SANDBLASTER POWER GUN

The Clemco Power Gun is a suctionblast
tool designed for dry abrasive
blasting where the air supply is limited or
the job is small. The tool is lightweight
and compact and ideal where setting up a
conventional pressure blast machine
would be awkward or inconvenient. The
Power Gun can be used with all common
media to clean or etch metal, clean
masonry, etch glass, and other durable
surfaces.
Requirements for Operation
These items are required but not
included with the Power Gun:
Clean, dry, compressed air of sufficient
volume to maintain pressure at the gun.
Volume of air will depend upon the
application and desired production rate.
Suitable NIOSH-approved air-fed helmet
for respiratory protection for the operator,
as required by OSHA.
Blast Media as suitable for the
application. The Power Gun handles most
fine media suitable for blasting. Consult
distributor for media recommendation.
NIOSH recommends against the use of
abrasive containing more than 1% free
silica.
The optional heavy-duty plastic hopper
holds an ample supply of media. The
amount of media loaded will be dictated
by the application and the location of the
blast job.
Description of Operation
The tool simply connects to
compressed-air and abrasive sources. The
unique suction lance installed on the
abrasive hose is partially submerged into a
bag of media or connected to the optional
media hopper. Blasting begins when the
operator depresses a lever on the gun.
The tool operates on the principle of
induction, where vacuum is created by the
compressed air rushing past the point
where the abrasive hose attaches to the
gun. The vacuum draws abrasive through
the hose into the gun, where it mixes with
compressed air. The air-abrasive mix
exits the gun and strikes the surface to be
blasted.

• Simple set up without hopper—
partially submerge suction lance
into bag of abrasive
• Easy to use and maintain
• Touch-up work or re-blasting
areas that may have failed
inspection
• Onboard ship
• On a scaffold or other elevated
or difficult to reach location
• Small jobs
