.jpg) | SuperBlast® Portables Simplicity, safety, reliability and performance—those were our design goals when we engineered SuperBlast® portables. Many years on tough jobs, such as removing corrosion, preparing surfaces for coating and maintaining heavy equipment, have proved that SuperBlast® portables deliver exceptional value in the field. A look at the features below will show you that SuperBlast® portables are made of the "right stuff." These rugged systems are the product of ingenuity and experience; they combine a host of standard features designed to boost productivity and profits. In addition, they can be ordered in a variety of configurations, including your choice of pneumatic or electric remote controls, a complete OSHA package and a full line of accessories. SuperBlast® makes short work of big projects; and small jobs are a snap. For the best blasting results, nothing beats SuperBlast®.  | ||||||||
.jpg) | Features A. Low profile reduces the strain of lifting heavy bags of grit. Deep position of built-in screen eliminates the need for height-raising add-on screens. B. E-Z Fill™ (Patent No. 4,557,825) breaks bags on contact, eliminating cutting and manipulating heavy bags. Built-in screen stops debris that clogs and shuts down other types of blasters. Large, six-inch opening saves time by permitting faster refills. C. Sound attenuator reduces noise. D. Dry-Flo™ moisture and oil separator keeps you blasting by removing water that can lead to media caking or freezing and assures smooth media flow. It keeps you up and running, even under adverse conditions. E. Compact, front-mounted controls reduce the chance of damage when loading or unloading from trucks. Slim design lets you wheel SuperBlast® through narrow doorways with no damage to piping. Petcock, a safety precaution, allows you to signal the operator and shut down the system at the pressure vessel. F. Large piping assures ample air-volume for high-speed blasting. One inch is provided on 350 models and 1-1/4 inch on 650 and 1050 models. G. Flexible air line simplifies maintenance, prevents air leaks, and eliminates performance-robbing pressure drops caused by multiple fittings. H. The Sure-Flo® grit valve delivers reliable, precise performance and can be serviced easily in the field. I. Rugged pressure vessel meets ASME and National Board standards. J. Lifting eyes simplify loading onto trucks. K. Wide handle with guards makes moving easier and safer. You can store the unit upside-down because it has no above-rim projections. | ||||||||

.jpg) | Pneumatic Blast & Recovery Empire's Pneumatic Recovery System (PRS) provides an economical method of blasting and reclaiming abrasives. The Pneumatic Recovery System consists of a high performance, high-vacuum dust collector, blower, and motor with an 800 CFM reclaimer and a storage hopper designed to fit on top of a portable pressure vessel. The pressure vessel may be previously purchased or supplied with the system.  | ||||||||
.jpg) | FaStrip® Portables When stripping operations involve delicate surfaces or require precise removal of old coatings, nothing beats FaStrip® machines for speed, quality, safety or economy. By delivering plastics, wheat starch or other soft media at low pressures, FaStrip® makes it possible to strip delicate metallic or composite materials quickly and thoroughly without damaging the substrate. Compared to alternative stripping methods, Empire's FaStrip® process offers a number of major benefits. When chemical agents are used to remove coatings for example, rubber components, windows and other vulnerable areas must be thoroughly protected. Otherwise, those materials and underlying structures or controls may be damaged. Also, residual caustics can later damage fresh paint. With FaStrip®, most of this prep work is unnecessary. For instance, masking does not have to be extended beyond the windows on to the paint, so a great amount of manual detailing is eliminated. | ||||||||
.jpg) | Because the FaStrip® process does not employ toxic chemicals, it is safer for workers and the environment. In addition, less time is required for cleanup and the high costs for disposal of hazardous chemicals are reduced or eliminated. In short, Empire's FaStrip® process offers three compelling advantages over alternative methods. It's faster, safer and more efficient, which all adds up to better results and higher profits when you're stripping expensive equipment. FaStrip® machines are available in cabinet models as well as portable units. | ||||||||
.jpg) | Suction Blasters With Empire suction blasters, you enjoy the benefits of blasting at a very low cost. Our S-4 and S-100 suction units have trigger-action guns for start-stop control. They're well suited for less demanding work such as removing light rust and paint, frosting glass and spot blasting. Plus, you can get started with an air compressor as small as two horsepower with a fine grade of #70 grit. | ||||||||

.jpg) | Other Portables Features Empire's Saf-Stop II™ Safety Switch control device (Patent No. 3,834,082) adds essential safety to any blasting operation by shutting down the system if the pneumatic control hose gets cut, crimped or crushed. The control comes with a large, easy-to-manage handle protected by a guard. Another control option which can be added to the handle is Empire's grit cut-off switch. With the switch installed, media feed to the air line can be turned on and off, enabling the operator to blow off media and dust parts before they exit the blast enclosure. | ||||||||
.jpg) | A key to the popularity of SuperBlast® portables is our Sure-Flo® grit valve and media regulator (Patent No. 4,518,145). The media path through the valve is straight down, assuring dependable flow. Abrasive media contact only one part, a gum-rubber pinch tube. Not only is the tube exceptionally long lasting, is also inexpensive and simple to replace – even in the field – meaning you enjoy more productive time and virtually maintenance-free operation. With the Sure-Flo®, metering is easy and precise, saving you mountains of media. There are a variety of tube sizes available to meet special application requirements. More quality accessories include: Premium blast nozzles; blast hose; tank couplings, nozzle couplings, quick-snap couplings; pressure tester; wet blast heads, etc. See the Portables Buying Guide for more information. | ||||||||
