that could result in personal injury, or death. Use only clean water with recommended soaps in your
VibraKING
®
bowl and associated accessories.
• If you intend to use dry media such as walnut shell, or corncob the bowl ports should be left plugged.
• If you intend to use manually induced fluids, the bowl ports should remain plugged.
• If you intend to use a re-circulating fluid system (such as the FilterPAK
®
4000 filtration system) connect
the fluid input through an appropriate metering valve to the port on the upper rim of the bowl. Connect
the drain line from the lower port on the bowl to the drain input on the re-circulating device (i.e. the
FilterPAK
®
4000) or to your fluid container. The bowl plugs are ¼ inch NP threads. If you purchased a
CombiPAK
®
150 or 200 you are supplied with a brass, clog resistant drain accessory. If this accessory is
not installed in the drain of the bowl install it by threading the drain accessory from the inside of the
bowl out with the supplied 0-ring to the inside wall of the bowl. Place the provided ½-20 nut on the
portion of the accessory that extends out of the bowl wall and tighten sufficiently to compress but not
crush the o-ring. Connect the drain hose to this accessory. Note: it is common for new media to slough
of small particles that may clog the bowl drain. The clog resistant drain can be cleaned with a reverse
flow air blast into the bowl (be sure to empty the bowl first and do wear protective eyewear when
doing this). If you purchased a basic bowl machine connect the drain line (1508) provided to the lower
port using the barb adapter provided (1507). Use the clamp stop (1509) provided to stop drain flow
during processing.
• Fill the bowl with your media of choice. The media should be filled to a level approximately 1 inch
below the top of the center post of the bowl.
• If you intend to use fluids, mix the fluids per the manufacturer’s instructions and introduce the fluids into
the bowl either manually, or via your re-circulating system. The fluid input quantity should be adjusted
to completely wet the media, but not to leave standing fluid in the bowl.
• Instill your parts into the bowl. The maximum combined media plus part load is:
• 150 – 35 pounds (generally 25 pounds of media, 10 pounds of parts)
• 200 – 50 pounds (generally 35 pounds of media, 15 pounds of parts)
Typically, ceramic media will weight 90 to 110 pounds per cubic foot. Plastic media will weight
from 40 to 60 pounds per cubic foot. Shell and cob media will weigh 20 to 40 pounds per cubic foot.
The 150 water level volume is 10 quarts (0.33 cubic feet), and the 200 is 20 quarts (0.66 cubic feet).
• Install the bowl lid. Using the lid will dampen generated noise, and reduce fluid evaporation.
• Connect the bowl to the 110/115/120 VAC, single-phase, 50-60 hertz electrical service.
• Turn the unit ON. The media and parts should rotate in a toroid form (a doughnut shape), with the media
and parts circulating vigorously from the bowl outside toward the inner bowl post, then downward to
return to the bowl edge.
• Counter weight adjustment. If the media and part rotation is insufficient (or to aggressive) do the
following:
• Disconnect the AC electrical power.
• Remove the bowl (with its media load) by loosening and withdrawing the 3/8-16 wing nut that
secures the bowl to the base, retain the wing nut and any washers that are present.
• Place the unit on its side (secured so that it will not roll off the work surface) and loosen two
wing nuts and remove the safety screen inside the unit base, retain all hardware.
• Note the position of the two round counter weights that are mounted on the ½ inch shaft of the
motor.
• Loosen the setscrew on the bottom weight only. If the vibratory amplitude was to little rotate the
bottom weight so that it is in closer alignment (more concentric) with the upper weight. If the
vibratory amplitude was to great rotate the bottom weight such that it is lesser alignment (less
concentric) with the upper weight and re-tighten the setscrew. Maximum vibratory amplitude
occurs when the two weights are exactly concentric with each other. Repeat this process as
required until you obtain a vigorous, yet smooth toroid media and part rotation.
• Reassemble the unit by reversing the disassembly steps described above. Securely tighten all
hardware.
