What is centrifugal barrel finishing?
Centrifugal barrel finishing rotates sealed barrels of parts, media, water, and compound around a central turret at high speed. The turret and barrels rotate in opposite directions at a 1:1 ratio, generating high compression that presses the media against the parts far harder than gravity-based vibratory finishing. Richwood centrifugal barrel machines run about 8 times as efficiently as a vibratory bowl, deburring, radiusing, and polishing parts in a fraction of the time with a uniform, low-stress finish.
How is centrifugal barrel finishing different from vibratory finishing?
A vibratory bowl or tub uses gentle vibration and gravity to move media against parts, which can take 4 to 24 hours. A centrifugal barrel machine multiplies the force through high-speed turret rotation, so Richwood rates its centrifugal barrels at roughly 8 times the efficiency of a vibratory bowl. Centrifugal barrels suit small-to-medium, delicate-to-tough parts and the fastest deburring; vibratory equipment suits large or long parts and gentle bulk finishing.
Which finishing media should I use?
Ceramic media is the most versatile and common choice, available in grades #61 to #69 from light deburring to fast cutting. Plastic media is lighter, used for light cutting, pre-plate, and low-distortion finishing on soft metals. Porcelain suits gentle burnishing, steel media such as T-pins and ballcones burnishes and reaches small features, and XM/XA ceramic nuggets are dense burnishing media. Match media density and shape to your part and the finish you need.
How do I find the Richwood equivalent of another brand's plastic media?
Use the plastic media equivalent chart. It cross-references grades from Almco, Econo, Grav-I-Flo, Polyflow, Rosemont, Superfine, Ultramatic, UM Abrasives, and Vibrafinish to the matching Richwood RP media. Find your current brand and grade and read across to the Richwood equivalent, or call 310.532.1313 with the brand and grade you run and Richwood will match it.
What tumbling compounds does Richwood make?
Richwood offers numbered compounds for four jobs: abrasive cutting compounds (No. 40, No. 42), burnishing and coloring compounds (No. 43 through No. 47X), cleaners and neutralizers (No. 48 through No. 51), and a premium rust inhibitor (No. 55). Each compound has a defined pH and use case, and customers reorder by number. Material Safety Data Sheets are available on request.
Does Richwood offer wastewater treatment?
Yes. Richwood builds wastewater recycle systems that use chemical precipitation to remove heavy metals and meet city and state guidelines. The WW55 (1 gpm, manual) and WW200 (2.5 gpm, semi-automatic) are available for sale or rental, with filter paper and GR 20 Cleartreat treatment supplies for reorder.
