1.5. PROTECT YOUR EYES. Do Not operate this equipment without wearing OSHA approved safety glasses. Observe all applicable local, state and federal safety regulations. See Section 3.9 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. The abrasive blast operation produces a dusty work environment which can leave dust that can be blown in the face and eyes of operators.
Page 10
1.8. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Do Not operate this equipment without wearing OSHA approved hearing protection. Observe all applicable local, state and federal safety regulations. See Section 3.9 and refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95. Loud noise is generated by the blast nozzle and the blowdown operation of this equipment. Wear OSHA approved hearing protection.
Page 11
1.17. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do Not operate this equipment in elevated areas without using fall protection equipment. Certain applications of this equipment may require the use of scaffolding. Use of scaffolding creates hazardous situations such as tripping and fall hazards which can result in serious injury or death to operating personnel.
Page 12
Do Not operate this equipment if the ASME pressure vessel nameplate is missing. Contact Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc. for technical support. 1.26. DO NOT MODIFY VESSEL. Do Not modify or alter this equipment, or any blast equipment, or controls thereof without written consent from Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc.
Page 13
Do Not sell, rent, or operate abrasive blasters without remote controls. OSHA regulations require remote controls on all abrasive blasters. All abrasive blasters must be equipped with automatic (deadman) type remote controls (either pneumatic or electric). Failure to use remote controls can cause serious injury or death to the operator(s) or other personnel in the blasting area.

accidental start up and result in injury to personnel. 1.40. NEVER USE ABRASIVE NOT INTENDED FOR BLAST EQUIPMENT. Do Not use abrasive blast media containing free silica. Silica can cause silicosis or other related respiratory damage. Verify that the abrasive is intended for use in blasting equipment. Personal protective equipment, including airline filters and respirators, must be used for all abrasive blasting operations.
burnout. Before starting the motor, follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Turn the fan by hand to eliminate possible motor burnout in the event the fan has been damaged in shipment. Observe operation after the motor has been started for the first time. 1.51.

Blast nozzle The primary air consumption in a blast system is by the blast nozzle. This usage can vary greatly depending upon the number of blast outlets, nozzle size of each outlet, and the blast pressure. The nozzle consumption and other usages must be evaluated for maximum operating efficiency of the AirPrep System.

purchase however, the motor can be rewired at installation. If the unit is to be rewired it may be necessary to change the motor starter and/or the thermal overload strips. Only a qualified electrician should install and/or make electrical changes to the AirPrep Systems. Power connections to AirPrep System with electric motors expose operators to high electrical voltages.
Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) requires the employer to assess the workplace to determine what PPE is necessary and supplied to each operator (Reference 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I). OSHA requires that this equipment meet or be equivalent to standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
supplied air from an air compressor which will then supply air to the blast nozzle. The abrasive blast stream through the blast nozzle is used for removing rust, paint, or other unwanted surface defects. After abrasive blasting, the surface is ready for new paint or coating. The AirPrep System is one of a group of components used in an abrasive blasting job.

equipment. The system removes moisture and contaminants that shorten the life of equipment controls and decrease blasting efficiency. Compressed air enters the AirPrep System at the pre-filter (#4) which filters trash and condensed moisture from the incoming air. The air flow then enters the aftercooler radiator (#8) where the flow is passed through a heat exchanger.

Valve, fitting, and/or hose rupture can cause serious injury or death. Do Not install or connect any valves, fittings or hoses that are not rated for a minimum 150 psi operating pressure. Pre-filter Compressed air enters the system through the air inlet pre-filter (#4) (the maximum inlet pressure should not exceed 150 psi).

The Air Prep System is a Pressurized Vessel. Propelled objects will cause serious injury or death. Depressurize vessel before performing any maintenance. See Section 6.2. Figure 5.1 – Typical AirPrep Dryer System 5.11 Depressurize (Blowdown) The drain ball valve (#19) is used to release all the compressed air (depressurize) from inside the AirPrep System separator tank (#20).
5.13 AirPrep System Air Outlets The AirPrep System air outlets are located on the after-filter (#5). There are (3) three outlet ports, (1) one the same size as the aftercooler piping size and (2) two 1" auxiliary ports (see Section 2.7). The ADS 250 has only (1) one 1-1/4" air outlet. There are no fittings or ball valves provided with the outlets.
