Key Features:

  • Available in pneumatic or electric configurations to suit different blasting setups.
  • Complies with OSHA regulations for remote blasting control systems.
  • Pneumatic handles operate effectively with up to 100 feet of twinline control hose.
  • Electric handles operate efficiently at distances up to 500 feet with specialized cables for extended ranges.  Electric handles have the added advantage of never freezing up during cold weather use.
  • Spring-loaded lever mechanism prevents accidental activation.

Clemco RLX Deadman Handles

Sku: P-DMCLEMCO

Clemco Deadman Handles (aka RLX Handles or Remote Control Handles) are designed to provide safe and efficient remote control for abrasive blasting machines, meeting the stringent safety requirements outlined by OSHA. These handles are available in pneumatic and electric configurations, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of blasting systems and offering flexible options for various worksite needs. Pneumatic Deadman Handles: 
  • Operate using twinline control hose with a 3/16" ID on both sides.
  • When the handle is pressed, a rubber button blocks the orifice, diverting air back to activate the remote control valves and begin blasting.
  • Effective for distances up to 100 feet.
Electric Deadman Handles:
  • Utilize an electric cord and micro-switch instead of twinline hoses.
  • Operate on 12 volts for safety, reducing risks during extended operations.
  • Provide fast response times at distances up to 500 feet, with specialized cables available for longer distances.
Advantages:
  • Pneumatic Handles: 
    • Simple, easy-to-service design.
    • Twinline hose ensures correct and secure connections.
  • Electric Handles:
    • Faster response times, ideal for long-distance operations.
    • Low-profile, threaded connectors for secure attachment to hoses.
Operational Safety:
  • Pressing the remote control handle activates the blasting system, while releasing it stops the operation. A spring-loaded lever mechanism prevents accidental activation, ensuring safe operation at all times.
Requirements for Operation (Not Included):
  • Twinline remote control hose (for pneumatic handles).
  • Electric cord (for electric handles).
  • Blast machine fitted with Clemco remote control valves.
  • Power source (for electric handles).
Important Note:
  • Always use genuine Clemco parts to ensure compatibility and safety. Never modify or substitute components with parts from other manufacturers, as they are not compatible with Clemco systems.
