Clemco for Shipbuilding Marine
Shipbuilding and marine fabrication involve blasting plate, frames, pipe sections, hatches, railings and heavy assemblies before protective coating. Clemco blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems need space for large steel parts, abrasive recovery, dust collection and rugged service access.

Marine Steel Movement
Plate, stiffeners, pipe spools and fabricated sections may arrive by crane, forklift or transfer cart. The blast area should support straight travel paths, wide openings and staging that does not trap parts between blasting and coating.
Abrasive Containment Strategy
Marine work can generate heavy abrasive and rust scale. Room seals, door placement, floor recovery and collector capacity should be reviewed so spent media and dust stay manageable within the work area.
Collector Location In Harsh Shops
Dust collectors and ducts should be placed with corrosion, weather exposure, roof access and service clearance in mind. Outdoor or edge-of-building locations may require careful routing of electrical and control connections.
Coordination Before Coating
Blasting often feeds coating operations with little room for delay. Installation planning should account for part staging, compressed air tie-ins, exhaust routing and maintenance access that supports the downstream coating schedule.
Frequently asked questions
What marine fabrication details help plan Clemco blast equipment?
Provide part types, largest dimensions, material handling method, desired blast-to-coat flow, compressed air capacity, building openings and available collector space.
How does abrasive recovery affect shipbuilding layouts?
Recovery equipment influences floor design, cleanup routes, hopper access and where maintenance staff can reach conveyors, separators and wear components.
What makes dust collector placement challenging in marine shops?
Large parts, outdoor exposure, overhead cranes, roof structure, salt air and limited service space can all affect where a collector can be installed.
Can a blast booth move closer to coating operations?
A move should be planned around rigging access, utility extensions, exhaust routing, media cleanup, collector relocation and how parts will stage between blast and coating.
