This programmable, indexing turntable machine
reduces per-unit cleaning costs on piston rebuilds by
over 30 percent compared to previous methods. By coordinating the movements of 16
blast guns, oscillating vertically and
horizontally, with spinning work stations
on a rotating platform, the system ensures
thorough coverage and fast cleaning
in a single pass. Eight guns oscillating
vertically clean the sides and skirts of the
pistons. The guns sweeping horizontally
clean tops and interiors.

Our batch processing systems, which include both
continuous and indexing turntable machines, are ideal
for parts requiring long blast cycles. In the typical
work scenario, the operator loads work pieces onto
the turntable, sets the timer, starts the machine and
returns when the cycle is completed. By adding a blowoff
manifold and timer, which automatically remove
residual material from the part and turntable, the
operator is freed from the often dusty task of manual
blow-off.
Empire’s PF-4848-RS with a 36-inch turntable,
our PF-6060-RS with a 48-inch turntable and the PF-
7272-RS with a 60-inch turntable feature rotating blast
guns that assure even coverage. Blast-head and tablerotation
speeds are both variable to ...
Empire offers turntable and in-line machines for
continuous processing. These systems can be loaded
and unloaded manually, equipped with robotic arms
or designed as an integral part of the production line.
Our continuous turntable machines come in
four standard models with table diameters ranging
from 36 inches up to 108 inches. Larger units are
available with two rotary blast heads. The heads can
be oriented to perform separate functions, such as
blasting the interior and exterior of parts at the same
time. Standard features include a rubber cabinet
lining and a urethane coating on the turntable for
extended service life.
Empire’s single-station cell machines serve as just one example of how we meet the ever-changing demands of
manufacturers worldwide. Our cell machines reduce inventory requirements and conserve floor space, giving many
customers the winning edge in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Empire’s rotary blast head delivers tremendous
coverage while conserving compressed air. When the
application calls for it, our rotary head will outperform
any horizontal-nozzle oscillator, including our own,
by reducing the number of blast guns and energy
required for the job. Our rotary heads contribute to
the outstanding performance of our in-line conveyor,
continuous turntable and batch turntable machines.
Empire continues to develop air-blast peening systems with advanced computer-control, blast-coverage and material-handling features that not only increase productivity, but also assure repeatability-a major concern in these quality-intensive applications affecting the structural integrity of critical components.
