Clemco-SURFACE blast rooms
Clemco-SURFACE rooms rank among the most dependable and economical systems for professional blasting and shot blasting. Each room is engineered around the largest workpiece, abrasive type, required capacity, number of operators, available space and production-process requirements.
The system is not assembled as a collection of unrelated equipment. Room, pressure vessels, abrasive recovery and air cleaning, elevator, ventilation, filtration, controls, operator protection and safety functions are designed as one functional, documented system.
Pneumatic scrapers — simple, economical abrasive recovery
Recovered abrasive falls onto the floor beneath the room, where pneumatically driven scrapers carry it to a collection channel. The scrapers operate with minimal compressed-air demand and do not require complex underground structures, deep foundations, chains or screw conveyors beneath the entire floor.
- Simpler civil works and faster installation
- Fewer moving and wearing parts
- Easy access for inspection and service
- Lower maintenance cost and reduced risk of downtime
- Automatic abrasive recovery without manual collection
Elevators matched to capacity
The elevator carries recovered abrasive to the cleaning and storage system. Its capacity is determined by abrasive type and bulk density, number of operators, nozzle diameter, expected consumption and required recovery time. This maintains a stable supply to the pressure vessel and continuity of the process.
Two-stage air cleaning of abrasive
Recovered abrasive passes through two matched cleaning stages. Mechanical separation removes coarse contamination and foreign objects; air separation removes dust, coating residue and worn grains from abrasive suitable for reuse.
- More stable surface quality and profile
- Lower abrasive consumption and less waste
- Longer nozzle and metering-valve life
- Lower risk of blockages and production stoppages
Compact room ventilation and filtration
Ventilation is engineered around room dimensions, abrasive type, dust load, operator count and required air velocity. The objective is not merely a high airflow, but a correctly directed flow that maintains visibility, prevents dust escaping into the production shop and carries particles reliably to the filter unit.
Through developed airflow routing and filter-surface selection, a Clemco-SURFACE system can use significantly fewer cartridges than individual conventional systems for a similar duty. The filter unit and fan power are therefore smaller, installation is simpler and compressed-air consumption for filter pulse-cleaning is significantly lower.
Example: 13 × 5 × 5 mA representative room of approximately 13 × 5 × 5 metres can use a filter unit with up to nine cartridges. Compared with a suitable conventional solution using many more cartridges, estimated pulse-cleaning air saving is approximately 3,000–4,000 l/min.
Example: 17 × 11 × 8 mA large industrial room of approximately 17 × 11 × 8 metres was engineered with only 12 filter cartridges. Conventional systems for a similar duty may use approximately 48 cartridges.
These figures are representative project examples, not a universal promise for every installation. Final airflow, cartridge count, fan power and air consumption are calculated for the actual dimensions, abrasive, production cycle and facility conditions.
Up to 1 mg/m³ dust in cleaned air
With a suitable filter configuration, declared dust concentration in cleaned air of up to 1 mg/m³ can be achieved under operating conditions. mg/m³ denotes dust concentration in air; the final declaration is linked to the selected filter model and its technical documentation.
A complete system under one brand
A Clemco-SURFACE room can include the room structure and lining, lighting, pressure vessels, metering valves, remote controls, hoses, couplings, nozzles, scrapers, elevator, separator, silo, ventilation, filter unit, controls, Apollo helmets, protective suits, gloves and CPF breathing-air systems. The customer receives matched components, genuine spare parts, clear technical responsibility and support in Serbia and the region.
The blast room as a complete machine
A blast or shot-blast room is an integrated system whose structure, abrasive recovery, ventilation, filtration, pressure equipment, electrical control and safety functions are interconnected. It is therefore engineered and documented as a complete machine in accordance with applicable requirements and the agreed scope of supply.
Documentation may include a technical description, equipment layout, ventilation calculation, pneumatic and electrical diagrams, operation and maintenance instructions, spare-parts list, pressure-vessel documentation, risk assessment, safety procedures and conformity documentation for the complete machine.
From workpiece dimensions, abrasive type, operator count, capacity and available space, we define the optimum recovery method, elevator, separator, ventilation, filtration, blast equipment and operator protection.
