Hodge Clemco blast machine. When operated as a slurry blast
machine the media is totally saturated in water within the
system, fully dampening any airborne fines and dust during the
blasting process. The ratio of abrasive to water is approximately
1:1. Recommended abrasives range from 0.2mm particulate
size upwards. All Aquagrit units are manufactured to the Hodge
Clemco Contractor machine standards and accept Clemco spares.
The range includes three vessel sizes: 1040, 1448 and 2050. Grit

IBIX Ultra-Portable Blast Machines

The IBIX range of ultra portable blast machines are designed with portability in mind. The unique
IBIMAR range has low maintenance and can easily be taken into confined areas making it ideal for
shipping and offshore industries.
The high grade aluminium construction makes the
unit very light and at the same time robust. Wheels
are fitted to allow the unit to be towed in a trolley
form but the smaller IBIX machines can also be
operated like a back-pack. Three versions of this
machine are available to suit most budgets and
application requirements.
Unlike conventional blast pots the
IBIX units utilise a unique pistol style

 Ancillary Items Nozzles
Hodge Clemco manufactures a comprehensive range of blast nozzles. These include parallel
bore, venturi, double venturi, side outlet and water injection nozzles. We have a nozzle to suit
every application.
Our nozzle designs come in a range of material types. As a general rule the harder the abrasive,
the harder the material type used in the blast nozzle.
Our lowest cost boron alloy nozzles are designed with budget and performance in mind and
require the use of an LR1 nozzle retainer which clamps the nozzles in position. Our tungsten
carbide nozzles are ideally suited for chilled iron abrasive applications with boron carbide being
offered on hard abrasive applications such as aluminium oxide. A hard material nozzle offers
extended life and cost savings on most applications.
