Tumble blasting systems remove rust and scale, remove hard to reach burrs, produce either bright or dull texture finishes and prepare a surface for bonding. The process is very simple: load the parts, set the timer and, at the end of the cycle, open the trap door to unload the parts, which drop onto a sloped ramp and discharge into a tote pan. Tumble blasters can remove tough flash, light burrs and heavy scale or rust from recesses, create even, texturized surfaces, perform tough cleaning jobs and mask imperfections. Tumble Blasters can replace hand operations and do the jobs barrel tumblers and vibratory tumblers cannot do, such as die-castings with internal flash, encapsulated and thermoset plastic parts with flash and precision parts with hard to reach burrs. Here's how simple it is: Load the parts through the front opening.Close the door, which places the gun in position.Set the timer and start.When complete, open the cabinet door and the bottom tumbler door. The parts will drop down into a catch pan.While tumble blasting is restricted to relatively small parts, it can perform the same tasks as standard blasting equipment. It also has the advantage of processing many parts at the same time, unattended. The random tumbling action presents all reachable areas to the blast stream, producing even results. By controlling the pressure, blast media, and time cycle, a broad range of jobs can be done, achieving consistent, predictable results. The TB-1 Mini-Blaster can deflash, deburr and descale, since the blast stream is directed into the tumble basket.Tumble Blasting is faster than vibratory and tumble finishing. It will reach areas that other methods cannot touch. There is less labor because no separation from media is necessary.Some of the materials that can be used in the machine are: aluminum oxide, white aluminum oxide, urea and other plastic abrasives, corn cob grit, walnut shell grit, glass beads, pumice, crushed glass grit, silicon carbide, steel grit and steel shot.The TB-1 is an inexpensive machine specifically made to solve small part problems utilizing minimal production space.
