Empire's IL-4884-RS machine processes parts in line on a continuous basis.  The unit accepts and unloads work pieces handled manually or robotically.  Standard conveyor belt speed is variable to maximize production efficiency on different types of work pieces.  Standard units come with either six-gun or nine-gun rotary blast heads.  As always when you deal with Empire, these units can be custom engineered to meet your production requirements.

Empire's in-line equipment ranges from our standard IL-885 cabinets to specially tailored systems such as the extended in-line machine shown below.  Designed to accept work pieces from four operators stationed along the extended conveyor, this unit features a part sensor at the entry to the blast enclosure that initiates blasting only when a part goes through the door.  If the sensor does not detect a part, blasting stops until he next work piece enters the enclosure.  Media use, belt wear from abrasives and power requirements for compressed air are confined to periods of productive blasting only, resulting in substantial savings on maintenance and utility costs.      With Empire's in-line machines, you can have the choice of suction, pressure or continuous pressure blast systems in addition to a full range of conveyors, including flat-belt, pinch-belt and pinch-roller systems.  Likewise, nozzle/gun configurations - with or without movement - can be tailored to meet almost any production requirement.
