Mass Finishing

Start with vibratory for general batch finishing. ALMCO vibratory tubs roll parts and media through the mass so every surface is worked at once, scaling from a manual tub up to a fully automated, continuous through-feed line. The round bowls add built-in separation for batch or through-feed work, so loose batches come off the bench and into a repeatable cycle you can run shift after shift.

When cycle time matters, step up to centrifugal. The HZ Series centrifugal barrel rides four barrels on the Ferris-wheel principle, multiplying gravity to finish parts far faster than a standard tumbler. The centrifugal disc throws media and parts against the chamber wall to finish up to five to ten times faster than vibratory, running fine finishing at low speed or aggressive deburring and edge radiusing at higher speed for heavier cuts.

For parts that cannot touch each other, spindle finishing locks each part to its own spindle and drives it through the media, holding a fast, consistent, repeatable finish without the part-on-part contact of a loose batch.

For large, high-value aerospace work, the Sutton Series swings and rotates the part through vibrating media, with spindles that angle, oscillate like a pendulum, and reverse mid-cycle to reach the complex geometry of turbine disks, blades, blisks, and impellers.
