Clemco Wetblast Injector Systems
• Reduces Airborne Dust
High-Performance Blast Cleaning
Clemco’s Wetblast Injector System
adds the dust-suppressing power of
water to any pressure blast machine.
The Wetblast injects a small amount
of water into the high-velocity abra-
sive/air stream just before the nozzle.
This hard-hitting mixture of water
and abrasive cleans and keeps dust
levels under control.
The Wetblast System introduces
water into the abrasive/air stream
before it passes through the nozzle
orifice. This results in a complete
wetting of each abrasive particle,
unlike with water ring systems. The
Wetblast controls airborne dust far
better than water ring systems.
Operation
The power behind Clemco’s Wet-
blast Injector rests in our exclusive
10-to-1 pump. It uses compressed air
to inject the water into the high-
velocity abrasive/air stream at the
nozzle.

The Wetblast Injector System
requires no electric power, so there
are no wires and no connections to
short or shock.
Because the Wetblast Injector has
its own pump and uses relatively
small amounts of water, any source of
clean water will work — household
tap, water tower, or low-lying tank.

adjusts the water volume with a fine-

The versatile Wetblast Injector lets
the operator blast with wet or dry
abrasive. When the machine is
equipped with an abrasive cut-off
system, the operator can rinse the
surface with air and water, then dry
the surface with high-pressure air.
