A centrifugal barrel tumbler works on a principle similar to a Ferris wheel, with smaller baskets mounted on the edges of a large wheel. A centrifugal finishing machine, or harperizing system, has 4 barrels, each barrel representing a seat on a Ferris wheel, and one large flywheel. Each revolution of the flywheel results in one complete rotation of each barrel. The fast-turning flywheel generates extremely high centrifugal forces, up to 15 – 20 times the force of gravity, causing the contents to slide against each other under high pressure. The increased pressure allows for fast processing times of metal parts, as well as smooth, consistent finishes.

The FC 10 Automatic Collator can be described as one of the most versatile and flexible collators currently on the market. It's reliable and easy-to-use, interfaces well with a number of bookletmakers, such as the Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. Scrams, and SF2 series.

Flat parts making you feel confused? Flat parts, such as washers, present the greatest challenge for centrifugal bar finishing. These parts can stick to the barrel or wick together, so only one side of the barrel gets deburred. You can add glass beads blasting media to the centrifugal bar finishing process. The beads coat the parts, so they don't stick to each other and the barrel. Parts that tend to be coiled together can also use glass beads.

Our dry metal machines serve industries in woodworking, metalworking, composites, and plastics to allow for more uniform and efficient finishing processes. We distribute our products all over North America to corresponding industries in an effort to help them achieve the best possible finish.

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.

Whether your application requires compact systems to complete smaller deburring projects or larger, heavy-duty models to complete several shifts and facilitate large-scale production, we’ll help you locate the right machine for nearly any metalworking process.

Polishing is typically a dry process that uses ground-up corn cob media with embedded polishing compound. Dry processing can also be done with ground-up walnut shells.

Mass finishing using a centrifugal tumbler barrel can be done wet or dry. Wet processes may use a liquid solvent, cleaner, or abrasive. Dry processes do not. Each barrel can be filled with approximately 50 to 80% of its capacity using the following elements:

You will enjoy a longer service life, reduced costs and less frequent maintenance of finishing or deburring with our machines.

The AJ 700 jogger with air-feed paper allows for air to be forced between sheets. This reduces jogging time, eliminates static and powder buildup. This allows digital copies as well as press sheets to be dried immediately following printing to prevent offset. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. drills offer a 2-inch drilling depth and movable table mounts on bearings for precise paper positioning. 5 preset patterns are included in the 25- and 55-inch tabletop models. They can be accessed by turning a dial.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.

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.
