Abrasive Blast Cabinets 

You have specific surface preparation requirements that your abrasive blast cabinets must consistently deliver. Clemco manufactures a variety of cabinets for shop floors, production lines, and cell-manufacturing floorplans that can handle your demands and applications, while boosting productivity and profitability

• Dry Blast Cabinets—More than 20 high-performance hand cabinets that come in a variety of sizes and configurations to fit your footprint, part size, and application needs.
• Wetblast Cabinets—When you have highly specific surface finish requirements or must have contaminant-free surfaces.
• Lightweight-Media Cabinets—Remove coatings or contaminants without damaging delicate parts. These manual cabinets are specifically designed to blast with lightweight, nonaggressive media.
• Economy Cabinet—If you abrasive blast only a few hours a week, are new to abrasive blasting, or have a tight budget.
• Tumble Blast Cabinets—Surface prep a batch of parts all at once—faster than manual cabinets where operators can only blast one part at a time.

Complete Blast Facilities: Blast Rooms with Media Recovery and Dust Collection Systems

You need to blast large structural components and machinery. A cabinet is too small, and blasting outside is not cost effective, as well as prohibited at your facility. Clemco designs a variety of industrial blast systems that can fit your space, productivity, and application requirements.

Blast Rooms

• Preassembled—Delivered to your facility ready to install. These compact, prebuilt blast rooms fit into tight footprints and need only air and power supplies to begin blasting.
• Predesigned—Offered in a variety of sizes and pre-configurations. They provide flexibility for various footprints and a short lead time. Delivered unassembled to your facility.
• Fully Engineered—Purpose-built blast rooms engineered to accommodate your unique application requirements and processes. Tailored to your specs and delivered unassembled.

Media Recovery Systems

• Pneumatic—Adjustable recovery systems ensure that your blast system is dialed in to deliver the results and productivity you need when blasting with medium-to-low density media such as glass bead, plastic, and ALOX.
• Mechanical—Use when blasting with steel and other coarse-mesh abrasives. We offer four high-performance, mechanical recovery systems to fit your space and recovery requirements.

Dust Collection Systems

• Recovery—Clean media and the right media mix are crucial for effective abrasive blasting. Clemco high-efficiency, recovery dust collectors optimize your media recovery system for maximum productivity.
• Ventilation—Designed for high-performance and continuous-use, ventilation dust collectors ensure a blast room is properly ventilated to meet regulations and that operators have the visibility needed to stay productive and safe.

• Custom-Engineered Blast Systems—And then there are times when short cuts—cut you short—and you need a customized solution. We custom-engineer semi- and fully automated cabinets and blast rooms integrated with Industry 4.0 technology, HMI-PLC controls, cutting-edge ergonomics, and many other enhancements that ensure consistency, productivity, and a quick return on your investment.

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.
