High Energy Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine

VC SERIESVC8 SERIES
 


How it works . . . . . .

The VC & VC8 Series machines are equipped with 4 barrels spaced evenly on a heavy duty turret. As the turret is rotated in one direction, the barrels rotate to the opposite direction effecting a 1:1 ratio. when the turret speed exceeds 60 RPM the mass in the barrel is subjected to high compressive forces causing the work mass to slide to the furthest wall of the barrel. The energy created in this process produces finishes up to thirty(30) times faster than conventional methods such as tumbling barrels and vibratory mills.

 

Features

Finishing cycles up to 30 times faster than rotary barrels
Consistent finishes
Easy installation (can work in cells)
Very quiet operation

Optional Features

Variable speed for infinite process control
Separation
Removable "Hot pour" linings
Compartmentized barrels
Automation (VCA Series)

Barrels are inclined to make the distance of the flow longer. The flow of the mass in the barrel is like a figure "8".

Longer flow distance makes the cycle time shorter. The VC8 Series is especially good for edge breaking and interior hole finish.

VC-8 Series Features

  • Twice the efficiency in edge breaking.

  • Media flows well in to holes -- good for interior hole finishing

  • No part-on-part sticking with thin parts.
