The safety of workers is enhanced by the use of a deburring device. This reduces repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. The machine's centrifugal barrel design is far more ergonomic that hand work. The only downside to centrifugal tumblers is that they require operators to manually load each barrel. However, the machine's high speed compensates for this labor intensive.
Centrifugal barrel finishing requires the use of the right tumbling media. The cycle time for parts can be doubled if the media is not right, especially if it's the wrong geometry. If you are not using cones or cylinders to tumble media, it can significantly slow down the processing time.
We can help you find the right machine for almost any metalworking process, no matter if your application calls for compact systems to handle smaller deburring tasks or more powerful models that can be used to support large-scale production.
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.

The type of work that an industrial tumbler machine performs can be placed into three categories, in ascending order of smoothness:
The three types of work that centrifugal barrel-finishing machines can do are known as steps. You may not need to perform all the steps depending on the surface finish requirements of your product. There may be one step, two steps or three steps in your process.
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:
As a general rule, darker media cuts more quickly than lighter ones. If the material is very dark, it is likely that it will be fast-cutting using a more aggressive tool. It is more likely that lighter media will be used for mildly abrasive finishing of mass.
With a mass finishing product from Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc., you don't just get a machine, you are choosing an all-around, worry-free package. In-house production of mass finishing equipment and media, customer focused designs, our own trained service and application technicians, spare parts, waste water recycling and reline service, all make Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass finishing equipment a comprehensive and sustainable concept for our customers.
Mass finishing is a set of manufacturing processes that applies surface finishing to large quantities of parts simultaneously. In mass finishing, loose metal parts are placed in a container, and the motion of the container creates friction on the metal surface. This friction results in a cutting action on the metal surface, which can vary from heavy grinding to fine polishing.
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.
