About the Machine The recovery RE-CO2 320V2 is especially designed to be connected with a Cold Jet Pelletizer or a line control unit. The machine can operate with different multiple pelletizer brands. This technology is the subject of Patent application No. 0408224.4.
Technical Data Voltage AC/ Frequency (EU 50Hz) 3 x 400 VAC/50Hz Voltage AC/ Frequency (US 60 Hz) 3 x 480 VAC/60Hz Average Power Consumption 50 kWh Rated Current (Imax) 85 A Dimensions without the buffer tank (L x W x H) 2718 x 1320 x 2259 mm (107 x 52 x 89 in.) Dimensions with the buffer tank (L x W x H) 2718 x 1320 x 3751 mm (107 x 52 x 147.7 in.)
SAFETY REGULATIONS General Measures The manual contains instructions for starting up, operating, and servicing the machine. The operator must follow all the instructions in this manual. The owner must make sure that the operator understands the contents of this manual and follows its guidelines and safety regulations.
Safety Labels The symbols used on the machine were developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and are defined below. These symbols may include yellow warnings triangles, blue mandatory action circles, or red prohibited action circles. Danger of Suffocation The recovery unit coverts gas CO to liquid CO in a closed system.
Page 9
Danger of Congelation The gaseous and liquid CO has a temperature down to -25° C (-13° F). The operator should be aware of the congestion with piping and elements inside the machine. Most pipes are insulated to keep the CO cold, but also work as safety protection.

Electrical shock Hazard When the main disconnect switch is in the ON position, the control panel is energized, and dangerous voltage is present internal ingress protection rating is at least IP2x/NEMA2. When the main disconnect switch is in the OFF position the line side of the switch remains energized. Wires that remain energized with the main disconnect switch in the OFF position are orange.
-10°C and 30°C. (14°F and 86°F). If the ambient temperature exceeds the interval -10°C and 30°C (14°F and 86°F) contact Cold Jet, as capacity will drop. For ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F), warm weather kits can be installed. This ensures the capacity ●...
The RE-CO is controlled from a HMI screen either in a connected pelletizer (Cold Jet PR350H or PR750H), a control box or a line control. The front of the electrical cabinet and the pressure gauge panel include the following functions.

Hardware The hardware subpage shows the hardware for the Recovery unit. The status is shown on the element with text and colour. Log & information The log is an production log, that shows, date, availability of the machine and availability of pelletizer barrels, production, apparent power, compressor load, pressor, and ambient temperature.
AUTOMATION Power supply and control protection system A voltage monitoring relay in the panel stops the recovery and lights up the electrical failure lamp on the panel. The relay switches off if the voltage is too low, the phases order is wrong, or a phase is missing. Pressure protection system.
STOPPING THE RECOVERY UNIT RE-CO Stopping without depressurizing the system. ● The Recovery and pelletizer can be stopped at any time. It is not advisable to switch off the power or use the emergency stop button without first emptying the Recovery of liquid CO ●...
ALARM MESSAGES Alarms will be shown on the HMI controlling the recovery unit. In the alarm list the action needed to be taken can be found. To access the alarm page press the alarm at the top, or by pressing the alarms bottom at the control panel to the right.
MAINTENANCE Accessing the equipment by unauthorized or untrained individuals can lead to physical injury or damage to property. The system consists of two separate sub-systems. The CO sub-system is cooled by R452A refrigerant. Due to the environmental impact of R452A, repair of the refrigeration parts must be conducted only by suitably trained, equipped and authorized personnel.
Cold Jet technician or by the owner’s qualified personnel who has been trained by Cold Jet in the repair and maintenance of Cold Jet dry ice blasting and dry ice production machines and accessories.
