorrect abrasive increases wear. Our service engineers have the experience to select the appropriate abrasive for the individual cases of application.

1-7D Transport 4.1 General notes Before the machine is used for the first time, ISPC Blastrac/EBE authorised dealers offer a course to familiarise maintenance and operating personnel with all elements of the machine. We are not liable for damage caused by incorrect use of the machine by personnel not trained by ISPC Blastrac/EBE.
Page 29
1-7D Operating Instructions Transport 4.3 Operation conditions Check the surface to be treated for loose parts (stones, screws, etc.). The surface must be swept if necessary. Make sure that the machine can travel over all inequalities on the surface. Small inequalities like weld seams or floor joints are no barriers for the machine.

1-7D Operation 6.1 Daily operation Normal start-up and operation of the blast machine 1-7D is no different from the procedure described in Chapter 5 "Initial operation". Carry out blasting in parallel tracks in such a way that the dust hose and electric cable do not become twisted.
Page 38
1-7D Operating Instructions Operation 6.3 Recommended blast paths Position the filter unit near to a power supply connection. Place the blast cleaning machine near to the filter unit and spread out the hose as shown in fig. 6.1. Work with the blast cleaning machine, with the hose spread out in the opposite direction, repeating the process away from the filter unit.
Page 39
To avoid unintended switching on of the machine, lock the valve lever with the plunger! Fig. 6.2 When the ISPC Blastrac/EBE blast cleaning machine is put out of operation for a longer period of time, pull out the mains plug and cover the machine with a plastic foil.
Page 40
1-7D Operating Instructions Operation 6.6 Safety shutdown The machine must be put to its safety off position before starting repair works. See Chapter 2 “Safety instructions”. 6.7 Restarting after a fault See Chapter 5 “Initial operation“. All persons in the proximity of the machine when in operation, must wear safety glasses with lateral protection as well as safety shoes.
