What Are Finishing Materials

A centrifugal barrel finishing system can also increase consistency in quality. Handwork can only achieve a minimum of 80% acceptance rate. A centrifugal barrel finisher allows you to attain much higher acceptance rates. Furthermore, the surface finish from centrifugal parts tumbling is uniform in all directions unlike hand polishing.

Each of these three types can be completed by centrifugal finishing machines. They are also called steps. There may not be a need for all of these steps, depending on what surface finishes you require. You might have one, two, three, or all of these steps.

The vibratory tumbler uses a side-to–side motion to shake a tub or bowl in a circular pattern, much like the rock polishing kit that many of us used as children. As the media and parts are sheared against each other, the finishing takes place in a scrubbing motion.

A centrifugal barrel tumbler for parts can cut down on the amount of hand work involved in deburring and polishing by hand by 95%. This decrease in hand sorting greatly increases production, and the return on investment. A centrifugal barrel finishing machine reduces the amount of time and effort required to inspect each part and remove any imperfections.

Remember to use the detergent. The tumbling medium requires the use of cleaning compound. Cleaning compound acts as a lubricant to keep pores in the tumbling material open. The cutting action of the Tumbling Media will not work if the pores have become glazed. This can cause metal parts to turn black. If the parts are blackened, it means that the soap has not been used.
