Are you looking for a matte or satin look? Aluminum oxide blasting media can also be used in your centrifugal bar finishing process. The result will be matte rather than shiny.
For one medical device manufacturer, the design of a citric passivation solution faced two major challenges: The manufacturing process required performing a water-break test after cleaning parts, before proceeding to passivation. This meant that they could not use a fully automated passivation solution. The system had to have data tracking for quality control purposes. Semi-Automated […]
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. provides the most reliable dry metal machines. Our customers receive a range dry metal machines to enhance the safety and reliability of their metalworking applications.
The detergent is essential. While you may think the cleaning compound was meant for the metal parts of the tumble media, it is actually necessary for its use. The cleaning compound helps keep pores open in the tumbling medium by providing lubricity. If the pores of the tumbling medium become glazed, cutting will cease to work. The metal parts will become black. The soap was not used to make the parts black.
When searching for the right dry metal machine for your application, Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers some of the most reliable equipment. We provide our customers with a range of dry metal machines to increase the efficiency, dependability, and safety of metalworking applications.

We are able to customize solutions for our customers in our in-house lab. This allows us the ability to develop a custom, innovative solution.
No matter how many steps your process has, each step must always be completed separately. Deburring and polishing cannot be done simultaneously. Instead, you should deburr first, and then polish. If more than 1 step is needed, the steps should be performed in ascending ordescending order of smoothness. For example, polishing first and deburring last.
The safety of workers is enhanced by the use of a deburring device. This reduces repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. The machine's centrifugal barrel design is far more ergonomic that hand work. The only downside to centrifugal tumblers is that they require operators to manually load each barrel. However, the machine's high speed compensates for this labor intensive.
A centrifugal barrel tumbler can perform mass finishing either wet- or dry. Wet processes use liquid lubricants, cleaners, or abrasives, while dry processes do not. Each barrel is filled to 50-80% capacity with the following elements.
Centrifugal barrel turners are a unique type of barrel tumblers. They use centrifugal force to add to the effects.

Built in a heavy duty construction with a smaller footprint designed to accommodate a job shop with various applications such as deburring, dross removal, calibrating/dimensioning, edge radiusing or finishing.
Metal finishing aids in the reduction of wear and tear on metallic products. Aside from aesthetics, it has a wide range of industrial applications. It helps to improve electrical conductivity, torque resistance, and metal solderability, among other things.
Finishing operations, also known as finishing manufacturing, occur at the end of the manufacturing process, after the part has been formed and secondary processes have been completed.
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.
