1.Preparation
(1) Confirm that the glass sand selection of the appropriate degree of sand, sand will be poured into the sand blasting machine sand box.
(2) Confirm the pressure of the sand blasting machine and the distance and direction of the nozzle, adjust the angle of the nozzle as needed.
(3) Prepare protective equipment, including gloves, masks, goggles, etc.
(4) Turn on the power supply of the sandblaster and confirm that the piping at all connections is smooth and free from leakage.
2. Operation steps
(1) Place the glass parts to be sandblasted on the working table of the sandblasting machine and fix the position.
(2) Adjust the sand blasting pressure and nozzle angle of the sand blasting machine and turn on the sand blasting machine.
(3)Aim the nozzle of the sand blasting machine at the sand blasting area of the glass parts and carry out sand blasting.
(4) Throughout the sandblasting process, the angle of the nozzle and the sandblasting pressure need to be constantly adjusted to achieve the desired effect.
(5) After finishing sandblasting, turn off the power of the sandblaster and clean the inside of the sandblaster and the surface of the glass parts.
3. Precautions
(1) When operating the sand blasting machine, be sure to wear protective gear to avoid sand running into your eyes or causing breathing problems.
(2) When the nozzle is clogged or there is no sand blasting, it is necessary to stop the machine in time to clean up.
(3) When using the sand blasting machine, according to the actual need to adjust the angle of the nozzle and sand blasting pressure, in order to achieve the best results.
(4) The number of times and conditions of use of the sand blasting machine will affect the life of the nozzle, regular maintenance is required.
(5) When cleaning the sand blasting machine, you need to turn off the power to avoid accidents.
Summarize
Glass sandblasting machine is a commonly used in glass technology processing equipment, through the high-pressure impact of sand particles, the glass surface frosting, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the aesthetic degree of glass and anti-slip anti-glare effect. In the operation of the sand blasting machine, according to the actual needs, need to reasonably adjust the angle of the nozzle and sand blasting pressure, in order to obtain the best results. At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out regular maintenance and repair of the sand blasting machine to extend the service life of the nozzle.
