Our Tumbling Services
Deliver superior surface finishes (Ra 0.4-3.2μm) through our advanced mass finishing systems, achieving 95%+ burr elimination while maintaining ±0.1mm dimensional accuracy across batch sizes from 1-200kg.
What’s Tumbling Service?
A mechanical finishing process utilizing:
Dual-motion systems: Simultaneous rotational (20-30 RPM) and vibrational (15-25Hz) action
Media engineering: Ceramic/alumina abrasives (Mohs 7-9) for ferrous metals vs. plastic/polymer media for delicate components
Process chemistry: Proprietary compound solutions (pH 8.5-10) enhancing material removal rates by 35-50%
