A centrifugal barrel tumbling machine is the most efficient and cost-effective method of deburring large numbers of metal parts and/or polishing them at once. Also called an industrial tumbler, circular tumbler, or harperizer, the centrifugal bar finishing machine uses a sliding action to grind metal surfaces. One type of mass finishing is centrifugal bar finishing.

In-house production of mass finishing equipment and media, customer focused designs, our own trained service and application technicians, spare parts, waste water recycling and reline service, all make Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. mass finishing equipment a comprehensive and sustainable concept for our customers.
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.
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.
Digital applications will love the GoCrease cresers. These creasers allow documents printed from heavy or coated stock to have their edges creased before being folded, creating crisper folds with no cracking
It is vital to use the correct tumble media for centrifugal finishing. The wrong media, especially with the wrong geometry, can significantly increase the time it takes to complete a cycle. The use of cones or rings for tumbling media can reduce processing time by a significant amount.
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:
For centrifugal barrel finish, it is essential to use the correct tumbling medium. The wrong media, and especially the wrong geometry can increase the cycle time of parts. Processing time can be significantly slowed down by using cones and cylinders for tumbling media if they aren't needed.
Surface Finishing Machine has a metallic bowl that holds media, water, and finishing compounds.
Finishing processes can be used to improve the following characteristics: appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tarnish resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, hardness, modify electrical conductivity, remove burrs and other surface flaws, and control surface friction.
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.
