Clemco for Aerospace MRO
Aerospace MRO facilities use abrasive blasting for components, tooling, fixtures and structures that need controlled surface preparation before coating or inspection. Clemco blast rooms and abrasive blast booths should be integrated with part handling, air movement, dust collection and clean maintenance access.

Component Access And Handling
Aerospace parts may move on carts, stands, forklifts or overhead lifting equipment. The blast area should allow safe entry, stable staging and enough clearance for technicians to reach edges, recesses and complex surfaces.
Air Movement Near Sensitive Work
Blast dust and spent media should be controlled so nearby inspection, coating and assembly zones are not affected. Collector location, duct routing, door seals and replacement air should be considered with adjacent shop activities.
Utility Tie-Ins For MRO Shops
Compressed air, electrical service, lighting, controls and collector connections need accessible routing. Existing hangar or shop infrastructure may limit wall penetrations, ceiling routes and equipment staging.
Planning A Clean Shutdown
Service or relocation work benefits from known isolation points, current equipment drawings, filter access, media cleanup plans and a clear sequence for removing panels, ducts and reclaim equipment.
Frequently asked questions
What should an aerospace MRO facility have ready before a Clemco site review?
Have part dimensions, stand or cart details, desired workflow, compressed air information, ceiling restrictions, nearby sensitive work areas and photos of proposed equipment locations.
Why is dust control especially important in MRO areas?
Abrasive dust can affect adjacent inspection, prep and coating work. Layout should separate dirty airflow from cleaner work zones and keep collector service practical.
Can blast equipment be installed near aircraft support equipment?
The layout should account for tow paths, stands, carts, lifting equipment, utility drops and the service space needed around the blast enclosure and dust collector.
What affects relocation planning inside a hangar or MRO shop?
Door openings, slab loading, overhead structure, utility routing, lift access and the need to protect nearby work areas all affect relocation planning.
