Clemco Blast Room Installation
Clemco blast room installation brings together enclosure fit, abrasive recovery, dust collection, compressed air, lighting, controls, and the plant's material handling plan. Double D Mechanical helps facility teams think through the room as a working production asset, with attention to airflow, utilities, access, and the path to downstream finishing.

Room Layout for Heavy Workpieces
Blast room layout should begin with the parts, fixtures, and handling equipment. Long parts may need straight-through movement, while heavy assemblies may need crane coverage or reinforced staging areas. Door placement, operator hose movement, and inspection space all influence how the room should be positioned.
Airflow, Collector Location, and Discharge
Dust collection should be coordinated with the room's airflow pattern, collector placement, fan access, duct route, and discharge location. The installation should also account for building pressure and nearby systems that may operate at the same time.
Abrasive Recovery and Housekeeping
Recovery equipment affects the floor plan and maintenance routine. Full-floor recovery, partial recovery, hoppers, separators, and reclaim piping all need alignment with the blast process. Access for cleanout and wear component service should remain available after the room is enclosed.
What to Confirm Before the Walkdown
The best planning conversations are grounded in actual plant conditions.
- Largest part dimensions and loading method
- Current and expected blast media
- Compressed air source and available capacity
- Collector location options and duct exit preferences
- Floor condition, drainage, and embedded utility concerns
Frequently asked questions
What is included in blast room installation planning?
Planning may cover room placement, doors, dust collection, ductwork, reclaim equipment, compressed air, electrical routing, lighting, controls, and maintenance access.
How does compressed air affect Clemco blast room performance?
Compressed air affects nozzle performance, production rate, and consistency. Pipe size, distance, pressure drop, dryer capacity, and demand from other equipment should be reviewed.
Can a blast room be installed near coating equipment?
It can be evaluated, but dust control, part flow, air balance, staging, and housekeeping need careful coordination to protect finishing quality.
What should be ready before Double D Mechanical visits?
Have photos, measurements, part information, available drawings, utility locations, floor details, and production constraints ready for review.
