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.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide top-quality abrasive solutions for each customer, no matter what their material or application. Our machines are capable of performing a wide range of tasks depending on the job, such as deburring, slag grinder, edge rounding and calibrating, or finishing. We also have dry metal machines which can be used in many other applications and offer many benefits.
An industrial tumbler machine can perform three types of work, in ascending order by smoothness.
Are you confused by flat parts? For centrifugal barrel finishing, flat parts like washers are a challenge. Because the parts stick to the barrel's side, they can wick together and stick to it. Only one side is deburred. Glass bead blasting media can be added to the centrifugal barrel finish process. The beads cover the parts and make them unable to stick to each other or the barrel. For parts that are prone to cup together, glass beads work well.
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.
The FC 10 Automatic Collator ranks among the top collators available today. It interfaces with a variety bookletmakers, including the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. Sprints, and SF2 Series.

Every Triumph trimmer includes either stationary or movable transparent Lexan safety covers. All models are tested and certified by independent safety laboratories to meet international safety standards. Triumph trimmers are certified according to a quality management system, which has been implemented in all areas of the business under DIN EN ISO 9001 (2009) standards.
If you are looking for a metalworking tool to finish, deburr, or perform other processes, there are two choices: wet or dry. These machines complete the same job using different methods. Dry machines don't need to use any coolant, but wet machines can disperse coolant onto the surface.
We have clients that rely on our metalworking machinery in many industries including:
Use of the correct tumbling media is crucial for centrifugal barrel finishing. The wrong media, particularly the wrong geometry, can double the cycle time for parts. Using cones or cylinders for tumbling media when not appropriate can slow down processing time significantly.
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.
