Abrasive Blasting Equipment

Portables	Empire manufactures a full line of portable blasters, ranging from “do-it-yourself” suction blasters up to our SuperBlast® pressure machines, designed to strip structures and large work pieces at high removal rates. Our SuperBlast equipment offers a variety of control systems, as well as recovery options for both abrasive and plastic media. SuperBlast units include many “extras” that save time and boost profits.
Blast Rooms	We build both packaged and field-erected blast rooms. Media recovery can be as economical as a “sweep and shovel” setup or as automatic as a fully powered floor. Floor options include vibratory and screw-type, partial and full, with media-wash and recovery systems. You can create your own room around an Empire air-blast system or we can create a room to your specifications.
Blast Cabinets	Our standard line of Pro-Finish® cabinets offer many factory options, most often enabling users to meet production objectives without incurring costs for custom engineering. We also produce Econo-Finish® cabinets, designed for lighter service. To strip and clean workpieces with delicate substrates, Empire builds FaStrip® cabinets – in addition to portable units – tailored to handle plastic media.
Modified Cabinets	If you’re confronted with an awkward workpiece or want to accelerate production rates through partial automation, Empire can meet your needs. We have created hundreds of modified cabinets to satisfy specialized surface-treatment assignments. Blast-gun oscillation, part movement, programmable controls: we do it at a fraction of the cost you would pay for a fully automated air-blast system.
Automated Systems	When you do need a fully automated air-blast system, Empire should be your first choice. Our capabilities range in sophistication from continuous and indexing turntable machines – with satellite work stations – to in-line units. All can be computer controlled to the degree your process requires. Our customers report productivity gains of between 100 and 700 percent.
