Manual
1. Introduction
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.

3.2.1 Compressed air connections

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 3/4” BSP thread.
Connect the main compressed air supply to the pneumatic isolator valve.
Take care that any jointing material (e.g. PTFE tape) does not enter the pipework.

4. Testing installation
4.1 Testing installation procedure
After completing all the connections the cabinet operation should be checked.
Do not add media at this stage
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 information 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.
On a 41 dust collector the motor is inside. The

front cover must be removed to see the top of
the motor.
On a C400 dust collector the motor is on the

outside and can be easily checked.

4.2 Media levels

The media should be added to the pressure pot either via the 75/16 cyclones upper door or the
CY600 cyclones filler chute. ¼ - ¾ of a 25kg bag of media should suffice.
NOTE: If a HE cyclone is fitted, media should be added to the cabinet hopper.
4.2.1 Adding media to 75/16 cyclone

• Turn off the dust collector
• Turn off the cyclone
• Open the upper cyclone door
• Pour media into the cyclone
• Close the door
• Turn the dust collector on
• Turn the cyclone on
The upper door should always be used so the media

can pass through the sieve before it gets to the mixer
box.
4.2.2 Adding media to CY600 cyclone

• Turn off the dust collector
• Turn off the cyclone
• Open the filler chute flap
• Pour media into the cyclone
• Close the filler chute flap
• Turn the dust collector on
• Turn the cyclone on

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
• Noise increases
Adjust the blast gun pressure

using the control knob on the main
air inlet filter. The gauge shows the
set pressure.

Operation &
Maintenance
Manual
5.1.2 Media control valve

This operation will be greatly eased by the assistance of a second operative.
Note: The greater the flow of media from the media flow control valve to the blast nozzle, the
higher the rate of wear of all wear parts especially media hose, blast nozzle and exhaust wear
plates.
The media flow from the base of the pressure pot to the nozzle is controlled by the hand wheel on the
bottom of the pot. This operates a valve between the pressure pot outlet and the Y branch in the main
air pipe. This media flow control (or grit) valve should be gradually opened while the foot pedal is
depressed until a steady stream of media is coming from the nozzle.
Do not open the media valve more than is necessary for a steady flow of media from the nozzle:
excessive media in the media hose will cause erratic and intermittent flow of media to the nozzle.
Media flow control valve Nozzle ball valve
In certain circumstances, for instance with lightweight media, it can be difficult to achieve the desired
media flow at any position of the media valve from fully open to fully closed. This is because the
media in the pressure pot is not liquidised preventing media from flowing through the media control
valve. An adjustment of the airflow is therefore necessary.
The nozzle ball valve controls the air flow balance. By default the ball valve should be fully open. To
make more air flow through the pressure pot, to liquidise the media, close the ball valve slightly. This
resetting of the ball valve upstream of the media valve means that less air is flowing down the main
air hose and more air is flowing into the pressure pot which in turn liquidises the media causing the
media to flow (see figure 1).
Once media flow is achieved by the gradual closing of the nozzle ball valve then the media valve
should be adjusted to even out the flow. Small adjustments of both valves may thus be needed to
achieve optimum performance.

Operation &
Maintenance
Manual
Figure 1: Media flow adjustment
Note:
LEAN FLOW IS ALWAYS BEST. As the media enters the airstream it causes the airflow to slow
down. Too much media makes the process less effective.
Once set to its optimum position it should not require further adjustment whilst using the same blast
media.

Operation &
Maintenance
Manual
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.
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 the 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.

Operation &

Manual
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.

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.
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

After approximately five hundred hours use the dust will have worked its way into the body of the filter
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.
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

7.2.6 Media flow control valve

The media flow control valve (P4VL0174) is a sliding gate valve which regulates the flow of the media
by altering the size of the orifice through which the media passes. The sliding gate is subjected to a
continuous flow of media through it and hence it is being constantly eroded by the abrasive action of
the media. The wear rate is dependent on the type and grain size of media in use and the air pressure
within the pot. Regular inspection is necessary to ensure that the failure of the sliding gate does not
lead to the destruction of the valve outer casing.

7.3.2 Ball valve

The ball valve is the main air control valve and is subjected to compressed air at a high pressure and
is the only control of it. Consequently it can wear internally. Also, if the pressure pot is overfilled with
blast media, blast media can, in extreme cases, be passed backwards through the ball valve from the
interior of the pressure pot.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE PRESSURE POT IS NOT OVERFILLED

OTHERWISE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE BALL VALVE MAY OCCUR.
REGULAR INSPECTION IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT PREMATURE

FAILURE

Manual
7.3.3 Exhaust valve

The exhaust valve is constantly subjected to the rapid exhaust of all the compressed air inside the
pressure pot along with any blast media which may be carried through by the stream of air.
Consequently the interior of the valve, particularly the diaphragm, is potentially subject to a high rate
of wear. This wear will increase if the pressure pot is regularly exhausted when full of media as
opposed to when all the media has been expelled. Regular inspection is necessary to prevent
premature failure of either the valve or of the diaphragm.

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:
Model Phase Voltage Cycle Power Full load

(Hz) (kW) current (A)*

CY600 3 400 50 1.5 3.6
CY900 3 400 50 1.5 3.6
* 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.

Operation &

Manual
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.
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.
