Clemco media reclaim system installation and service
Clemco media reclaim systems collect abrasive from blast rooms and booths, separate reusable media and return it to the blasting process. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services reclaim systems with attention to floor recovery, conveying equipment, separators, dust collection, controls and utility routing.

Recovery Pattern Under The Blast Area
A reclaim system should match where abrasive falls during normal work. The position of grating, hoppers and sweep-in points affects cleanup time, operator movement and how easily the room can be maintained.
Conveyors And Return Equipment
Mechanical recovery components need alignment, guarding and access. Conveyors, bucket elevators, air wash separators and return lines should be placed so wear items can be reached without dismantling surrounding production equipment.
Dust And Fines Removal
Reclaim systems work with dust collection to remove fines and debris before media returns to blasting. Connections to the collector, separator adjustments and debris discharge points should have practical access for inspection and cleaning.
Relocation Measurements To Capture
Before moving reclaim equipment, document trench dimensions, floor elevations, conveyor lengths, motor locations, control panels, duct connections, abrasive storage and the way the system ties into the blast pot.
Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of media reclaim?
It reduces manual abrasive cleanup and helps return usable media to the blast equipment after dust and debris are removed.
Does reclaim equipment require slab planning?
Many layouts do, especially when hoppers, trenches, grating or embedded recovery sections are part of the system.
What can interrupt abrasive return?
Worn flights, plugged screens, damaged grating, leaks, misalignment, overloaded dust collection or debris in the media can interrupt return.
How should separator access be planned?
Leave room to inspect screens, adjust air wash, clear debris, check dust connections and service motors or bearings.
What photos help with reclaim troubleshooting?
Photos of the recovery floor, conveyors, separator, dust collector connection, control panel and abrasive discharge points are helpful.
