Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s bookletmakers and finishing machines are known for their speedy and flexible designs. The Sprint series models are well known for their performance and reliability in the print finishing business. The SF2 bookletmaker, which is a breakthrough in the printing industry, uses wire-fed sewing technology previously used only in larger systems at three times the cost.
Our dry metal machines serve industries in woodworking, metalworking, composites, and plastics to allow for more uniform and efficient finishing processes. We distribute our products all over North America to corresponding industries in an effort to help them achieve the best possible finish.
The type of work that an industrial tumbler machine performs can be placed into three categories, in ascending order of smoothness:
Safety is also improved by using a deburring machine. It reduces repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome that can be caused by polishing and deburring by hand. Handwork is much more comfortable with a centrifugal barrel machine than it is with handwork. Although centrifugal tumblers require that operators manually load each barrel, the machine's high speed makes up for the labor intensity.
These machines can be used for multiple shifts and seven days per week. These machines are designed to handle the most demanding production requirements.
We have the unique capability to custom design solutions for our customers within our in-house lab, enabling us to create a tailored, innovative solution.
A centrifugal barrel tumbling machine is the most efficient and cost-effective method of deburring large numbers of metal parts and/or polishing them at once. Also called an industrial tumbler, circular tumbler, or harperizer, the centrifugal bar finishing machine uses a sliding action to grind metal surfaces. One type of mass finishing is centrifugal bar finishing.
Barrel tumblers use rotary movement with abrasive tumbling media to create sliding friction. Imagine putting rocks into a barrel and rolling it down a hill, and you have the general idea. The deburring or polishing occurs as the parts slide against the media and other parts.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. takes great care to make sure you get the right replacement parts to keep all your machines in good order.

These all-in-1 digital finishing systems will raise your digital production levels.
The FC 10 has a variety of performance-enhancing options. The corner stapler attachment has the ability to staple up to 10 sheets simultaneously. The heavy-duty base is mounted on casters for easy mobility. Underwriters Laboratories of the US and Canada has certified the FC 10
Barrel tumblers create sliding friction by using rotary movement and abrasive-tumbling media. Think of putting rocks into a container and rolling it downhill. The parts are pushed against the media or other parts, and this is called deburring.
Are you looking for a matte or satin look? Aluminum oxide blasting media can also be used in your centrifugal bar finishing process. The result will be matte rather than shiny.
The correct tumbling media is critical for centrifugal bar finishing. The wrong media and particularly the wrong geometries can make it twice as long to finish a part. When appropriate, cones or cylindricals are used for tumbling media. This can dramatically slow down processing times.
Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.
Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.
Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
