Use of the correct tumbling media is crucial for centrifugal barrel finishing. The wrong media, particularly the wrong geometry, can double the cycle time for parts. Using cones or cylinders for tumbling media when not appropriate can slow down processing time significantly.
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.
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.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. bookletmakers, finishing systems, and bookletmakers are known for their speed and versatility. The Sprint series models are well-respected in the print finishing sector for their reliability and performance. The SF2 bookletmaker is a revolutionary use of wire-fed stitching technology, previously available only in larger systems that can cost up to threefold more.
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
These machines are suitable for seven-day-perweek and multiple shift operations. The machines were designed with heavy production requirements in mind. They can be used to fulfill large production needs such as deburring and slag grinding, edges radiusing, paint/surface prep, finishing/polishing, or any combination thereof.
Safety is also improved by using a deburring machine. It reduces repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome that can be caused by polishing and deburring by hand. Handwork is much more comfortable with a centrifugal barrel machine than it is with handwork. Although centrifugal tumblers require that operators manually load each barrel, the machine's high speed makes up for the labor intensity.

Reduce the mess. Regular cleaning is required to remove the sludge from the sludge tank. Here is a way to minimize the mess. To absorb any water left over, drain the water and place horse bedding in the sludge tanks. This makes it easier and less messy to remove the sludge using a shovel.
As a general rule, the darker the media, the faster it cuts. For example, if plastic media is very dark, it’s likely to be fast-cutting with a more aggressive abrasive. Lighter-colored media is more likely to be mild cutting for mildly abrasive mass finishing.
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.
The correct tumbling media is critical for centrifugal bar finishing. The wrong media and particularly the wrong geometries can make it twice as long to finish a part. When appropriate, cones or cylindricals are used for tumbling media. This can dramatically slow down processing times.
Our dry metal machines offer solutions for many applications such as grinding, graining/deburring/finishing, oxide removal, dimensioning/edge radiusing, dimensioning, dimensioning, and other processes. We offer either dry or wet machine configurations, depending on what materials are being processed. Due to the low levels of grit or coarse grit needed for grinding in environments with high temperatures, we recommend dry machines.
These machines are designed for multi-shift and seven-day-per week operations. This machine is designed for the highest production requirements to enable you to meet large production demands.
