These tools are designed to blast clean the inside of pipes without the necessity of rotating the pipe.  They remove rust, old paint, and any other contaminants better than any other method. 

Pipe cleaning tools replace conventional nozzles and are designed for manual travel through the pipe.

Through highly powered abrasive impact, precise surface profiles can be obtained which will ensure proper adhesion for long life coatings.  From 2" to 36" diameter pipe, Industrial Minerals have the tool to blast inside pipes.

• From 2" to 4" the Miniblast unit is recommended.
• From 3" up to 12" the Holloblast unit is used with either spacers or a carriage.
• From 12" up to 36" the Spinblast unit is a tried and tested piece of equipment.

Clemco's unique power injection gun delivers performance comparable to pressure blast systems, yet is lightweight and easily portable.

The entire system fits into a small base.  The gun uses a pick up wand which is placed into a container of abrasive media.  Changing abrasive is as simple as moving the pick up wand to a different bag of abrasive.  This versatility makes the power Injection Gun perfect for small jobs or fast changing job sites.

The Power Injection Gun will:

• Remove coatings, rust and dirt from welding areas.
• Prepare surfaces for coatings.
• Create an anchor pattern for coatings and adhesives.
• Take blasting outdoors for structures too large to fit a blast room.

Suction blasting with the Power Injection gun uses more compressed air per square meter of surface cleaning compared to pressure blasting and works best with smaller mesh abrasives.

Wet blasting uses compressed air and a standard blast machine to propel abrasive, with just enough water added at the nozzle to suppress dust. 

It produces the same hard hitting force of dry abrasive blasting.  When blasting steel structures, the addition of water has the added benefit of washing away water soluble salts and other chemicals, contamination that may cause coating failure, and that dry blasting alone will not always remove. 

WET BLAST ATTACHMENT

The simplest form of wet blasting uses a circular ring that fastens to the end of the blast nozzle and   directs a stream of water into the air and abrasive as it leaves the nozzle.  Wet blast attachments spray water on the outside of the air and abrasive stream, leaving the centre of the blast pattern dry. 

WET BLAST INJECTION

For extremely dusty applications, such as stripping old painted concrete, a Clemco Wet blast Injector is more effective than a water ring attachment.  An injector adaptor inserted between the nozzle holder and the nozzle, introduces water through angled jets just before the abrasive flows through the nozzle.  This thoroughly wets the abrasive particles before they leave the nozzle to provide more effective dust control.
