Media

Media

 N/A Empire™ basket blasters are designed for use with glass bead (180 mesh or larger), aluminum oxide (40 to 200 mesh), steel grit (G-125 to G-200), steel shot (S-70), and nutshells or plastic of any size. Consult Empire™ for recommendations concerning other abrasives.

Dust Collection

Dust Collection

 N/A In addition to bag-house units, we offer a cartridge dust collector with both basket blaster models. The vertical cartridges in the CDC-6 are easy to replace and provide a filtration area of 452 square feet which captures 99.999% of particles one-half micron or larger. With either the bag-house or cartridge collectors, air can normally be recirculated to the workplace, thereby reducing HVAC costs.

Media Reclamation

Media Reclamation

 N/A Basket-blaster reclaimers are tunable, meaning they can be adjusted to prevent and control the loss of fine, medium or coarse media. They also include a removable debris screen to prevent oversized material from clogging the nozzles, and an easy-access door for quick media filling.

Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A Operation is simple: Load parts into the unit, set the precision timer, and the Basket Blaster does the rest. By tumbling parts within abrasive blast streams, these machines deliver consistent finishes - automatically.

Empire™'s heavy-duty Basket Blasters feature an unloading chute to speed parts handling and a tunable media reclaimer supported by rugged ductwork to reduce maintenance requirements.

Two models are available: a BB4-3K with a 350-pound parts capacity and three pneumatically controlled oscillating blast nozzles that increase production rates while reducing power consumption, and a smaller BB2-3K unit with two fixed nozzles and a capacity of 300 pounds.

Put either unit to work and your parts finishing costs should start to take a tumble right away.
