comes mounted on an
ergonomic cart made from
heavy-duty steel tubing. This built-in
cart makes it easy to move your blast
machine — both at the blast site and
onto and off your pickup or trailer.
The cart’s handles form a cage that
protects the components most likely to
be damaged — remote control valves,
piping and CPF breathing air filter.
On the lighter two-cubic-foot model, two wheels
are provided.
All are rated for 150 psi working pressure — that’s
20-percent higher than most standard machines.
Use that extra pressure to safely increase your
production rate. Your Contractor Blast Machine is
ASME-certified, which is your assurance that the
pressure vessel will stand up to years of
high-production blasting.
On four-cubic-foot and six-cubic
foot models, large rear tires and smaller
front tires make moving your
Contractor Blast Machine a breeze.
The free wheeling tires roll easily over
minor surface irregularities and the cart
safely supports the weight to eliminate

The large hand hole is
reinforced with a ring of

Not just different ... better
Aside from the pressure vessel,
everything else about your Contractor
Blast Machine looks different from
conventional machines. Our engineers started with a blank screen and
a mandate to design a versatile system
that is as productive as current technology allows.
Details make the difference. The
diameter of the formed steel tubing was
selected, not just for its structural
properties, but for the way it fits
comfortably in the average adult hand.
This makes moving the cart easier and
safer.

Hookup points for blast hose and

for your breathing air line, so you
spend less time fumbling with

A
ll Contractor Blast
Machines come with Clemco’s
exclusive Millennium pneumatic remote
control valve, which combines inlet and
outlet functions. It starts and stops faster,
so you spend less time waiting, and more
time blasting.
Pressing the remote control handle
simultaneously actuates both the inlet and
outlet portions of the valve. Some
systems activate one valve then the other,
which can slow response times.
For repetitive short-cycle blasting, order the
Contractor Blast Machine configured for pressurehold operation. It eliminates the delay between the
time you actuate the remote control and blasting
begins. Also, this system includes an abrasive cutoff
switch for remote control actuation of the abrasive
flow, which allows air-only blasting to dry surfaces
after wetblasting.

Metering Valve
Quantum –
Engineered For
Lasting
Economy
All parts normally
exposed to abrasive
flow are made
from durable,
wear-resistant
material. Even
the metering
adjustment
knob is
designed and
built to stand up
to real world use
and abuse.
Metering and valve actuation are separate functions in the
Quantum. Precision screw control accurately meters all
common blast media.
For Complete Control
T
he Quantum accurately meters all common
blast media — from coarse steel grit to slag to
fine glass bead. Just empty the blast machine, pour
in the new media, and start blasting.
For contractors, the Quantum’s flexibility
reduces downtime between jobs that require different blast media. For rental outlets, owning Contractor Series systems makes every blast machine ready
to roll out the door regardless of the application.
Any common blasting media the customer chooses
will be compatible.
The remote control actuator section of
the Quantum, which is included only
on systems equipped for pressurehold or remote abrasive cutoff, stops
the flow of abrasive positively and
instantly.
As with all the remote control
valves on your Contractor Blast
Machine, the Quantum’s actuator has
a built-in fail to safe feature that stops
the flow of abrasive if the signal from
the remote control handle is interrupted for any reason.
Metering and valve actuation are separate functions on the Quantum. In fact, the simple metering
portion alone is all that’s needed for most contractors
with pressure-release applications.
Inside the Quantum, a hardened steel metering
plate precisely controls the flow of abrasive. The
contractor adjusts abrasive flow by turning the knob.
The metering plate, which receives most of the
wear, can be replaced in the field in minutes using
standard tools.
The Quantum Metering Valve features
precision adjustment.

ontractor Blast Machine systems can be ordered with
a built-in CPF breathing air filter so you never have to
worry about leaving this important piece of safety
equipment behind. The CPF traps moisture, oil, and dirt, so
the air that reaches your respirator is clean and odor-free.
Every component of your filter cartridge is made from
virgin material purchased from reputable suppliers. Your
lungs are too important to trust to filters made from recycled
filter elements.
No breathing air filter can provide complete protection.
Carbon monoxide (CO), a deadly gas, can be produced by
some air compressors.
The CMS-2 Carbon Monoxide Alarm detects CO and
triggers an alarm at 10 ppm.

ontractor Series
nozzles include
Clemco’s most
popular silicon carbide and tungsten
carbide models, with
contractor threads or flange
mount.
The large-entry nozzles and largediameter blast hose deliver restriction-free flow of air and abrasive
from the blast machine to the nozzle.
Since introducing the venturi nozzle over forty years
ago, Clemco has continued to refine its basic design.
The Contractor Nozzle features wide, deep-pitched
threads to prevent galling by trapped dust, dirt and
abrasive particles and provide more “meat” to firmly
hold the nozzle.
These nozzles offer a
choice of metal, or
urethane, or rubber
jackets.
Supa blast hose outsells all other blast hose.
Its popularity is due to its
ultra-light weight and
unsurpassed flexibility.
Supa blast hose is manufactured to Clemco’s
exacting specifications.
There are scores of nozzles to
choose from in the Contractor
Series product line.
Order Supa Hose or 2-braid Blast Hose in 25- or 50-foot
lengths with inside diameters of 1 or 1-1/4 inches. 4-ply is
available in same lengths with the additional option of
1-1/2-inch inside diameter.

e’ve also made our most
popular couplings and holders
available as part of the Contractor
Series product line. They include the
nylon couplings for hose-to-hose
connections, and the nylon threaded
quick couplings to fit the blast

All our nylon couplings include
Clemco’s unique spring lock pins for
built-in safety. Our fiber-reinforced
nylon will not crack or shatter. A
coupling made from it can pop back
to its original shape after being
crushed by a car or light truck tire.
Clemco nozzle holders,
made from the same high-impact
nylon, accept all Contractor-threaded
nozzles. The large thread pattern
eliminates binding, so you can
remove and replace nozzles quickly
and resume blasting.
The Contractor Series selection includes the nylon
couplings for hose-to-hose connections, and the nylon

Metering Valves — Precise Abrasive Metering
One of the most important features of the blast machine is the abrasive metering valve. Selecting the
right valve for your application is the key to productivity and efficiency.
MEDIA
The Quantum valve handles all types of
media, minerals, slags, and metallic
media. Its simple design with few moving
parts allows for precise media metering
and easy maintenance. The Quantum fits
machines from 2 to 20 cubic feet.
The FSV is the tried-and-true, work horse
of the industry, an original Clemco design,
now copied across the globe. It is used on
machines from 2-cubic feet to 20-cubic
feet.
The MSV,
suited to
expendable
media, is used
on our 1/2and 1-cubic
foot machines.
The LPV is a low-profile valve for mineral and slag abrasives used on Lo-Pots.
The normally-closed Sentinel valve is
used on 2- to 20-cubic foot machines. It
handles all media types, and has an abrasive cut-off (ACS) feature. The ACS
allows the operator to shut off the abrasive flow and blow off the surface with air
after blasting. The Sentinel is used on
pneumatic and electric pressure-release
systems and on pneumatic and electric
pressure-hold systems.
The FSV, Quantum, and Sentinel
valves are designed to feed abrasive into the air stream at 45
degrees. This design feature eliminates turbulence, minimizes wear
on fittings, and ensures smooth,
consistent flow.

Remote Controls —
Critical Operator Safety Accessory
OSHA’s requirements for remote control blasting safety lie at the heart
of Clemco’s Remote Control Systems:
“Abrasive blast cleaning nozzles shall be equipped with an operating valve which
must be held open manually... (OSHA 1926.302 (b) (10)
A ‘deadman’ control device shall be provided at the nozzle end of the blasting hose
...to provide direct cutoff (of abrasive to the blast hose) in the event the blaster loses
control of the hose... (OSHA 1915.34 (c) (1) (iv)”

TLR 100/300 Pneumatic Remote Controls
The Clemco TLR 100 and 300 pressure-release
pneumatic systems operate on the return-air
principle. A handle installed at the nozzle connects
pneumatically to inlet and outlet valves on the blast
machine. With the safety petcock on the inlet valve
closed, the operator depresses the handle which opens
the inlet valve and closes the outlet to start blasting;
releasing the handle reverses the process and blasting
stops. This safety system stops blasting should the
operator lose control of the nozzle. And when the
blast session is over, the safety petcock is opened to
prevent activation, even when the handle is depressed.
TLR 50 for 1/2-inch piped machines operates similarly but
is not shown.
TLR 100/300 Pneumatic Remote Controls
with Abrasive Cut-Off
The Clemco TLR 100C and 300C pressure-release
pneumatic systems feature an abrasive cut-off
system (ACS), which permits the operator to shut-off
the abrasive flow for blowing down the surface after
blasting. These remote control systems include inlet
and outlet valves, abrasive trap, self-cleaning muffler
that reduces air exhaust noise, and the air-operated
normally-closed Sentinel abrasive metering valve.

Sentinel Pneumatic Remote Controls
EAC/EDC 100/300 Electric Remote Controls
For applications that require frequent starts and stops,
machines should be equipped with Sentinel
pressure-hold pneumatic remote controls, which
keep the blast machine under pressure but allow the
operator to start and stop blasting as frequently as
needed. The machine is pressurized and depressurized
manually, and the remote control handle controls the
on/off of the abrasive and air independently. These
systems are available in pneumatic and electric
models.
The Clemco EAC 100/300 (AC electrics) and EDC
100/300 (DC electrics) pressure-release electric
remote control systems are available for extremely
cold weather applications or where a continuous
length of 100 feet or more of blast hose is used. An
electric switch sends a signal through electric cord to
open and close the inlet and outlet valves, avoiding
the delay that would be experienced with air hose.
Electric systems feature an anti-freeze injector accessory, which is optional on pneumatic systems.
Electric remotes operate on a compressor’s 12-volt
system or 120-volt line power. Only 12-volt power
reaches the handle for the safety of the operator.

NOTES:
** 10 cu. ft. machines manufactured before 1983 use different pop-up valve and seat. Consult your Clemco distributor for details.
MSV, FSV, and LPV abrasive metering valves are suitable for blasting with mineral and slag expendable media. The Quantum and Sentinel metering
valves handle all common media including steel grit.
ACS is an optional accessory for remotes with Sentinel metering valves.
Remote Controls:
Remote control systems have valves matched in size to the blast machine piping. Remote Control System styles vary to suit the blasting operation
or application. Pneumatic Remote Controls work best with blast hose lengths up to 100 ft.; and Electric Remotes, powered electro-pneumatically, are
for hose lengths greater than 100 ft.

Piping Size: Size varies with pressure vessel capacity. Choose larger diameter
piping for high production operations.
Pressure-Release Remotes: Pressurize/depressurize machine by
pressing/releasing handle — simplest system to operate.
Pressure-Release with Abrasive Cut-off: Allows the operator to stop the
flow of abrasive to blow off the surface after blasting.
Pressure-Hold Remotes: Keep the blast machine under pressure for frequent
starting and stopping.
Sentinel Remote Controls
Single and dual operator systems available; consult distributor for details.
