Barrel tumblers use rotary movement with abrasive tumbling media to create sliding friction. Imagine putting rocks into a barrel and rolling it down a hill, and you have the general idea. The deburring or polishing occurs as the parts slide against the media and other parts.

Mass finishing can be done either dry or wet with a centrifugal bar tumbler. Wet processes employ a liquid cleaner, lubricant, or abrasive while dry processes don't. Each barrel holds approximately 50-80% capacity.

Electric Concrete Finishing Machines

A centrifugal barrel parts tumbler eliminates 95% of the manual work involved in polishing or deburring parts by hand. The reduction in hand sorting is a significant improvement on production and return of investment. A centrifugal barrel finisher eliminates the need to use a microscope to find defects and remove any burrs. This reduces waste and costs.

Machines in the 2000-Series are designed to handle heavier production demands. 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Finishes are applied at the end of a construction or manufacturing process to form the final surface of an element. They can protect the element they finish from impact, water, frost, corrosion, abrasion, and other elements, as well as be decorative.
