Continuous Vibratory Finishing and Deburring

Systems for High Production Precision Deburring and Finishing

Thru-feed machines are integrated with material handling systems including an oscillating parts-media separator, incorporating a secondary “fines” removal deck and a media return conveyor for complete automatic processing of high production parts. Parts may be fed into the machine at short intervals, direct from preceding operations.

Systems are ideally suited for incorporating washer, dryer, or rust-inhibiting operations. These systems are specifically designed for processing parts on a thru-feed basis, requiring process cycles from 3 to 20 minutes, depending on part size and finishing demands. Almco also offers steel media finishing for deburring or burnishing with a thru-feed vibratory system.

Media falls to secondary deck, which again screens media to remove any foreign particles or contaminates. The screened media then travels up the return media conveyor to re-enter the vibratory processing tub.

These machines are excellent to incorporate with optional automatic parts load and unloading mechanisms for increased efficiencies.
