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.

The fastest and most cost-effective way to deburr and/or polish large amounts of metal parts is by using centrifugal barrel tumble machines. A centrifugal barrel finishing device, also known as an industrial tumbler and rotary tumbler, uses a cyclical sliding motion to grind the metal surface. A type of mass finishing, centrifugal barrel finish is one.
The principle of a centrifugal barrel tumbler is similar to that of a Ferris wheel. Smaller baskets are mounted along the edges and sides of large wheels. The centrifugal finishing system or harperizing machine has four barrels. Each barrel represents a seat on a Ferris Wheel and one large flywheel. Each revolution of the flywheel causes one barrel to turn. The flywheel's speed generates high centrifugal forces that can exceed 15 to 20 times the force gravity. This causes the contents to slide against one another under high pressure. The increased pressure allows metal parts to be processed quickly and can also ensure consistent, smooth finishes.

Are you frustrated by flat parts Flat parts such washers pose the biggest challenge in centrifugal barrel finish. They can stick to or wick together on the barrel sides, so only one side is deburred. Add glass bead blasting media into the centrifugal-barrel finishing process. The beads coat parts so that they won't stick together or to the barrel. Glass beads are also great for parts that may be difficult to separate.
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.
Every Triumph trimmer features stationary or movable transparent Lexan safety guards. All models are tested by independent safety labs and comply with all applicable international safety regulations. Triumph trimmers are certified under a quality management system established in all company areas under the DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 standards.
Our selection of dry metal machines provides solutions for a variety of applications, including graining, deburring, finishing, oxide removal, dimensioning, edge radiusing, and grinding. Depending on the types of materials that require processing, we offer either wet or dry metal machine configurations. We recommend dry machines for grinding processes due to the reduced levels of grit and coarse grit in environments where the temperature isn�t a major factor.
To create sliding friction, barrel tumblers combine rotary motion with abrasive media. You can imagine putting rocks in a barrel and then rolling it downhill. As the parts slide against each other, the deburring and polishing takes place.
The law of attraction between positively and negatively charged particles underpins the finishing technique of applying a coating to a metal surface. The paint is usually positively charged, while the support to be painted is negatively charged because it is wired to a strong electric field.
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.
Finishing mortars and concretes; natural and artificial masonry materials; decorative ceramics; materials and items made of wood, paper, glass, plastic, and metals; and paints and varnishes are the most common finishing materials used in modern construction.
