If you have special requirements, Empire’s sales and engineering staff will work with you to develop a top-quality system to fit your specific needs.With more than 50 years’ experience producing air-blast equipment, we have the technical and manufacturing resources to do the job right, and provide turnkey installation if desired. Empire offers two types of blast-room enclosures (Pre-assembled and Field Erected) in a wide variety of configurations. Once you’ve decided which type is best for your operation, our engineering department will design your room using proven Empire components. This field-tested equipment includes; pneumatic recovery systems; bucket elevators; cyclonic and air-wash reclaimers; drum separators; sweep and shovel chutes; vibratory, pneumatic and screw floors; ventilation systems; pressure vessels; blast controls; and safety equipment – everything to assure your Empire blast room performs efficiently, safely and smoothly.

PRE-ASSEMBLED BLAST ROOM

Pre-assembled blast rooms are available with many options in a variety of enclosure sizes. These enclosures feature #10-gauge wall/ceiling panels and fully welded construction. Package rooms can be installed quickly. They are normally up and running within a day.

FIELD-ERECTED BLAST ROOM

Field-erected room enclosures are available in dimension adaptable to almost any requirement. Rugged, #10 gauge wall and ceiling panels can be bolted or welded together. Advantages include: lower shipping costs, greater design flexibility and enhanced compatibility with your specific space and production requirements.

MANY FIELD-OPTIONS

Fluorescent lighting on ceiling and sidewalls, protected by clear lexan panels, provides excellent illumination and easy maintenance from outside the blast room.

Air-inlets assure proper cross-draft ventilation.

Empire offers a wide range of media recovery options, including: screw floors, vibratory floors, sweep chutes and pneumatic-recovery troughs.

Empire offers a full spectrum of media-recovery systems to meet almost any application requirement. These range from our economical pneumatic recovery system (PRS) to configurations incorporating full-recovery floors. The PRS, which employs the same type of cyclonic reclaimer as our Pro-Finish® blast cabinets, can be used alone or in conjunction with a vibratory or screw floor. However, with the partial or full floor shown on the facing page, mechanical reclamation is more economical. Mechanical recovery consists of a bucket elevator and drum separator—or media air wash—that quickly recycle a large volume of media regardless of whether it’s introduced through a sweep chute or full floor designed for nonstop production. Empire floors can be adapted to an existing enclosure or one you build on site. With Empire, you can select the system that’s right for you and be confident we’ll help you make the best choice. Plus, we offer the option of turnkey installation backed by the best warranty in the industry.

PRS system offers an economical alternative to a full blast room for limited-use operators. In addition to pneumatically collecting media, the unit recycles and cleans abrasives through a cyclonic reclaimer attached to a media-filtration system.
