Empire’s rotary head is unmatched in the industry, yielding tremendous coverage and production. When the application calls for it, there is not a more efficient, reliable piece of equipment available. The rotary head will outperform any horizontal nozzle oscillator while utilizing fewer guns, hence reducing compressed air requirements. The rotary head can be incorporated into an in-line conveyor machine, continuous turntable or batch turntable machine.
Empire utilizes DC motor driven, ball screw oscillators with all motors and bearings outside of the blast environment. The standard oscillator is variable speed, adjustable from 0.1 to 1.0 ips through a potentiometer mounted to the control panel. The addition of this oscillator includes a control panel upgrade to include an Operator Interface Terminal. Oscillation parameters include fixture length and stroke length (programmable in 1" increments) and quantity of strokes.
This feature has many beneficial qualities. With pressure machines and rotary head systems, automatic media replenishing is especially advantageous. It gives the operator a convenient place to add media, as its 4 cubic foot storage hopper is floor-mounted. Once the system recognizes that the media level is low, an automatic Sure-Flo valve opens to add virgin media to the reclamation stream until the proper level is reached. "In Refill" and "Make-Up Hopper Low" indicator lights are added to the control panel. An often overlooked but valuable quality of automatic media replenishing is the inherent media consistency it ensures. Fresh media is consistently added as the media breaks down and is drawn to the dust collector, maintaining a more consistent media size than an operator could.
Empire is proud to use Allen-Bradley as its standard platform for electrical components. A-B is recognized worldwide for high-quality, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. Customers can also find local support anywhere in the world to help provide an unmatched level of service.
