If you're looking for a fast, efficient, economical method for finishing small parts, check out one of Empire’s BBO basket blasters.  To finish parts, you simply drop them in the blaster's 9” x 9” basket, set the timer, and these table-top work savers do the rest.  As parts are rotated through an abrasive blast stream, they are cleaned, finished or peened evenly and automatically.  By simply varying air pressure and abrasive media, you control the type of finish you get as well as required processing times.  Besides freeing you from the tedious chore of manual parts processing, Empire's BBO basket blasters save you time and money in other ways.  They are inexpensive, come fully assembled and ready for operation, require only a two-horsepower compressor, use less electricity than a 150-watt light bulb, and meet OSHA requirements.

BBO basket blasters come in two models: the BBO-1 with dust bag, and the BBO-2 with an OSHA-approved dust collection system.  Both basket blasters are recommended for applications where blasting is performed two to three hours per day, although the BBO-2 will provide a cleaner, more efficient operation.
