Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. will go to great lengths for you to ensure that you have the right parts to keep your machines running smoothly.
In ascending order of smoothness, there are three types of work an industrial tumbler machine does.

Tumbler media is the abrasive used in mass finishing that grinds away the burrs and cutting lines on a metal surface. Tumbler media comes in many shapes and forms.
For polishing large amounts of metal, the fastest and most cost effective method is to use a centrifugal barrel-tumbling machine. Also known as an industrial tumbler or rotary tumbler system, a centrifugal finishing machine uses the cyclical sliding action of a rotating barrel to grind the metal surface. Centrifugal barrel finishes are a form of mass finishing.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. bookletmakers, and finishing systems are known for speed and versatility. Our Sprint series models have an excellent reputation in the industry for reliability and performance. The SF2 bookletmaker features wire-fed stitching technology which was only possible in larger systems up to three times the price.
No matter how many steps you have, each step must be done separately. You cannot do polishing and deburring at the same time. Deburr first and then polish. If more than one step must be done, each step should be completed in ascending order of smoothness. Deburring first, then polishing last.
At Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc., we offer top-quality abrasive finishing solutions to meet our customers’ individual application and material requirements. Our machines complete various tasks depending on the application, including deburring, slag grinding, edge rounding, calibrating, and finishing. Among other metal finishing machines, we offer dry metal machines, which function in many applications and provide numerous benefits.
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.
Our dry-metal machines are available to industries in metalworking, woodworking and plastics. It allows for more uniform and effective finishing processes. To help our customers achieve the best finish, we distribute our products across North America.

A polishing machine smoothens rough surfaces on a product to improve its aesthetic and technical characteristics...
The principle of a centrifugal barrel tumbler is similar to that of a Ferris wheel. Smaller baskets are mounted along the edges and sides of large wheels. The centrifugal finishing system or harperizing machine has four barrels. Each barrel represents a seat on a Ferris Wheel and one large flywheel. Each revolution of the flywheel causes one barrel to turn. The flywheel's speed generates high centrifugal forces that can exceed 15 to 20 times the force gravity. This causes the contents to slide against one another under high pressure. The increased pressure allows metal parts to be processed quickly and can also ensure consistent, smooth finishes.
Metal finishing is the process of altering an object's surface in order to improve its appearance and/or durability. Metal finishing is related to electroplating, which is the electrodeposition of a thin surface coating of metal onto another.
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.
The Inovatec Automatic Surface Finishing Machine has a PLC control system that allows you to control the entire surface finishing process. It is a completely automated and labor-saving solution. Suitable for deburring and polishing a large batch of small parts at once.
