This manual should be regarded as part of the product and must be retained for the life of the
machine. The manual must be passed to any subsequent owners of the machine.
Any amendments should be attached to the original manual. Machine identification and serial number
can be found on the identification plate fixed to the machine body.
1.1 Safety recommendations
Users of Guyson equipment are advised to make sure they have identified any hazards associated
with their specific blasting processes, including:
Use of compressed air
Fire/explosion risks, e.g. Aluminium dust
Suitable procedures for dealing with fire hazards
Production of carcinogenic or toxic dusts from media or component surface removal
Any other known hazards
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have implemented any current regulatory requirements,
e.g. COSHH, to deal with any potential risks and/or hazards associated with their processes.
ATEX ZONE DESIGNATION
The ATEX Directives 2014/34/EU (product requirements) and 99/92/EC (user requirements) are
implemented by the Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in potentially explosive
Atmospheres Regulations 1996 (EPS and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere
Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) respectively.
We are able to provide equipment that is suitable for use in a hazardous area, and/or equipment that
is suitable for use when a hazardous area is created within a system, but it is the end users’
responsibility to classify the area in which the equipment is to be used and/or the explosivity of any
internal atmosphere created within the system. This is defined in Section 2, Article 3 to 9 of the
99/92/EC Directive (ATEX 137).
Unless we have been advised otherwise, we have to assume that the equipment will be used in an
area that is not classified as potentially explosive, and uses a process which will not create an
explosive atmosphere within the equipment.

The air supply should be from a manual shut-off valve that will exhaust down-stream air and be clean,
dry and oil-free.
The machine requires a compressed air supply at a maximum of 6.0 bar (90 psi) at the filter inlet and
pipework of adequate diameter to provide the flow rate required (see air consumption tables). The
minimum recommended bore for the compressed air line is 1” and it connects to a 1/2” BSP thread.
Take care that any jointing material (e.g. PTFE tape) does not enter the pipework.

Do not open the air supply at this stage
Switch on main electrical power supply
Switch on cabinet light
Start the dust collector:
o The direction of the impellor motor should be checked visually against the arrow on
the motor. If rotation is in the wrong direction, then on a 3 phase motor two of the
input phase lines should be changed over. Guyson International should be contacted
for more info if it is a single phase motor.
NOTE: Air will flow from the outlet even if the fan rotation is wrong, but only at a low
level, so rotation must be checked visually.
The best way to do this task is by starting then stopping the dust collector and watch
the fan as it slows down.

5. Machine settings
5.1 Blast settings
The blast settings should be set in the order they appear in the following sections.
5.1.1 Blasting pressure
Air pressure controls the speed at which the blast media leaves the nozzle. Blasting speed increases
at higher pressures and shortens operation time. Never use a higher blast pressure than necessary to
achieve the finish required.
Higher pressure air is less economical
It may distort or damage components
Greater media breakdown means higher media consumption

Pick-up tube
O-ring is used to mark position of
the pick up tube in the mixer box.
This allows the tube to be
reinserted at the same position.
5.1.2 Media pick-up tubes
The setting of the pick-up tube in the media box has a significant effect on the blasting performance.
Adjustment varies with the media density, with denser media requiring more air to circulate it.
The greater the flow of media from the mixer box to the blast gun, the higher the rate of wear on
media hose, blast nozzle.
Check that there is a supply of free-flowing, dry media to the mixer box
With compressed air flowing through the blast gun gradually move the pick-up tube into the
mixer box with the chamfer facing upwards while a colleague watches the media flow from the
nozzle.
The pick-up tube is in the right position when you are just able to see the media stream
leaving the nozzle. If the media stream is intermittent then the pick-up tube has been pushed
too far in.
o Moving the pick-up tube out decreases media flow
o Moving the pick-up tube in increases media flow
Lock the pick-up tube in place with the retaining screw
Further adjustment should not be needed whilst using the same media

5.1.3 Stand-off distance
This is the distance of the gun nozzle from the component. The stand-off distance should not normally
be reduced below 50 mm as media from the nozzle will be deflected or slowed down by media
ricocheting from the surface being blasted.
The impact of the media can be affected by the stand-off distance and the air pressure. The type of
media will influence this but a larger blast area may be achieved by increasing both the stand-off
distance and the blast air pressure.
5.1.4 Angle of blasting
The optimum angle for blasting for surface finishing is between 90 and 60 degrees to the horizontal.
Shallower angles can cause surface damage or compromise material properties. Shallower angles
than this can be used for deposit removal where the surface finish is not critical and with softer media.
Blast guns should be angled to minimise interference between the outputs from different guns. This
will avoid disrupting the speed and direction of media between nozzle and component.
Always position guns pointing away from any cabinet openings; this minimises the risk of media being
blasted out of the cabinet.
5.2 Extraction settings
5.2.1 Dust collector
The air-flow must be sufficient to create a slight negative pressure inside the cabinet to prevent dust
from blowing out. The airspeed must also be high enough to carry the blast media and dust out of the
cabinet and up the extraction hose to the inlet of the cyclone. This varies with the size and weight of
blast media.
The suction in the dust collector should be such that a minimum amount of media is transferred into
the dust collection system.
This is altered with the damper/blast gate on the dust collector outlet/inlet:
Opening the damper/blast gate increases the suction
Closing the damper/blast gate reduces the suction.
When setting the dampers/blast gates always keep the extraction air-flow to the minimum needed to
avoid pressurisation of the cabinet during blasting. Over time the filters in the dust collector will
become clogged with dust, and an increased air-flow may be necessary between filter changes and
maintenance. In systems with a cyclone the extraction should be set so that a minimum amount of
media is transferred into the dust collection system.
Always check the waste bin for good media when adjusting any settings.

41 Dust collector
Air flow is controlled by the slide damper on the
exhaust outlet on the dust collector.
C400 Dust collector
Air flow is controlled by the slide damper on the
exhaust outlet on the dust collector.
C400, C600 and C800 Dust collector
Air flow is controlled by the blast gate on the inlet to
the dust collector.
A blast gate will be fitted to the C400 if a cyclone is
being used.
The dust collector must be started before and stopped after the cyclone unit (if fitted) in order to clear
the system of dust after the blasting operation.
The dust collector should be checked to see how much reusable media has been transferred and the
settings adjusted accordingly.
Never try to extract reusable media for reuse in the machine.
On a C800 it is essential that a plastic bin liner (Y1CA0047) is used. It provides a simple and
clean means of removing and disposing of the dust, but its use requires balancing the pressure either
side of the bag to prevent it being drawn up into the hopper. This is achieved by the use of the bin
balance pipe so that the same negative pressure is applied to the outside of the bag as the inside.
If a bin liner is not used then dust will be drawn up through the bin balance pipe into the clean side of
the dust collector.

5.2.2 Cyclone
If after adjusting the dust collector damper good media is still being drawn into the dust collector, it
may be necessary to adjust the cyclone vortex as well.
To test the position of vortex; first clean the dust collector waste bin. Operate the blast process for 10
minutes and then look inside the dust collector waste bin. A large quantity of usable blast media in the
waste bin indicates the vortex needs adjusting to reduce carry over. The absence of any dust at all
indicates the vortex needs adjustment to separate the dust which may be retained within the media
hopper.
A short vortex will usually draw more dust out of the cyclone than a long vortex. Each process may
need a different vortex setting, with best results being achieved by trial.
To adjust the length of the vortex in a motorized cyclone:
Switch off the cyclone then the dust collector
Open the access panel
Slacken the tensioning clip around the vortex
sleeve
Slide the sleeve up or down as required
Replace and secure the tensioning clip and
close the access panel
To adjust the length of the vortex on a non-motorized
cyclone:
Switch off the cyclone then the dust collector
Open the access panel
Release the thumb-screw securing the vortex
adjusting rod at the top of the cyclone exit
elbow.
By means of the knob attached to the adjusting
rod, slide the rod up or down as required to
decrease or increase respectively the length of
the vortex.
Secure the thumb-screw when the adjusting rod
is in the desired position.
Close the access panel
NOTE: The position of the vortex can be viewed by opening the top access door during the
adjustment procedure.

As a further aid to the separation of good media from dust and fines there is an adjustable airflow
separation control disc mounted on the top of the filler chute flap on a CY600 or an air-flow separation
control band around the body of the 75/16 cyclone.
This disc/band has slots cut in it which coincide with holes in the filler chute flap/cyclone body itself.
When all the holes are lined up, air is permitted to enter the cyclone increasing the amount of air
available for extraction to the dust collector. In turn this reduces the velocity of the exhaust air and
permits media to fall out of the airstream more easily. This is particularly beneficial with light media
(such as plastics) where the individual granules do not have sufficient mass to drop out of a moving
airstream.
Where it is not necessary or not required to increase the velocity of the exhaust airstream the
separator disc/band should be rotated so that the holes in the disc/band do not line up with the holes
in the filler chute flap/cyclone body; this will inhibit the entry of any extra air by this route and hence
leave the characteristics of the air-flow unchanged.
It must be remembered that the air-flow separation disc/band is adjustable to give all permutations
between fully open and fully closed; this provides the operator with a wide range of adjustment to suit
individual situations. However, it is also important to remember that there is no firm rule concerning
the use of this disc/band and the best results will be achieved by trial and error.
Once the cyclone has been set for a particular application, it should not require adjustment. Any loss
of visibility or a failure to remove sufficient dust may be caused by blocked breather pads or choked
dust collector filters.
To maximize operation, each different blasting operation will need the settings checking for best
blasting performance.

ENSURE ALL AIR SUPPLIES ARE TURNED OFF AND THE SYSTEM IS
FULLY EXHAUSTED BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE
THE DUST COLLECTOR SHOULD BE FULLY ISOLATED BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. A LOCK-OUT AND TAG PROCEDURE
SHOULD BE IN PLACE TO PREVENT THE MACHINE FROM BEING
STARTED PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF MAINTENANCE.
PPE: GUYSON RECOMMENDS THAT AS A MINIMUM, OPERATIVES
SHOULD USE A DUST MASK AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE OF ANY SORT.
REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA
SHEET OF THE MEDIA BEING USED FOR ANY SPECIFIC PPE REQUIRED.
7. Maintenance
Blast machines are subject to wear. The rate of wear is determined by:
The speed of media passing over the component surface
The proportion of media to air exiting the blast nozzle
The angle of contact with component surface
Component material
Media coarseness and type used
The wear can be minimised by regular maintenance and monitoring settings particularly those
effecting localised wear.
The frequency of any maintenance and the replacement of parts are determined by the amount of
use, type of media used and the operating conditions. Maintenance intervals will be determined by
experience of machine-use over time. The following schedule is recommended for an initial trial
period until wear patterns are established.

The pictures below show extremely worn nozzles. Your nozzle should not be
allowed to reach this state as it will decrease its blasting effectiveness and may also
damage the blast gun.
Inspect the blast nozzle for wear. When the bore size has increased by 20% (6mm bore
@ 20% = 7.2mm) then the nozzle needs to be replaced. The effective bore of a nozzle
can be quickly checked by use of a twist drill bit.
The nozzle should be withdrawn from the gun body after 8 hours blasting and rotated by
5° to avoid uneven wear.

MAY BE HEAVY
41 Dust collector
This bin is held in by clips on both sides of the dust
collector. Release these to remove the bin from the
dust collector.
C400 Dust collector
This bin is compressed against the filter chamber of
the dust collector by a lifter cam. To lower the bin,
use the handle on the side. Then slide the bin out.
C600 and C800 Dust collector
This bin is compressed against the filter chamber of
the dust collector by a lifter cam. To lower the bin;
use the lever on the side. Then slide the bin out.
It is essential that a plastic bin liner (Y1CA0047)
is used.
If a bin liner is not used then dust will be drawn up
into the clean side of the dust collector.
HE Cyclone waste bin
This bin is compressed against the filter chamber of
the dust collector by a lifter cam. To lower the bin;
use the lever on the side. Then slide the bin out.
The bin is also raised so a suitable lifting
mechanism can be used to move the bin.
7.1.8 Empty waste bin
The dust collector bins should be emptied twice daily. They should also be checked for good media. If
this is present then the dust collector/cyclone settings will need adjusting.

41 Dust collector
The filter cleaning system is manual. Pull and push
the knob back and forth to shake the filter clean.
C400 and C600 Dust collector
The filter cleaning system is manual. Push the
button to release the compressed air from the
pressure vessel to knock the dust from the filter.
C800 Dust collector
This has an automatic filter cleaning system. A
controller automatically releases compressed air
from the pressure vessel to knock the dust from the
filters.
The release interval is set to 30 secs in the factory.
See appendix for controller manual.
7.1.9 Topping up media
Top up the media levels as required as media is consumed. This can be roughly gauged from the
waste bin on the dust collector. Regular additions of small quantities of media maintain an even
particle size and assist in producing consistent results.
7.1.10 Filter cleaning
Filter cleaning must be carried out on a regular basis. Initially this should be carried out every four
hours, until a working pattern is reached. The table below shows the different cleaning mechanisms
on the various dust collector models:

C400, C600 and C800 dust collectors are fitted as standard with differential pressure gauges. These
measure the differential pressure across the main filter(s). When the pressure difference reaches 5”
Water Gauge then a filter change will be necessary. The HEPA 14 filter (where fitted) has a separate
gauge. When this reaches 2.5” Water Gauge then a filter change will become necessary. See
sections 7.1.10.4 and 7.1.10.5 for details.
The 41 dust collector does not come fitted with differential pressure gauges as standard. Hosetails
are fitted as standard allowing an aftermarket differential pressure gauge (E1AA1836) to be used.
On a 41 dust collector, after approximately five hundred hours use the dust will have worked its way
into the body of the filters and cleaning with the cleaning mechanism will no longer clean sufficiently to
allow enough air through. This will be evident by poor visibility in the cabinet and/or failure to extract
the dust even with the dust collector damper fully open. A filter change will be necessary at this point.

7.1.10.7 Bin Balance Breather Sock
When changing the filter cartridges on a dust collector fitted with a bin
balance pipe, check that the filter sock is in place and not full of media.
The filter sock is attached to the end of the bin balance pipe and is
there to prevent dust from being drawn into the clean side of the dust
collector.
If a plastic bin liner has not been used then dust will be drawn up the
bin balance pipe into the sock.
It is essential therefore that a plastic bin liner is always used.
Check that the sock is firmly attached and not full of dust. The sock
prevents dust from contaminating the clean side, as dust will be drawn
out of the dust collector bin if a plastic bin liner is not used.

Single phase supply
Three phase supply
10.2.1 Electrical installation of dust collectors and cyclones
Guyson dust collectors and motorised cyclones (whether for single or three phase supplies), when
supplied to complement blast cabinets, are fitted with starters. These should be wired from the
customer’s switched fused isolator.
The starter needs to be wired up by a suitably qualified electrician; electrical schematics for the single
and three phase systems are attached.
The supply required can be discovered from reading this chart:
* Fuses should be sized to comply with full load current. When sizing fuses, smallest fuse rating
should be used to suit motor and starting characteristics.

If the yellow indicator is visible
where the arrow points to, the
blue reset button needs to be
pressed. If the Dust Collector is
still not functional, readjust the
trip setting up slightly.
If the problem persists, contact
Guyson International.
On both single and three phase motors it
is essential to check that the direction of
rotation matches the arrow attached to
the motor housing. This is best done
visually. If the motor is rotating in the
wrong direction, it will be necessary to
switch off the machine, isolate the
electric supply and reverse the position
of L1 and L2 on single phase machines
or any TWO of the feed wires (L1, L2 or
L3) on three phase machines.
If a problem occurs with installation then Guyson International should be contacted to provide support.
