Abstract:  
EMPIRE’S PRO-LOADER is designed for bulk media transfer with no lifting and a minimum of attention by an operator. The system consists of a 55-gallon or 30-gallon drum-lid, drum-empty sensor, and an adjustable carburetor pick-up tube. A customer supplied bulk media steel barrel or cardboard drum can be used for media replenishment. The drum-lid is secured to the barrel/drum by a lever-lock closing ring and a 1½” heavy-duty Exair Line Vac™ siphons media out of the barrel/drum into the transport hose. The drum-empty sensor is programmed to automatically sense when the storage hopper is low and siphons fresh media into the blast system.
