Three Key Benefits for Basket Blasters
Empire's BB2 and BB4 Basket Blasters automate cleaning, peening and finishing of small work-pieces. With certain types of parts, no other finishing method can compare to these heavy-duty production machines in terms of speed and quality results. Typical applications are for parts or items that may be rusty, or in need of cleaning, or where you need to achieve a required surface finish for...

Robotic Blasting: Key Applications & Efficiencies
To compete in a hyper competitive global finishing market the use of robotics in air-blasting is quickly becoming the preferred method to reduce costs, increase productivity and improve product quality. Our experience has enabled Empire to design robotic blasting systems that meet the needs of today’s most demanding applications. Key Applications: Empire has custom engineered and built hundreds...
Read More »Pressure Boost Enhances PRS's Reclaim Capacity
One of Empire's proven work horses, our Pneumatic Recovery System (PRS), plays a central role within customer-constructed blast enclosures and within some of our new equipment. Its ability to retrieve, clean and recycle abrasives at rates of up to 70 pounds per minute appeals to customers who appreciate the savings associated with reclaiming media. Now, we've given the PRS more punch. A modified...

Empire always looks for ways-both large and small-to enhance the value of its products. Scheduled modifications to our Pro-FinishÃ-® line, for example, will improve system performance and simplify the installation of spacesaving vertical doors. For starters, the taller light box (shown above and left) will house a number of benefits. Scheduled for introduction in coming months, the taller box...

Our MH-3 blast gun boosts production rates by 10 to 25 percent when compared to suction guns based on traditional designs. But even more impressively, the MH-3 continues blasting without maintenance at least 10 times longer than previous designs, including its predecessor, our MH-2. Independent tests have demonstrated the MH-3's staying power many times. The high efficiency and exceptional...
Read More »Pre-Engineered Air-Blast Booths comply with OSHA and EPA.
At 10 ft high, Pre-Engineered Booths (PEBs) strip large parts while reclaiming media, removing dust, and breathing fresh air into work enclosure. Booths do not require welding or excavation and are constructed with 14 gauge wall and ceiling panels. Pneumatic blast and recovery system combines pressure-blast hardware with media-reclamation system, producing 47 in. of static pressure. Standard...
