Closed Circuit Blast Machines
Combining Hodge Clemco standard portable blast cleaning equipment and an abrasive recovery system results in an effective and efficient closed circuit blast system. Our Eductoblast is air powered and ideally suited for use with recyclable abrasives. A smaller closed circuit suction unit, the Eductomatic, is available where portability is the primary selection criteria. All closed circuit blasting units collect the spent material, remove any contamination and feed clean recycled grit back to the blast nozzle. Closed circuit blast machines are used on applications where containing the airborne abrasive and dust is essential, especially in areas where other personnel are working. These machines provide a low cost and efficient means for in-situ cleaning.
Eductomatic
When containment of dust and abrasive is necessary, the Eductomatic is an essential tool. A range of heads are available to provide a seal against most surfaces. A 360° swivel blast head enables cleaning at all angles and with a total weight of 3 kg it is light and manoeuvrable. Air volumes of 33-60 cfm at 90 p.s.i, are required to power the unit. Abrasive will normally be of a recyclable type which is cleaned by the unit with all dust contained in an attached dust bag or for production use in a separate dust collector. With easy filling and a blast pattern of approximately 32mm diameter the Eductomatic is a clean and simple unit to operate, ideal for those difficult areas.
Eductoblast
The Eductoblast is a combination of Hodge Clemco’s standard portable blast cleaning equipment and an abrasive recovery system to produce an effective and efficient closed circuit blast system. The Eductoblast is an air powered unit and is ideally suited for use with metallic abrasives. For other commonly used abrasives the addition of a spent material collection hopper is recommended. This collection hopper is particularly useful for safe disposal of lead based coatings. There are two models in the range, the EDB 60 and the EDB 75.
