Mass finishing is a collection of manufacturing processes which apply surface finishing on large quantities of parts at once. Mass finishing is when loose metal parts are placed into a container. The container moves and creates friction that causes friction on the metal surface. This friction leads to a cutting action which can result in any type of polishing or heavy grinding.

The Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. portfolio ranges in mass finishing machines from a basic rotary vibrator, to fully automated surf finishers equipped with robotic equipment. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is a leader in the design and implementation custom-designed systems and processes. Metal, wood, ceramic, and metal...deburring, demulsing, descaling, rust elimination or polishing: The possibilities for Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s mass finishing machines are endless.
A centrifugal barrel parts tumbler eliminates 95% of the manual work involved in polishing or deburring parts by hand. The reduction in hand sorting is a significant improvement on production and return of investment. A centrifugal barrel finisher eliminates the need to use a microscope to find defects and remove any burrs. This reduces waste and costs.
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.

There are many options. However, choosing the right media is not always easy. Unselected media can cause serious problems, including media getting stuck to a part or damaging it.
No matter what your application is, we can help you find the right machine to fit almost any metalworking task.
Air is forced between sheets by the AJ 700 paper jogger to reduce jogging times and prevent static buildup. This allows digital copies and press sheets to be dried right away after printing, to avoid offset. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills have a 2-inch deep drilling capacity and movable tables that are mounted on bearings to ensure precise paper positioning. The tabletop models 25 and 55 have 5 pre-set patterns that can be chosen at the touch of a dial.
The GoCrease creasers, which are ideal for digital applications, allow documents printed on heavy and coated stock to crease before folding. This results in crisper folds that don't crack.

A centrifugal container tumbler works in a similar way to a Ferris Wheel, with smaller baskets placed on the edges. A centrifugal finishing device, also known as harperizing, has four barrels. Each of these barrels represents a place on a Ferris wheels and one large wheel. Each revolution on the flywheel results into one complete rotation each barrel. High centrifugal forces are generated by the flywheel, which is fast turning. These forces can generate up to 15 – 20 times the force and gravity of gravity. The contents will slide against each others under high pressure. The increased pressure allows faster processing of metal components and consistent results.
This industry standard is the centrifugal bar finishing system. It can be used with many kinds of metals including aluminum, brass, stainless steels, chrome, titanium, and stainless steel. This type of system is not able to deburr plastic parts as it is too soft.
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.
The law of attraction between positively and negatively charged particles underpins the finishing technique of applying a coating to a metal surface. The paint is usually positively charged, while the support to be painted is negatively charged because it is wired to a strong electric field.
Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
