Blast Rooms

A
Rooms are ventilated with a long-lasting, easily maintained Cartridge-type dust collector (shown).

B
Bucket elevator, with rugged PVC-dacron belting, lifts media from floor level to the reclamation system.

C
Media air-wash removes oversized particles and dust from the blast cycle while returning good media to the storage hopper for reuse.  Cyclonic media reclaimers replace the air-wash in some recovery systems, such as Empire's PRS.

D
Media is normally stored in a Cylindrical hopper sized to and mounted on the pressure vessel for automatic gravity refills. A higher-capacity, Free-standing hopper can be substituted to lengthen operating cycles when a partial recovery floor is used.

E
A.S.M.E.- approved Pressure vessels offer 6-1/2 or 10 1/2 cubic-foot capacity and a 1-1/4" pipe string to provide ample air flow when optional second outlet is required.

F
OSHA-approved, Man-access door is equipped with panic hardware and can be conveniently positioned along either side wall.

G
Electrical controls are installed in NEMA-12 enclosures and pre-wired for easy hookup.

H
Empire gives you a wide range of choices for conveying media including: Screw floors, Vibratory floors, Sweep chutes, Shovel chutes and Pneumatic-recovery troughs.

I
Work-access doors provide a large entry for loading parts. Rooms can be equipped with doors at both ends to facilitate in-line parts handling.

J
Air-inlet plenums are custom engineered to meet proper cross-draft requirements.

K
Fluorescent lighting, protected by clear lexan panels, provides excellent illumination and can be replaced easily from the top of the room.

Pneumatic Recovery Systems
A  uniquely ventilated blast room for enclosed abrasive work. Entirely sealed, the pneumatic room allows for the spent media to be channeled in a high velocity air flow and gather on the floor only, thereby allowing the spent media to be captured easily and safely.

Rodeco offers two types of Empire's blast-room enclosures:
Package and Field Erected
Both are available in a wide variety of configurations.

Empire Blast Rooms Package Blast Room Package blast-room enclosures are available in a variety of sizes. These enclosures feature #11-gauge wall/ceiling panels and fully welded construction. Package rooms require minimal set-up and normally can be installed and running within a day.
Field-Erected Blast Room Field-erected room enclosures are available in standard configurations up to 30'wide, 20' high, with no limit to length. These enclosures feature bolt-together construction with #11-gauge wall panels and #14-gauge ceiling panels. Although this type of construction increases set-up work, it offers advantages in terms of lower shipping costs and greater design flexibility.
