Centrifugal barrel tumblers, a special type of barrel tumbler, adds to barrel tumbling's effects by using centrifugal force.

We have the unique capability to custom design solutions for our customers within our in-house lab, enabling us to create a tailored, innovative solution.

Centrifugal barrel tumbling machines are especially well-adapted for removal of significant burrs and blending lines left by machining. They also offer excellent performance in polishing and burnishing applications. When used with various types of ceramic and organic (e.g., corn-cob) media, centrifugal barrel machines can achieve virtually any part finish from super-fine surface finish polishing to burr removal.

Regardless of the number of steps in your process, each step must be performed separately. In other words, you cannot perform deburring and polishing simultaneously. Instead, deburr first, then polish. If more than one step is required, the steps must be performed in ascending order of smoothness, with deburring first and polishing last.

No matter the number of steps involved, each step should be done independently. This means that you can't do deburring and polishing at the same moment. Instead, first deburr, then polish. If more than one step are needed, the steps must all be done in ascending ordinal order of smoothness.

Flat parts make you feel lost? Flat parts, like washers, pose one of the most difficult challenges in centrifugal-barrel finishing. Parts tend to stick to the barrel and wick together so that only one side can be deburred. To solve this problem, you can add glass bead blasting medium to the centrifugal drum finishing process. The beads protect the parts from sticking to each another and to the barrel. Glass beads can be used for parts that have a tendency to cup together.

Reduce the mess. Regularly clean the sludge. Here's a tip: Place horse bedding in the tank to absorb any remaining water. This makes it easier to use a shovel to remove the remaining sludge.

Centrifugal barrel tumblers are a specialized form of barrel tumblers in which centrifugal force adds to the effects of barrel tumbling.

Are you frustrated by flat parts Flat parts such washers pose the biggest challenge in centrifugal barrel finish. They can stick to or wick together on the barrel sides, so only one side is deburred. Add glass bead blasting media into the centrifugal-barrel finishing process. The beads coat parts so that they won't stick together or to the barrel. Glass beads are also great for parts that may be difficult to separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.
