DuraBlaster® Assembly and Placement
It is very important to understand the operation and activation of the DuraBlaster® to determine the
best location of the components.
1) Ideally, the pump station should be placed in the back room as close to the
DuraBlaster® as possible to allow for fast and on time water response to the wheels.
Belanger® offers 2 DuraFlo™ pump station options to supply various pressures and
flows to the DuraBlaster®. They are:

DURAFLO15D 18 GPM 1100 psi 15 Hp 1NOZZL-MG002 115002

DURAFLO15P 36 GPM 600 psi 15 Hp 1NOZZL-MG006 115003
DURAFLO25P 36 GPM 1100 psi 25 Hp 1NOZZL-MG004 115004
2) Ideally, the air panel (Rotating DuraBlaster® ONLY) should be placed in the back room,
but it can be placed in the bay as close as possible to the DuraBlaster®. For best
operation, keep airline length from the panel to the DuraBlaster® less than 100 feet in
length.
3) To ensure maximum cleaning, DuraBlaster® spinner assemblies should be located to
allow maximum soak time for any chemicals applied to the wheels. The spinners can be
placed below an existing piece of equipment to save on space.
 The driver and passenger side DuraBlasters® should be in line with each other
across the wash bay width.
 The outside of the driver side base plate should be 43” from the inside guiderail
of the conveyor as shown on the previous sketch.
 The outside of the passenger side base plate should be 140” from the outside of
the driver side base plate.

 Use two 3/8” x 3-3/4” anchors to secure the DuraBlaster® to the floor at these
dimensions. There are 4 mounting holes in each base plate but only 2 diagonal
anchors are needed for each side. Mark the floor, drill one 3/8” hole and insert
one anchor.
 The driver side and passenger side Rotating DuraBlasters® have the same
components but are assembled slightly differently. There are two different flow
controls located under the back cover. One flow control is shiny silver and may
be installed into the top or bottom of the cylinder. The other port of the cylinder
will have an elbow that connects an airline to a brass flow control protruding
through the cover.
 The brass flow control has the highest resolution, and is used to adjust air out
of the cylinder during the wheel tracking rotation.
 The silver flow control is used to control air out of the cylinder during return
rotation. The assembly with the silver flow control on the bottom should be
installed on the passenger side of the tunnel.
