Our dry-metal machines are available to industries in metalworking, woodworking and plastics. It allows for more uniform and effective finishing processes. To help our customers achieve the best finish, we distribute our products across North America.
Mass finishing can be done either dry or wet with a centrifugal bar tumbler. Wet processes employ a liquid cleaner, lubricant, or abrasive while dry processes don't. Each barrel holds approximately 50-80% capacity.

You will enjoy a longer service life, reduced costs and less frequent maintenance of finishing or deburring with our machines.
The Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. portfolio of mass finishing machines ranges from simple rotary vibrator to fully automated surf finishers with robotic equipment. The conception and implementation of systems and processes which are individually designed for the customer are one of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s core strengths. Metal, plastic, ceramic or wood...deburring, degreasing, descaling, rust removal or polishing: The options for the use of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass finishing machines are simply endless.
There are three main types of work that an industrial tumbler can do, in ascending or decreasing order of smoothness.
As a rule, media that is darker cuts faster. If plastic media is very dark it's more likely that it will be quickly cut using a more aggressive abrasive. Mild cutting is possible with mildly-abrasive mass finishing in lighter media.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. will go to great lengths for you to ensure that you have the right parts to keep your machines running smoothly.
Air between sheets is created by the AJ 700 air-feed paper jogger. It reduces jogging and helps eliminate static. This allows press sheets and digital copies of the paper to be dried quickly after printing. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills boast a 2-inch depth drilling capacity and movable, bearing-mounted tables for precise paper positioning. 5 pre-set patterns can be selected from the 25 or 55 tabletop models.
In addition, using a centrifugal barrel finishing machine increases consistency in quality. Handwork at best yields an 80% acceptance rate, but with a centrifugal barrel finisher you can achieve much higher rates of acceptance. In addition, the surface finish after centrifugal part tumbling is isotropic and consistent in all directions, unlike hand polishing.
No matter how many steps are involved in your process each step must take place separately. Also, polishing and deburring cannot be done at the same time. Instead, polish first and deburr second. If more steps are required, they must be done in ascending order. Polishing and deburring should be done first.
Centrifugal barrel tumbling machines are the fastest and most cost-effective method for deburring and/or polishing large quantities of metal parts at once. Also known as an industrial tumbler, rotary tumbler or harperizer system, a centrifugal barrel finishing machine uses a cyclical sliding action to grind the metal surface. Centrifugal barrel finishing is a type of mass finishing.
Our machines have a longer life expectancy, lower costs, and require less maintenance for finishing or deburring.
The Inovatec Automatic Surface Finishing Machine has a PLC control system that allows you to control the entire surface finishing process. It is a completely automated and labor-saving solution. Suitable for deburring and polishing a large batch of small parts at once.
Metal finishing is the process of altering an object's surface in order to improve its appearance and/or durability. Metal finishing is related to electroplating, which is the electrodeposition of a thin surface coating of metal onto another.
Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
