Material Finishing Machines Kit

In a centrifugal tumbling machine, an operator can control the speed of the tumbling. This control allows finer finishing and polishing at lower speeds as well as aggressive deburring, edge smoothing, and edge grinding at higher speeds.

Mass finishing is a combination of several manufacturing processes that finish large quantities of parts simultaneously. When a mass finisher uses loose metal parts, friction is created by the container's movement. This friction creates a cutting action that can be applied to the metal surface. It can be anything from heavy grinding, fine polishing, or even heavy grinding.

Use of a deburring machine also contributes to worker safety, since it reduces the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome associated with deburring and polishing by hand. The centrifugal barrel machine is far more ergonomic than handwork. While centrifugal tumblers do require operators to load each barrel manually, the high speed of the machine makes up for this labor intensity.

Do not forget to add the detergent. Although you might believe that the cleaning compound is only for metal parts, the detergent is essential for the tumbling media. Cleaning compound provides lubricity that keeps pores open in the tumble media. The cutting action of the tumble media stops working if the pores become clogged. Metal parts will turn black. You have probably forgotten to add the soap if the parts turn black.

You can have up to four heads on our machines. We also offer the option of customizing them with rotating brushes, abrasive bands, and oscillating discs depending on your specific application.
