Clemco Sandblast Booth Installation
Clemco sandblast booth installation should be planned around the abrasive process, the workpieces being cleaned, and the plant space that supports both. Double D Mechanical reviews booth placement, dust collection, compressed air routing, media recovery, utilities, and maintenance access so the installation fits daily production.

Sizing the Booth Around the Work
The booth needs to fit the largest workpieces while leaving room for operators, hoses, fixtures, carts, and handling equipment. For truck parts, heavy equipment, pipe, marine components, or fabricated steel, the approach path and staging space can be just as important as the booth footprint.
Compressed Air and Blast Equipment Needs
Blast performance depends on an adequate compressed air path from the plant system to the equipment. Piping size, dryer location, pressure drop, hose routing, and connection points should be reviewed early, especially where multiple blast operators or other air-intensive tools are present.
Dust Collection and Media Recovery
A sandblast booth installation may include collector ductwork, fan connections, recovery channels, separators, hoppers, or other abrasive handling equipment. These components need room for service and cleanup, and they must fit the floor, traffic pattern, and building structure.
Installation Planning With Other Trades
Booth installation can involve rigging, electrical, compressed air, concrete, roofing, structural, and controls coordination. Sequencing should keep the enclosure, collector, ductwork, utilities, and startup checks moving without blocking critical production areas longer than necessary.
Frequently asked questions
What should be reviewed before installing a Clemco sandblast booth?
Review part sizes, handling methods, blast media, compressed air capacity, floor condition, collector location, duct routing, electrical needs, and maintenance access.
Does a sandblast booth require make-up air planning?
Yes. Exhaust and dust collection remove air from the work area, so replacement air can affect dust control, operator comfort, and nearby processes.
Can media recovery be included in the installation layout?
Yes. Recovery equipment should be planned with the booth footprint, floor conditions, cleanup needs, and maintenance access.
Why is staging space important?
Staging space keeps loading, unloading, inspection, and movement to the next operation from becoming a bottleneck around the booth doors.
