At Rodeco Metal Finishing, we understand that every company—whether large or small—has to balance operational efficiency with budget constraints. For businesses that rely on blasting for surface preparation, coating, or cleaning, investing in the right blast room can be a critical decision. But what if you could get a high-quality, customizable blast room that fits your budget, meets all OSHA requirements, and is easier to install than traditional custom-built rooms?
This cost-effective, modular solution is a game-changer for businesses looking for high-performance blast rooms without the steep cost. Whether you’re a new company just getting started or a well-established business aiming to reduce overhead, Empire’s pre-engineered blast rooms provide customizable options that allow you to tailor the room to your exact needs—while keeping your budget in check.
A key advantage of the Empire Pre-Engineered Blast Room is its exceptional flexibility. Unlike custom-built blast rooms that often come with a hefty upfront cost and complicated installation, Empire’s pre-engineered rooms let you choose the features that best fit your business needs. You can opt for only what’s necessary—skipping the extras—or choose to include additional features that enhance performance, all while staying within budget.
Empire offers a range of standard sizes to fit various operational scales. Whether you’re blasting small parts or large equipment, you can select a room that meets your exact needs. This customization prevents you from overpaying for extra space you don’t need or cramping your operations into a too-small area.
Empire provides a range of media recovery systems to fit various blasting requirements, from the budget-friendly Pneumatic Recovery System (PRS) to more advanced mechanical options. The PRS, which utilizes the same cyclonic reclaimer found in Empire’s Pro-Finish® blast cabinets, offers an economical solution for recovering abrasives—without the need to dig a pit or install an auger system. For businesses looking for more efficiency, Empire’s partial or full recovery floors provide a mechanical solution that includes a bucket elevator and drum separator—or media air wash—to quickly recycle large volumes of media. The mechanical systems vary in cost based on how much labor you want to eliminate, with options for both smaller and larger-scale operations, allowing you to choose the system that best balances performance and budget.
Dust control is not only a regulatory concern but also a health and safety priority. Empire’s blast rooms come with customizable dust collection options, ensuring compliance with OSHA standards while maintaining a safe, comfortable working environment. With a range of systems available —Empire makes it easy to control dust, reduce contamination, and protect your workforce.
Each Empire Pre-Engineered Blast Room is designed to meet OSHA safety standards, providing the highest level of protection for your operators. With built-in features like integrated ventilation, proper lighting, and secure access points, your team will have everything they need for a safe work environment—without the additional cost of custom modifications or add-ons. Plus, Empire includes all necessary abrasive blast PPE, such as respirators, blast suits, air filters, and CO/gas monitors, to ensure comprehensive safety. However, if your company already provides its own personal protective equipment, you can opt out of this package to reduce costs even further.
Traditional field-erected blast rooms can be costly and time-consuming to construct, but Empire’s pre-engineered blast rooms deliver the same high performance and durability at a fraction of the cost. Their modular design allows for faster installation, cutting down on labor expenses and minimizing downtime. While field-erected rooms can take weeks to install, most pre-engineered blast rooms can be installed in just a few days. Additionally, these rooms can ship much faster—sometimes in as little as 4-6 weeks—compared to the extended lead times of custom-built options. And when you choose Empire’s pre-engineered blast rooms, Rodeco Blast Services, our dedicated service division, is here to handle the installation, startup, and comprehensive training for both operators and maintenance teams. This ensures your team is fully prepared to operate the new system efficiently and safely from day one.
The biggest advantage of choosing an Empire Pre-Engineered Blast Room is the ability to reduce costs in several key areas, without sacrificing quality. Here’s how:
This cost-effective solution not only benefits your bottom line today, but also sets your company up for long-term success by fostering a safer, more efficient work environment that can easily scale as your business expands.
