A polishing machine smoothens rough surfaces on a product to improve its aesthetic and technical characteristics...
A centrifugal barrel tumbling machine works on the same principle as a Ferris-wheel, but has smaller baskets that are attached to the edges. The centrifugal finishing machine or harperizing systems has 4 barrels. Each one represents a seat in a Ferris wheel. One large flywheel is also included. Each revolution of this flywheel produces one complete rotation for each barrel. The flywheel rotates quickly and produces extremely high centrifugal pressures, up to 15 to 20 times greater than the force of gravity. Under high pressure, the contents slide against each other. The increased pressure allows fast processing of metal parts as well as consistent and smooth finishes.
There are many choices, so it is important to choose the right media. Incorrect media can lead to serious problems such as media getting stuck in the part, or even damaging it.
Polishing is typically a dry process that uses ground-up corn cob media with embedded polishing compound. Dry processing can also be done with ground-up walnut shells.
The GoCrease creasers are perfect for digital applications. They allow documents printed on heavy or coated stock, to be folded before folding. This creates a crisper fold without cracking.
No matter what your application is, we can help you find the right machine to fit almost any metalworking task.

It is a rule of thumb that the darker media the better it cuts. Plastic media that is very dark will be faster-cutted with a more aggressive product. A lighter color media is more likely be mildly cut for mass finishing with mildly abrasive abrasives.
A deburring machine can also help worker safety. It lowers the risk of repetitive motion injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, that is associated with polishing by hand. The use of a centrifugal barrel machines is more ergonomic than manual labor. Centrifugal tumblers can be slow and require manual loading. However, this is compensated for by the machine's speed.
Our machines have a longer life expectancy, lower costs, and require less maintenance for finishing or deburring.
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.
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.
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.
