Engineered Systems

From Recovery Systems to Blast Rooms to automated Cabinets, Metal Finishing can help you design, quote and supply all components needed for your application.

Blast Rooms:

There are a number of reasons why a customer may choose to install an inside blast room enclosure, EPA regulations, Weather, Neighbors and generous cost-savings on recyclable abrasives make a blast room facility more appealing and efficient. A properly designed blast room with the correct abrasive used could pay for itself in as little as a year!

Metal Finishing Supply is a distributor of Clemco® Industrial Blast Facilities. A Clemco Industrial blast facility can be designed and engineered for your application, whatever your budget – from a fully equipped blast room with recovery and dust collection, to a simple sweep-in recovery system for an existing blast room. Prefabricated, pre-assembled rooms are even available!

The media choice drives the equipment selection, whether it be a mechanical system or pneumatic system. The attached PDF info on Clemco® Industrial Blast Facilities Planning Guide will help you give you more information in designing your room. We can of course help you all the steps of the way!

Note: The dust collectors included in these systems power the recovery systems only. A separate dust collector is needed to ventilate the room.

Dust Collectors:

A proper dust collector must be added to any blast facility in order to provide adequate ventilation and visibility. Proper CFM draw will be needed from any system installed depending on the type of abrasive you are using and the room size! Clemco® CDF Dust Collectors are specifically designed for blast applications while providing a minimal footprint! All systems are designed for inside or outside use. Cartridges collect dust and deposit in 55 gal drums for disposal and reverse pulse cleaning jets continuously clean the cartridges for longer life.
