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.
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.
There are four options for working heads. Our machines can be customized with a range of rotating brushes and abrasive belts.
Perfect for digital applications, the GoCrease creasers allow documents printed on heavy or coated stock to be creased prior to folding, creating a crisp more accurate fold with no cracking
The centrifugal barrel tumble machines are particularly well-suited for removing large burrs and blending lines that can be caused by machining. These machines are also excellent for polishing and burnishing. Centrifugal barrel machines can be used with various kinds of ceramic or organic media (e.g. corn-cob), and can achieve almost any surface finish, from super-fine polishing to burr removal.
You have a number of performance enhancing options for the FC10. The corner stapler attachment allows you to staple up to 10 sheets at one time. Mobility is made easy by the sturdy base on casters. Underwriters Laboratories has certified the FC 10 in Canada and the US.
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:
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.
The 2000-Series machine series is designed for heavier production. They are designed to handle such applications as deburring, slag grinding, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing, paint/surface preparation, finishing/polishing or a combination of these applications.
Mass finishing is a set of manufacturing processes that applies surface finishing to large quantities of parts simultaneously. In mass finishing, loose metal parts are placed in a container, and the motion of the container creates friction on the metal surface. This friction results in a cutting action on the metal surface, which can vary from heavy grinding to fine polishing.
The speed of the centrifugal barrel tumble machine can be adjusted by the operator. This control allows for finer finishing, polishing and edge smoothing at lower speeds and more aggressive deburring at higher speeds.
There are many choices, so it is important to choose the right media. Incorrect media can lead to serious problems such as media getting stuck in the part, or even damaging it.
In a centrifugal barrel tumbling machine, the operator can adjust the speed of tumbling. This level of control allows for finer finishing and polishing at lower speeds, and aggressive deburring and edge smoothing at higher speeds.
