Centrifugal Barrel Machines

High Energy Barrel Machines also known as High Energy Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machines are very versatile machines. These machines can process parts in either wet or dry Finishing with a variety of medias and compounds. Results range from the finest finishes on jewelry and high quality machined parts, to very aggressive deburring. High Energy Centrifugal Barrel Finishing is a high speed process offering complete uniformity, exact quality control and precision results.
The "g" forces produced in these Centrifugal Barrel machines results in less part on part impingement than often encountered in tumbling barrels or vibratory finishing equipment. Parts can be finished or deburred more than twenty times faster than a conventional tumbling barrel and about eight times faster than vibratory finishing machines. Applications for Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machines vary from small and miniature pieces to large parts, that would otherwise require extensive hand finishing. Very small abrasive medias that do not work well in tumbling barrels or vibratory machines, because of the very slow cut or finish,are very well suited for High Energy Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machines.

The Grav-i-Flo Gyra Finish machine is a Centrifugal Barrel Machine. The machine consists of a rotating turret on which four cradles with quick acting locks are mounted, in which either hexagonal barrels or round barrels made of molded polyurethane are loaded into. As the turret rotates, the barrels turn in the opposite direction. This unique motion develops strong centrifugal force in each barrel, resulting in an extremely high rate of work, due to the "weight increase" of the tumbling mass. these machines are heavily constructed to withstand the "g" forces generated by the machine.

Centrifugal Barrel Machines are used in many types of manufacturing. Examples, Dental Labs, Dental Instruments, Medical Devices, Medical Instruments, Areospace components, Precision Manufactured Products, Golf Clubs, Jewelery, Automotive Parts, Firearms, and Fishing Lures.
