The major infrastructure stimulus package in the U.S. is expected to open up numerous sales opportunities for portable air-blast equipment.
Staying ahead of the competition, Empire’s SuperBlast® portables have become even more user-friendly with the addition of two optional wheels. This feature, available on the 1050 and 650 SuperBlast models, as well as the 350 model shown here, enhances maneuverability, making the units easier to transport. Please note, the extra wheels are offered as an option, not as standard equipment.
In addition to this improvement, the SuperBlast continues to set the standard in the industry, making it the top choice for infrastructure blasting projects. Its many field-proven features and innovations include:
- Low profile design to reduce the effort required to load grit.
- E-Z Fill™ feature that breaks bags on contact, eliminating the need to cut and suspend heavy bags.
- Built-in screen to filter out clumps and debris, preventing the clogging issues found in competitor equipment.
- Sound attenuator to minimize noise during operation.
- Dry-Flo™ moisture and oil separator that ensures reliable performance even in adverse conditions like freezing temperatures.
- Compact, front-mounted controls that reduce the risk of damage when moving between job sites.
- Slim design that easily fits through narrow doorways.
- Petcock safety feature allows supervisors to signal operators and shut off blasting at the pressure vessel.
- Large piping to supply plenty of air, enabling faster work.
- Flexible air line that’s easy to maintain and eliminates pressure drops caused by multiple fittings.
- Empire’s patented Sure-Flo® grit valve, known for its precision, reliability, and easy maintenance.
- Lifting eyes and wide handle for simplified transport.
- Pressure vessels rated to 125 psi, compliant with ASME and National Board standards.
- Large inspection port for easy access to the vessel’s internals.
With these robust features, SuperBlast technology is also central to Empire’s Blast Rooms, Pneumatic Blast & Recovery systems, and Blast/Vacuum equipment—all of which are environmentally friendly and ideal for infrastructure work.
