Clemco Introducing Major New Air Blasting Equipment Product Line at AMPP Conference

Clemco Industries Corporation has introduced three new innovative models of bulk blasting machines, pressure hold abrasive metering valves and portable vacuum recovery systems with technologies to significantly increase overall job performance and make any steel and metallic surface improvement job easier. These new products are the latest from Clemco as the company accelerates its pace of new product development and transforms from a manufacturing company to a technology-driven solutions provider for customers with critical standards for finish, reliability and safety. Clemco solutions are designed to enhance the impact of surface preparation processes on quality, productivity and customer satisfaction in diverse industries and applications including aerospace, medical devices, bridge maintenance, oil and gas pipelines, shipyards, water and oil storage tanks, and water treatment facilities.

The new product lines include:

  • Pro Series Big Clem Bulk Blasters, which feature the industry’s highest rated pressure vessels at 175 psi and the industry’s fastest refill cycle at 20% faster from depressurization to repressurization. Big Clems delivers maximum pressure to the nozzle to boost operator productivity while its dual 3” air inlets eliminate need for additional field plumbing and easily support multiple operators and larger nozzles.
  •  Grit Wizard lasts up to 12 times longer than existing metering valves on the market. 
  • Munkebo Portable Abrasive Vacuum and Recovery Systems make recovering spent abrasive quick and easy with cost savings and environmental benefits. They utilize pneumatic conveyance and gravity to move abrasives through its system, which speeds up abrasive recovery and reduces the number of mechanical parts in a system that need maintenance. This also allows contractors to clean up spent abrasive for disposal or for transport to a recycle system.

“These new products have been developed in response to what contractors and end users told us they need to meet their evolving blasting and surface improvement requirements,” said Tom LaMantia, President and CEO of Clemco. “We are utilizing an end-to-end approach of discovery, collaboration, development and implementation that we call our ‘Ideation 2 Realization Process’, or I2R, to get a comprehensive understanding of each customer’s specific needs and then develop a more complete solution for their needs that is properly managed, delivered on time and fully supported. This process draws upon Clemco’s extensive knowledge of surface preparation, automation, controls, in-house design and manufacturing, project management, and customer and technical support capabilities. We anticipate introducing more new products in the future.”
