Introduction
About This Manual
This manual should be kept with the machine and be readily accessible to machine operators and
maintenance personnel.
This manual contains information on the safety, transportation, operation and maintenance of this
machine.
The graphics used in this manual may show machine details that may be dierent than the actual
machine. Components of the machine may have been removed for illustrative purposes or the
continuing improvement of the machine’s design may cause changes that are not included in this
publication.
The owner of this machine is responsible for verifying the operator of this machine is properly
trained and understands the contents of this manual.
About The PLT 60
This machine combines patented technology in a lightweight and compact design that gives the
operator unparalleled control for dry ice cleaning and other applications.
yThe Advanced Air-Flow System reduces pressure loss as the air ows straight through the
system which also decreases sublimation and loss of the dry ice particles.
yThe Blast Pressure Control System can be regulated digitally from the 7” HMI color screen on
the control panel or certain applicators.
yThe SureFlow System with Dynamic Agitation is designed to keep warm air, moisture and
debris out of the hopper while keeping the dry ice owing. The level of dry ice in the hopper
can be monitored from the HMI screen of the control panel or certain applicators.
yThe Advanced Direct Drive Feeding System is a two-stage feeding system that improves feed
rate consistency and maximizes dry ice particle integrity.
Environmental Impact
Dry ice is a safe, clean and non-toxic medium approved by the EPA, USDA and FDA. The dry ice used
in this machine is made from reclaimed CO2generated from other industrial processes.

Safety
General Safety Guidelines
This machine is designed to comply with international design standards and the European
Machinery Directives. Therefore, using the machine does not pose a risk to the operator when the
instructions in this manual are followed carefully. However, certain precautions must be followed
during its use. To understand all the necessary precautions, the machine operator must read the
entire manual before operating or performing maintenance on the machine.
Operation and maintenance should only be performed by authorized and trained personnel. Below
are some basic safety guidelines:
yFollow local governing codes to ensure a minimum standard of safety.
yWear protective gloves, eye protection and hearing protection.
yOperate the machine in a well-ventilated work area.
yFollow the prescribed maintenance schedule (see “Maintenance” on page 35).
yStart up and shut down the machine according to the instructions in this manual.
yDo not operate a machine that is damaged or in disrepair.
yDo not store objects on top of machine hopper.
CO2 Safety
This machine uses dry ice (CO2in solid form). The temperature of dry ice is -78.9°C (-109°F). Avoid
coming into direct contact with dry ice as it may cause severe tissue damage.
Study the material safety data sheet (MSDS) of dry ice (CO2) supplied with the delivery of dry ice and
follow all the recommendations and guidelines listed therein.
Operate the blaster in a well-ventilated work area with continuous CO2 -level monitoring. The eects
of CO2 are entirely independent of the eects of oxygen deciency. Therefore, CO2concentrations
at 3-5% causes headaches, fast breathing and discomfort while higher concentrations may cause
unconsciousness, suocation or respiratory arrest. The legal exposure limit set by OSHA is a 0.5%
average over an 8-hour workday and the acute (15 minute) exposure limit set is 3.0%.
Always use a CO2 monitoring/alarm system when working with machinery that emits CO2in a
conned room/space.
Electrostatic Discharge
Dry ice blasting may create electrostatic discharge(s). This machine is tted with eective
electrostatic dischargers to prevent injury or damage. Also, the machine must be plugged into a
properly grounded electrical outlet.
It is recommended to avoid operating the machine near explosive or ammable material. Also, use a
plastic shovel when handling dry ice to eliminate any additional static electricity.
