Clemco abrasive blast booth installation and service
Clemco abrasive blast booths provide a contained area for cleaning, profiling and preparing parts before coating or further fabrication. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services blast booth equipment with focus on part access, dust capture, collector connections, compressed air, media recovery, controls and maintenance clearance.

Booth Opening And Handling Clearance
The booth opening should match the parts and equipment moving through it. Fork pockets, carts, lift tables, hoists and operator hose routes all affect how much clear space is needed inside and immediately outside the booth.
Air Capture Inside The Booth
Airflow should carry dust away from the operator and toward collection points without pulling dust into adjacent work areas. Duct routing, collector condition, filter access and replacement air all influence how well the booth contains blast dust.
Media Recovery Choices
Some booth layouts rely on manual cleanup, while others use recovery floors or sweep-in points. The choice affects slab work, service access, abrasive storage, separator placement and the time needed between parts.
Electrical And Pneumatic Routing
Lighting, controls, dust collector wiring and compressed air drops should be routed so they are protected from blast exposure and easy to service. Hoses and conduits should not interfere with doors, lift paths or access panels.
Frequently asked questions
What is the first layout question for a blast booth?
Start with the largest part and how it will move into, through and out of the booth.
How is dust managed in an abrasive blast booth?
Dust is controlled through directed airflow, ductwork, a dust collector, filters, seals and proper replacement air.
Can reclaim equipment be added later?
It may be possible if the floor, booth geometry, separator location, dust collection and utilities can support the added equipment.
What utility information should be gathered?
Compressed air capacity, electrical service, control panel location, lighting feeds and dust collector connections are useful to document.
When should a booth be inspected?
Inspection is useful when visibility drops, dust escapes, filters load quickly, air pressure falls, recovery slows or controls behave inconsistently.
