Built in a heavy duty construction with a smaller footprint designed to accommodate a job shop with various applications such as deburring, dross removal, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing or finishing.
Mass finishing with a centrifugal barrel tumbler can be performed either wet or dry. Wet processes use a liquid lubricant, cleaner or abrasive, and dry processes do not. Each of the four barrels is loaded to roughly 50-80% of capacity with the following elements:
A centrifugal barrel tumbling machine is especially well-suited to remove significant burrs, blending lines and other machinable material. They also excel in polishing and burning applications. With the use of various ceramic and organic media (e.g., corn cob), centrifugal bars machines can achieve nearly any part finish. This includes super-fine surface finishing polishing, burr removal, and even micro-finish polishing.
You want a matte or satin finish. The aluminum oxide blasting media can be added to the centrifugal barrel finishing process. This will make the part shiny instead of matte.

Vibratory tumblers use a side-to-side movement to shake a bowl or tub in a circular path, similar to the rock polishing kits that many of us played with as children. The finishing occurs in a scrubbing action as the parts and media shear against each other.
An industrial tumbler machine can perform three types of work, in ascending order by smoothness.
No matter what your application is, we can help you find the right machine to fit almost any metalworking task.
A centrifugal container tumbler works in a similar way to a Ferris Wheel, with smaller baskets placed on the edges. A centrifugal finishing device, also known as harperizing, has four barrels. Each of these barrels represents a place on a Ferris wheels and one large wheel. Each revolution on the flywheel results into one complete rotation each barrel. High centrifugal forces are generated by the flywheel, which is fast turning. These forces can generate up to 15 – 20 times the force and gravity of gravity. The contents will slide against each others under high pressure. The increased pressure allows faster processing of metal components and consistent results.
The AJ 700 air feed paper jogger pushes air between sheets to reduce jogging speed and eliminate static. It allows for digital copies and press sheets drying immediately after printing. This prevents offset. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills are 2-inch deep and feature movable tables on bearings that allow for precise paper positioning. Five pre-set patterns are available for the 25 and 55 tabletop models. These patterns can be selected by turning a dial.
Are you frustrated by flat parts Flat parts such washers pose the biggest challenge in centrifugal barrel finish. They can stick to or wick together on the barrel sides, so only one side is deburred. Add glass bead blasting media into the centrifugal-barrel finishing process. The beads coat parts so that they won't stick together or to the barrel. Glass beads are also great for parts that may be difficult to separate.
We have clients who depend on our metalworking machines in a wide range of industries.
Finishing mortars and concretes; natural and artificial masonry materials; decorative ceramics; materials and items made of wood, paper, glass, plastic, and metals; and paints and varnishes are the most common finishing materials used in modern construction.
The law of attraction between positively and negatively charged particles underpins the finishing technique of applying a coating to a metal surface. The paint is usually positively charged, while the support to be painted is negatively charged because it is wired to a strong electric field.
Metal finishing aids in the reduction of wear and tear on metallic products. Aside from aesthetics, it has a wide range of industrial applications. It helps to improve electrical conductivity, torque resistance, and metal solderability, among other things.
