3.0 RECEIPT & INSPECTION
Upon receipt of shipment, review packing list, immediately check for missing
or damaged parts; open all boxes and crates, and/or any abnormalities; if
missing/broken parts, promptly notify appropriate carrier and your Sponge-
Jet representative.
- Examine all screens and components to insure damage has not occurred
during shipment.
- Operate unit on a sturdy, flat surface. This will assure maximum eciency.
- Vibrating parts should never come in contact with static parts of unit or its
surroundings.
- Check to be sure screen elements are level.

4.0 MEDIA CLASSIFICATION
Media Classification Process:
(1) Connect unit to an adequate electric supply, and turn on.
(2) After blasting Sponge Media abrasive, collect and pour it into Hopper.
(3) Sponge Media abrasives and small contaminants pass through Top
Screen, while oversized particles exit via Large Particle Downspout.
(4) Spent Sponge Media abrasives and small contaminants pass below
Bottom Screen, and exit through Fine Particle Downspout, while
reusable-sized Sponge Media abrasives exit above Bottom Screen via
Reusable Media Downspout.
IMPORTANT: Proper separation of oversized and undersized particles from
reusable Sponge Media™ abrasive is critical to reducing airborne dust and
minimizing risk of clogging Sponge-Jet Feed Unit™ while blasting.

4.1 TOP SCREEN - LARGE PARTICLE
CLASSIFICATION
Top Screen is a standard #3 mesh screen used to separate unwanted foreign
matter larger than most Sponge Media particles. Items such as nuts, bolts
or rocks are separated and discharged as oversized particles through Large
Particle Downspout.
WARNING:
Oversize particles, if re-introduced back into Working Mix, can cause harm or
damage by (1) becoming a projectile capable of injuring people, (2) harming
work surface, (3) piercing pressurized blast hose, (4) clogging Feed Unit and/
or (5) damaging/jamming the drive mechanism.
4.2 REUSABLE MEDIA
Sponge Media that do not pass through Bottom Screen exit unit via Reusable
Media Downspout. Sponge Media abrasive that exit Reusable Media Down-
spout can be reused in Sponge-Jet Feed Unit.
Working Mix: a blend of blasted Sponge Media passed through Recycler (as
reusable Sponge Media) plus a quantity of new Sponge Media added every 2-3
passes through Recycler. Generally this is 1-2 bags per hour, per nozzle.
4.3 BOTTOM SCREEN - FINE PARTICLE
CLASSIFICATION
Bottom Screen is a number #16 mesh screen used to separate foreign mat-
ter smaller than most Sponge Media particles. Fine particles are separated
from Sponge Media and discharged through Fine Particle Downspout and are
normally considered waste. Fine particles usually include paint chips, broken
down (spent) Sponge Media. These fine particles,
if added to the Working Mix, will increase ambient dust levels at work site.
Important: Dust level tolerance can change from project to project and is
subject to guidance from project management. When hazardous materials
such as lead paint, chromates, radionuclides, cadmium, or PCB’s are present,
there are additional demands for managing dust and waste according to best
practices and applicable local, state and federal regulations.
