Dust Collection 0
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.

BB2 & BB4 Basket Blaster Features
Media 0
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.
Media Reclamation 0
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, an easy-access door for quick media filling and a polyurethane liner that extends reclaimer life.
