PROCESSES
TUMBLE FINISHING
Highly efficient processing
Tumble finishing is used to remove burrs from metal components. It is carried out in circular vibratory machines filled with different types of preformed abrasive media. This process is often used to prepare metal parts for subsequent finishing treatments such as painting, nickel plating, and others.
It can also be used as a final finishing process, for example for die-cast components in the automotive industry. Tumble finishing is performed using automatic machines equipped with abrasive plastic cones for deburring.
The metal surface of the product is impacted by the abrasive cones, which remove burrs and imperfections caused by machining or cutting processes.
