Overview
Tub finishers are powerful and versatile vibratory finishing machines that are ideal for lower quantity, higher value parts, ranging in size from large wing spars for the aerospace industry to medium hydraulic manifold blocks for the agricultural sector, as examples. They are suitable for a wide range of finishing results, including: deburring, cleaning, polishing, descaling, de-rusting, brightening, smoothing, degreasing and more. Based on cubic foot capacity, no other style finisher provides the channel width of a tub finisher. The tub finisher is a horizontal, rectangular process chamber that rolls the mass utilizing vibration. This creates a dual action effect that transmits its force through the media and into the parts. The first action is the vibration abrading the parts as it is powering the roll. The roll is the second action which creates a tumbling motion which further impinges the parts. Our tub finisher drive consists of a premium efficiency motor that powers an offset drive shaft with easily adjustable weights. The weights can be adjusted to increase or decrease the aggression of the machine. In combination with the customizable compartment dividers, this feature ensures a high quality, precise surface finish without impingement.

Advantages

There are several advantages of the tub finisher over a standard, round vibratory finisher.

The rectangular vs. circular process chamber allows for a much larger capacity given the same volume. For example, a 5 cubic foot bowl finisher might have a 10” channel width, whereas the same size tub finisher would have a 17” channel width. This allows for larger parts to be run.
The greater channel width allows for more depth of mass, which creates more compression and greater deburring within the same volume.
The tub finisher’s innovative design also lends itself to being compartmentalized easily with dividers which allows for part segmentation. This feature is significant when treating larger, more sensitive, higher value components which must not impinge on each other during processing.
The consumable expense to run the tub finisher process (media wear, compound used and electricity) is much less than when compared to hand finishing and using bonded abrasives. Additionally, there is a safety factor, and it eliminates the inconsistency of hand deburring.
