SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

User’s Guide Information

Dry ice cleaning equipment should not be operated without proper training and the
consent of your direct supervisor or management. The information contained in the
User’s Guide will provide all the tools necessary for proper operation, safety,
maintenance, and troubleshooting of the equipment. Read and understand the contents of
this guide before using or servicing your machine.

Equipment Usage

Your new cleaning system was designed for use in an industrial environment. Proper safety precautions
should be practiced, observed, and monitored at all times. Be especially careful when blasting around
materials that can shatter. Dry ice blasting adapts to many types of applications, but the high velocity
pellets can cause damage to fragile items or substrates of low integrity. Remember NEVER to direct the
blast stream at yourself or others.

Asphyxiation Hazard

Sublimation of dry ice creates CO2gas. This gas is 40% heavier than air, and thus
displaces oxygen in low-lying areas and enclosed spaces. When blasting, always have
adequate ventilation in and around your workspace. Contaminated compressed air (or
nitrogen) used as a propellant may greatly increase respiratory risk. A “High CO2”
sensor/monitor with indicators is a worthwhile investment and can help prevent
accidental asphyxiation.

Noise

Blasting equipment generates a high velocity air flow from the nozzle. This air flow creates friction as it
passes through normal static air, resulting in high decibel noise levels. Though these levels can be
controlled somewhat by altering pressures and flow rates, ear protection is required in all blasting
situations. Additional noise factors include the object being cleaned, distance from the targeted material,
media quantity being used (ice rate), and acoustic surroundings. If you are unsure about blasting in an area
around you or fellow co-workers, consult with your safety director for advice and/or safety parameters
before beginning work.

Page 6

Emergency Stop Mechanisms

Your unit is equipped with an Arm/Disarm switch located in the center of the control panel. Under normal
use, this switch acts as a convenient way to quickly interrupt power to your PHX-150. However, the true
designated E-STOP is the full-flow valve (bright yellow with a red handle) located on the air system
manifold under the control panel. This valve must be closed before attempting maintenance work or
repairs. A 5/16” hole is provided in the handle to accommodate your company lockout procedures, if
applicable. Raise the locking tab to re-open the valve.

Protective Gear

Before beginning work, make sure you have the proper protective gear for the job. This
includes the basics: Ear plugs or muffs (or both), eye protection, gloves, long sleeves,
long pants, and safety shoes. Dependant upon specialized cleaning jobs, you may also
need other protective items such as: self-contained breathing apparatus, respirator,
grounding straps, skin protectors, jumpsuit, special clothing, or other equipment as
deemed necessary by your company’s safety regulations.

**************************************************************************************************PPHHXX--115500*******************

*

Ergonomics

The training process for using your new PHX-150 is relatively easy, but there will still be a “learning
curve” where technique and experience is concerned. The operator should understand that high velocity air
exits the gun barrel. Upon triggering the gun, the operator will experience a small reactive thrust, which
increases or decreases depending on pressure settings and air flow. Operator fatigue may also be an issue,
relating to blasting angles, pressure settings, dwell times, work area, temperatures, physical conditioning,
and time on duty. Do not exceed allowable limits as set by company policy and safety personnel.

High Velocity Particles

High velocity particles exiting the gun may cause serious injury. Never aim the gun at
yourself or others. The ice is sometimes difficult to see in the blast stream. However,
never use your hand, foot, or any other body part to check pellet flow. Do not blast
delicate or fragile items or equipment parts (i.e. glass or plastic gauge faces). Damage
may occur.

Moving Parts

Though the moving parts inside your PHX-150 are minimal, they are critical components and serious injury
may occur if safety parameters are not adhered to. Your machine incorporates an auger that turns, feeding
dry ice pellets into the delivery system. A safety sensor is activated to immediately stop the auger from
turning anytime the pellet screen is removed. Do not attempt to override this sensor. The auger drive motor
and chain are shielded by a protective guard and should never be operated without the guard in place. Do
not attempt to operate the airlock assembly while detached from unit. Always follow shut-down procedures
before attempting any periodic maintenance or repairs.

Burn Hazard

Dry ice is extremely cold, -109°F (-78°C). Do not allow skin to directly contact dry ice or
the outside of the PHX-150 hopper while it is loaded with dry ice. Doing so may cause
severe deep tissue burns. Always wear heavy-duty insulated gloves and long sleeved
clothing for protection when handling dry ice or cold equipment during use.

Static Discharge

The gun of the PHX-150 is grounded through the blast hose to the frame, then through
the special conductive front wheels; therefore any significant amount of static discharge
is uncommon. Still, the possibility exists that minor static discharges can occur pending
weather conditions, the travel of high velocity ice particles, etc. If static discharge is
experienced, wear the grounding wrist strap supplied with your unit. Also, you may wish
to add an additional wire from the machine to a good earth ground, AND ground the item
that you are blasting.

Caution: Static discharge may ignite flammables. Be aware of your surroundings!

Lower Limit Blast Pressure

The PHX-150 utilizes an additional regulator that maintains the blast pressure at 45 psi, even though it is
turned all the way down. When conducting function tests while the unit is energized, take the necessary
precautions to insure that the blast gun is secured and pointed in a safe direction.

Logic Control Stored Air Hazard

The control circuitry of this machine may trap air in and between associated components. Vent unit before
any maintenance or service is performed to prevent accidental release of trapped air.

Lock Out/Tag Out Precaution

Do not perform any type of service to this equipment until all lock out/tag out procedures have been
followed according to your company’s safety regulation guidelines. As mentioned previously (page 6),
a lock out hole (5/16”) is provided in the E-Stop valve handle if required.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This User’s Guide is the best tool available during the initialization of your new PHX­150 Dry Ice Cleaning System. It contains all the information necessary for the proper
installation, safety, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting right at your fingertips.
Familiarize yourself with its’ contents before operating this equipment.

CONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY

Since the PHX-150 is an “all pneumatic” design, it is critical that only clean, dry air be
supplied to the unit. Air containing excess amounts of moisture, oil, rust, or other
contaminants may clog filters and damage the logic control and internal components. A
good desiccant or refrigerant dryer should be installed between your compressor and the
PHX-150. The dew point should not exceed +40°F/+4.4°C. Good air quality will save
you time for repairs and increase the life of the unit.

1. Install a 1” JIC/NPT male fitting into the supply inlet of the PHX-150. Be careful
with other types of common connectors as they often have gaskets or other restrictive
material, which prevent full air flow. This can drastically reduce your unit
performance level. (pic 1)

2. Install the whip check over the end of the 1” air supply hose. (pic 2)

3. Connect air supply hose to the JIC fitting and extend the whip check as far down the
hose as possible. (pic 3)

4. Wearing hearing protection, blow down the air source at the drop to remove any
accumulated moisture. This helps to insure equipment performance. (pic 4)

5. Connect the air supply hose to the air source. (pic 5)

Caution! Maximum air pressure supplied to the PHX-150 should never exceed 125 psi!

**************************************************************************************************PPHHXX--115500*****************

*

CONNECTING THE BLAST GUN

1. Use 1¼” and 1½” wrenches to connect the gun to the end of the blast hose with the

shorter length trigger lines. Do not over-tighten. (pic 1)

2. Connect the respective trigger lines (different sizes) to the gun, pushing firmly into the

quick-connect fittings. (pic 2)

3. Install the nozzle by a) twisting threaded retainer to completely ‘open’ position;

b) place nozzle into end of blast gun; c) tighten retainer to secure the nozzle. Improper
seating of the nozzle in the gun may result in air leakage. (pics 3, 4, 5)

4. Using the 1½” wrench, connect the remaining end of the blast hose to the front of the

PHX-150. (pic 6)

5. Connect the two trigger lines to the unit, pushing firmly until seated. Failure to attach

trigger lines will result in the non-functioning of the unit. (pic 7)

6. If necessary, ground the item you are blasting.

LOADING DRY ICE

1. Before you begin loading dry ice, it is important that you have the protective gear

previously mentioned in the “Safety Precautions and Warnings” section (page 6).
This includes basic items such as earplugs or muffs (or both), eye protection, face
shield, heavy-duty gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and safety shoes. (pic 1)

2. Lift hinged metal lid to expose hopper. BE AWARE OF AND KEEP CLEAR OF

PINCH POINTS (pic 2)

3. Use a sturdy scoop or similar device to load dry ice pellets into the hopper. (pic 3)

Be careful not to inhale concentrated CO2gas during the loading process, as it will
temporarily rob you of oxygen. If overexposed, get fresh air immediately. Signs
of overexposure include dizziness, cold sweats, headaches, nausea, and heavy
breathing.

4. Close the lid on the hopper. This will prevent airborne contaminants from

inadvertently falling through the pellet screen to the ice and ultimately ending up
on the surface you are cleaning or damaging internal airlock parts. (pic 4)

SETTING THE PANEL CONTROLS

Applying Air to the Unit

1. Slowly open the main air supply valve (source). (pic1)

2. With the gun pointed in a safe direction, slowly open the E-Stop valve on the

PHX-150. (pic 2)

Pic 2Pic 1

Setting the Panel Controls

1. Pull the ‘Ice Rate’ knob outwards to unlock it. (pic 1)

2. Turn the control clockwise until the gauge reaches the desired pressure. If unsure, start

at about 25 psi, then adjust the rate up or down as necessary for your particular blasting
application. (pic 2) Note: Trigger on gun must be pulled in order for gauge to read!

3. Push the knob in to lock the ice rate. (pic 3)

Pic 2Pic 1

**************************************************************************************************PPHHXX--115500*****************

*Page 13

SETTING THE PANEL CONTROLS (cont.)

4. Next set the blast pressure. Pull the ‘blast pressure’ knob outwards to unlock it. (pic 4)

5. Turn the knob clockwise until desired pressure is reached. The PHX-150 has a blast

pressure range from 45 psi to 125 psi. Satisfactory results are generally achieved in the
80-100 psi range for most applications. If you are unsure or concerned about damage to
the item being blasted, start at a lower blast pressure and increase it gradually until the
optimum performance level is achieved. (pic 5)

6. Push the knob in to lock the blast rate. (pic 6)

Note: The PHX-150 utilizes an additional regulator that maintains the blast pressure at
45 psi, even if the control panel knob is turned all the way down. This prevents “freeze­ups” in the airlock assembly, which will occur if ice continually feeds without
sufficient pressure to propel it to the gun.

7. Turn the Arm/Disarm switch clockwise to arm the PHX-150. The indicator will turn

green, and the momentary switch will return to the center position. (pic 7)

8. Point the gun at the target or in a safe direction. Push upwards on the safety catch to

release and pull the trigger to initialize blasting. (pic 8)

TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN

1. When blasting is complete, release the trigger and wait for airflow to stop. (There is a

short delay while residual ice is purged from the blast hose. Keep gun pointed at the
target until air stops flowing!) (pic 1)

2. Turn the Arm/Disarm switch counter-clockwise. The indicator will turn red, and the

momentary switch will return to the center position. (pic 2)

3. Close the air supply valve at the source. Important! Failure to disconnect the source

end of the air supply first may create potential “air entrapment” or “hose whip”
hazards! (pic 3)

4. Vent remaining air from the machine and supply hose by closing the

E-Stop valve approximately halfway. (pic 4)

5. After the air stops flowing, you may fully close the E-Stop valve. (pic 5)

6. If moving the unit to another location for blasting, disconnect the supply hose at the

source and wrap around the machine handle for quick transport. It is not necessary to
disconnect the hose from the unit unless storing overnight or long term. (pic 6)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-150
unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met!

DAILY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Before starting the machine each day/shift, a quick preventive maintenance inspection
should be performed to ensure that your unit operates problem-free now and in the future.

1. Check the separator sight glass for accumulated moisture or remove the canister to

inspect the filter for contamination. Clean canister if needed. (See page 18 for filter
replacement procedure). (pic 1)

2. Visually inspect lubricator to confirm fluid level is adequate. (pic 2)

3. Inspect hose assembly for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary. (pic 3)

Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3

AS NEEDED MAINTENANCE

Separator / Auto-Drain Leak Check

The PHX-150 features an “auto-drain” in the separator to relieve excess moisture during
normal use. The float mechanism should be securely in place with no air leakage under
pressure. To check:

1. Slowly open the main air supply valve. (pic 1)

2. Slowly open the E-Stop valve of the PHX-150. (pic 2)

3. Check for air leakage under pressure. If air is present, you may need to clean the auto-

drain or replace. Tighten the drain nut securely after replacement. (pic 3)

Changing the Separator Filter

To ensure that your dry ice cleaning system operates correctly and continues to provide
reliable performance levels, the separator needs to be inspected regularly. Poor filtering
leads to excessive moisture being passed into the control system, airlock, blast gun, and
ultimately to the targeted surface. A discolored filter element should be replaced. Follow
this simple procedure:

1. Press locking tab on separator canister and turn in either direction to disengage. (pic 1)

2. Lower the canister to expose filter element. (Empty any accumulated moisture in

canister before reinstalling). (pic 2)

3. Remove element retainer umbrella by turning counter-clockwise. (pic 3)

4. Remove old filter element, pulling straight down and away. (pic 4)

5. Install new element by reversing steps 1-4.

Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4

Changing the Inline Filter Element (Trigger Line)

If the unit is ready to blast (Arm/Disarm indicator is green), but does not start when the
trigger is pulled, it may indicate the need to change the trigger line inline filter element.
To perform this:

1. Locate the filter housing on inner leg of the PHX-150 near the trigger connectors. (pic1)

2. Disconnect the tubing from filter housing push fittings (both ends), then remove filter

housing from unit. (pic 2)

3. Using two ¾” wrenches, remove the cap from the filter housing to expose the sintered

bronze filter element. (pic 3)

4. Remove filter element. Important: Remember proper configuration of internal spring

in relation to the element. Improper installation will result in the non-operation of the
unit. (pic 4)

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Do not attempt to perform any maintenance or service on your PHX-150
unless safety guidelines and lock out/tag out procedures have been satisfactorily met!

Replacing Airlock Critical Components

Diminished performance or a noticeable drop in blast pressure at the gun may indicate a
worn or damaged component in the airlock. Most airlock problems are typically caused
by a foreign object (airborne or otherwise) falling through the hopper pellet screen,
mixing with the dry ice pellets, and becoming lodged inside the airlock or doing damage
as it passes through to the blast hose and gun. (Note: You can avoid unnecessary

expense and repairs by closing the hopper lid after filling with ice and prior to
blasting.) In order to properly inspect or replace the critical components, the airlock

assembly must be removed from the unit. To do this:

1. Remove air supply hose from the PHX-150. Also remove the gun and blast hose
assembly if attached. (pic 1)

2. To avoid spillage, remove the lubricator bowl/housing and set aside. (pic 2)

3. Carefully place the unit flat on the ground with the control panel facing down.

(pic 3). Be careful that hinged metal lid does not “flop” backwards suddenly during this

procedure.

4. Detach the inlet blast air hose coupling from airlock assembly inlet. (pic 4)

5. Remove the airlock motor air supply line from the push fitting. (pic 5)

6. Remove the large cotter pin from the airlock retaining latches. (pic 6)

the housing. If damaged, they must be replaced. (pic 15)

18. Remove the pads from the housing. (pic 16)

19. Inspect the O-rings on both pads. Replace if worn or damaged. Before installing new
O-rings (or re-using existing ones), apply a thin coat of Dow-Corning 33 lubricant.

(pic 17)

20. Make sure that O-rings are seated properly in the pads. (pic 18)

21. Carefully install the pads into the airlock housing. Fully installed, they will be flush
with the housing walls, with no part of the O-rings showing. (pic 19)

AIRLOCK MOTOR (P/N 50202-001) MAINTENANCE

Engine Lubrication- Be sure air lubricators are maintained as outlined in equipment

manual. If wet dirty air is being used, water, dirt, rust and emulsified oil can accumulate
in lubricator bowls, making it look like they are full of oil. A periodic “closer look” is
recommended and an oil change is recommended if it is contaminated with water.

Cleaning Engine- Water and rust in the compressed air or dust and wear particles can
cause sticking of vanes, valves etc. This can be prevented by removing muffler, flushing
with a few drops of oil, running the motor for 5-10 seconds and absorbing the oil in a
cloth. Replace or reinstall muffler. Protect the engine this way before long shutdown
periods. DO NOT RUN THE AIRLOCK FOR LONG PERIODS WITHOUT ICE.

Muffler-Over time the muffler can become clogged with particles and restrict exhaust
flow which will make the motor run slower. It is recommended to periodically replace the
muffler. (P/N 50203-001)

Maintenance and repairs must be carried out exclusively by authorized personnel.

Overhaul- To achieve the best service life under normal operating conditions, regular
overhaul and cleaning should be carried out every 12 months or 2000 hrs., whichever is
sooner. Overhaul should be carried out more frequently under more rigorous operating
conditions.

Lubrication- Planetary gears, ball and needle bearings and seal ring should be
lubricated with grease in conjunction with the regular overhaul of the motor. Molykote
BR2 Plus gives long intervals between lubrications.

Contact Phoenix Unlimited LLC or a qualified service center for motor overhaul options.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom Item Check Corrective Measure

The PHX-150 will
not start.

Air supply valve is not opened.

The unit is not armed (indicator will be

red).

Open the air supply valve (E-Stop valve).

Turn Arm/Disarm switch clockwise (indicator should
turn green).

The PHX-150 starts,
but no ice comes out.

Pellet screen is not properly installed.

Loose or kinked tubing in control panel.

Trigger lines improperly connected.

Trigger valve failure.

Inline filter plugged (trigger return line).

Contamination in the trigger lines.

There is no dry ice in the hopper.

Ice rate is set too low.

Possible ice bridging inside the hopper.

Water ice accumulation in hopper.

Make sure pellet screen fully engages safety interlock
switch when installed.

Check for loose or kinked tubes behind panel.
Reconnect if necessary.

Check trigger lines at machine and at the gun.

Check trigger valve for contamination. Clean or

replace as necessary. Correct cause of contamination.

Check filter and replace element if necessary.

Blow out trigger lines. Correct cause of contamination.

Load fresh dry ice into the hopper.

Turn Ice rate regulator clockwise to increase.

With pellet screen in place, use poker to break up the
bridge. This symptom is generally caused by poor ice
quality and high humidity areas.

Water ice forms in high humidity areas or when ice is
left in the hopper for long periods of time. Clean and
dry the hopper thoroughly before refilling.

Blast gun or hose plugged.

Incorrect auger rotation. (Auger should
turn counterclockwise when viewed from
the rear of the unit).

Airlock is not turning.

Decrease blast pressure to 45 psi. Remove blast hose
from unit. With trigger lines still attached, trigger the
unit to clear ice from the discharge outlet. Reattach
hose and remove nozzle from gun. Trigger again to
clear ice from hose and gun. Reattach nozzle.

Remove motor/chain guard and turn selector switch
on ratchet motor to reverse direction.

See section on “Airlock does not turn”- next page.

FACTORY SETTINGS

There are two factory set and locked regulators on the PHX. Problems can stem from these regulators
being out of adjustment.
There is also a speed control valve that controls the duration of the purge delay. This allows the Airlock
Motor and the purge air pressure to continue to run for a time period to clear the airlock and hose of ice.

Control Air Regulator
This regulator protects the entire control system. This setting is critical as the system needs 70-80 PSI,
and settings over 90 PSI can damage control system components. It is located on the right side of the air
system, mounted on the main filter regulator. This regulator has a built in gauge and should be set to 5.5
BAR (70-80 PSI).

Control Air Regulator
Set to 5.5 BAR (70-80 PSI)

Airlock Speed/Vibrator Strength/Purge Pilot Regulator
This regulator controls the RPM of the Airlock Motor, the vibrating force of the Vibrator and the Purge
Air Pilot pressure to the Filter/Regulator.
To check or set pressure,

1.Back off Blast Air Regulator all the way. {If locked, pull knob
to unlock. Turn counterclockwise until knob stops. Do not force
knob} Gauge will now show the pressure that controls the rpm of
the airlock motor, strength of the vibrator and blast hose purge
pressure. The gauge should read 40-45 PSI.

2.To adjust, pull Airlock Regulator knob to unlock, Observe
Blast Air Gauge and turn knob to adjust pressure to about 40–45
PSI. Push knob back in to lock.

Purge Delay Speed Controller
The factory setting of this delay is 3 seconds. This time period can be easily adjusted, as the Speed
Controller is readily accessible, located under the Control Shelf just to the left of the Lubricator.
To Adjust:

1.Locate Speed Controller knob, loosen knurled jam nut. 2. Adjust
knob. Turn valve in to increase delay or back valve out to shorten
the delay. 3. Cycle the trigger on and off. Repeat until purge cycle
stops 3 seconds after trigger is released. To lock setting, tighten the
jam nut. WARNING: If valve is closed completely the purge cycle

will not disengage.
