- virtually anywhere that waste cannot be easily removed. • The BlastOne Vacuload Series 1 Vacuum system consists of a single cartridge pulse-jet dust collector, with a single eductor vacuum pump mounted on a skid with forklift channels. The integral dust cartridge traps airborne dust, with all waste falling into the easily removed waste drum.

1. Using a forklift, place the unit within the working distance of the vacuum hose and pickup tool. 2. Position the Interceptor Tank (if used) as close as possible to the Vacuload 1. 3. If an Interceptor is used, refer to the manual supplied for that item of equipment for set up information.
Page 12 VACUUMING BlastOne vacuum systems are designed to produce high vacuum and high air flow at the suction head. When vacuuming remember that it is air that is moving the material being vacuumed. Abrasives can be vacuumed vertically upwards and downwards just as easily as horizontally. Best results will be achieved by using plastic pipe (rather than hose) and keeping the pipe vertical to minimize friction against the wall of the pipe.
Page 13 SHUTDOWN SHUTDOWN WHEN VACUUMING IS COMPLETED FOR THE DAY: 1. Turn off air supply valve at the compressor (recommended). 2. Drain the moisture from the manifold using the drain ball valve. Leave the ball valve open until all air is expelled. 3.
Page 14: Fault Finding
FAULT FINDING FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Check all hose connections for leaks. Adjust Insufficient air at inlet density controller (on pickup tool) to allow more air flow. Clogged vacuum hose Straighten out hose. The radius of any hose Sharp bends in vacuum hose should be greater than 10 times it’s diameter.
Page 15 FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Check the nozzle to make sure it is High suction which Poor air/abrasive mixture in the not plugged with wet abrasive or any gradually diminishes pickup nozzle foreign object. Inaccurate gauge Check the gauge lines for breaks. This will cause the dust to cake on the filter preventing air from flowing Magnehelic gauge...
