- Accelerate Finishing of Small Parts
- Process 300 Pounds Plus per Cycle
- Deliver Repeatable Results
Empire's BB2 and BB4 Basket Blasters automate cleaning, peening and finishing of small workpieces. With certain types of parts, no other finishing method can compare to these heavy-duty production machines in terms of speed and quality results.
Operation is simple: Load parts into the unit, set the precision timer, and the Basket Blaster does the rest. By tumbling parts within abrasive blast streams, these machines deliver consistent finishes - automatically.
Empire's heavy-duty Basket Blasters feature an unloading chute to speed parts handling and a polyurethane-lined media reclaimer supported by rugged ductwork to reduce maintenance requirements.
Two models are available: a BB4-3K with a 350-pound parts capacity and three pneumatically controlled oscillating blast nozzles that increase production rates while reducing power consumption, and a smaller BB2-3K unit with two fixed nozzles and a capacity of 300 pounds.
Put either unit to work and your parts finishing costs should start to take a tumble right away.

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.

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.

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.
