Vibratory Round Bowls

Round bowl vibratory machines are extremely versatile for light or aggressive deburring. Available in four different series, each has unique features and covers a broad range of applications.

SBB SERIES

SBB Series

The ALMCO “SBB” series of round bowl vibratory finishing machines are heavy-duty units with many optional configurations. These machines come in three standard sizes. Each machine is configured for the specific application and options selected by the customer. The machines in this series have larger cross-sections and smaller radii than other round bowls of the same volume. The shape of these tubs and the counterweight system give them the ability to be the most aggressive series of round bowl machines.

LR SERIES

LR Series

The ALMCO LR series of round bowl vibratory finishing machines are heavy-duty units with many optional configurations. These machines come in several standard sizes. Each machine is configured for the specific application and options selected by the customer. The machines in this series have smaller cross-sections and larger radii than other round bowls of the same volume. The main benefit of this design is that the time to get once around the tub may be long enough to provide the required finish. In those cases, the parts can be dropped in the tub at one point and discharged before completing a full rotation. This allows continuous-feed operation instead of batch operation.

An additional benefit of these bowls is enhanced discharge of parts either through the automatic separation option or through the tub discharge door. These machines can be used in an automated deburring or finishing system.

VM SERIES

VM Series

The ALMCO VM series offer great part finishing action. These machines have fewer options and simple electrical controls to keep the cost down. Manual interaction is required for loading and unloading. The aggressive action ensures that the results are not compromised.

OR SERIES

OR Series

The ALMCO OR series of round bowl vibratory finishing machines are heavy-duty units with many optional configurations. These machines come in several standard sizes. Each machine is configured for the specific application and options selected by the customer. When equipped with the air-operated discharge door option, these machines may be configured to be part of an automated system, eliminating the need for most manual intervention. This series of round bowl machine is particularly useful for operation with urethane dividers which provide individual processing compartments.
