Automated Solutions Tailored
to Your Productivity Needs

Increase Consistency and Product On-Time Delivery

You and your production team work hard. They understand that throughput, consistency, and downtime all impact the next process on the production line. And you know that decreased throughput from inefficient processes, inconsistent part finishing, and unscheduled downtime hurt the bottom line—and your reputation. Clemco gets this. That’s why when you partner with Clemco, you get an abrasive blasting solution tailored to the level of automation you need. Automation that optimizes your surface preparation, which in turn improves finishes on parts, end-product quality, and on-time delivery.

Optimize your entire production process and see a quick return on your investment—with a Clemco Automated Blasting Solution.

Abrasive blasting (formerly known as sandblasting) also is called grit blasting, bead blasting, media blasting, soda blasting, dry blasting, sponge blasting, shot blasting, and shot peening. However, sand should never be used when abrasive blasting because breathing abrasive containing crystalline (free) silica can lead to serious or fatal lung disease.
