Mass finishing, a high-quality finishing process
Definition and principles of mass finishing
Mass finishing (in French “tribofinition”, derived from the terms “tribology” and “finishing”) refers to a set of techniques used to improve the surface finish of parts. The process consists of rotating the parts to be treated in a drum or a vibratory bowl in the presence of abrasive compounds. The combined action of friction, impact and abrasion gives surfaces a remarkable finish, with a smooth and uniform appearance.
Advantages of mass finishing for an optimal finish
This innovative treatment method makes it possible to achieve exceptional results in terms of finishing quality and precision. Compared with traditional machining techniques, mass finishing offers many benefits, including better corrosion resistance, reduced residual stresses and longer part service life. In addition, this environmentally friendly process considerably reduces waste and water consumption.
The different types of mass finishing
FINISHTECH offers its expertise in installing mass finishing, deburring, polishing and casting machines. Rösler solutions offer more than 1,000 treatment possibilities, suited to metals, plastics or composites. Among the main techniques are vibratory mass finishing, which is particularly effective for high-precision parts, and barrel finishing, ideal for heavy or bulky parts. Complementary operations such as deburring or tube finishing can also be carried out.
Equipping your workshop with used mass finishing machines
Why choose used equipment?
Acquiring new machines for your workshop represents a colossal investment. That is why many savvy entrepreneurs turn to buying used equipment, which offers excellent value for money. Mass finishing installations, used to carry out polishing,deburring and finishing operations on various materials, are essential but expensive industrial equipment when new. Choosing used mass finishing machines, while taking the necessary precautions, will allow you to make substantial savings without compromising the quality of your production.
The criteria to consider for a wise purchase
Before acquiring a used mass finishing installation, certain criteria should be carefully examined.
First of all, find out about the model and year of manufacture to make sure it is compatible with your specific needs.
Next, check the general condition of the machine, its level of wear and whether certain parts may need replacing. A detailed condition report on the equipment, provided by an approved dealer such as Rösler, will be an additional guarantee.
Finally, make sure that the equipment offered has a processing capacity suited to your production volumes, for example a tank with a usable capacity of 185 liters.
Where can you find reliable used mass finishing installations?
There are many ways to find the ideal used mass finishing machines. You can start by consulting international B2B sourcing platforms such as Europages, which lists more than 40 suppliers specializing in this field. You will thus have access to a wide choice of machines reconditioned by professionals. Another interesting option is to approach companies that offer their services for the installation of fully overhauled second-hand equipment. Finally, FINISHTECH can assist you in acquiring used mass finishing machines.
Examples of high-end used mass finishing installations
Vibratory mass finishing installations
These machines consist of a vibratory bowl that mixes the abrasive components and the parts, ensuring uniform wear. High-end models often have an efficient bag filter that removes fine particles down to 50-100 microns. Some versions also feature a vapor extraction system and heated-air drying for a flawless result.
Rotary mass finishing machines
This type of machine uses the principle of mixing parts and abrasives in a rotating drum. Their robust steel design allows intensive long-term use. Thanks to their optimized filtration system, these machines considerably reduce dust emissions for a healthier environment.
Turntable mass finishing machines
Opt for a rubber belt shot blasting machine if you are looking for a flexible and versatile solution. This machine is based on a rotating table driving a belt on which the parts are placed. As they move, the parts are subjected to the action of projected granules for a shot blasting and polishing effect. Finally, their blower system allows the finished parts to dry quickly.
Servicing and maintenance of used mass finishing machines
The importance of regular servicing
Meticulous monitoring of the condition of used mass finishing machines is essential to guarantee their proper long-term operation. Neglect in this area can quickly lead to malfunctions that are costly to repair.
FINISHTECH, which specializes in selling these machines, stresses the need for rigorous servicing according to a defined schedule. As an expert in installing this type of equipment, it also emphasizes compliance with the recommended maintenance procedures to optimize the service life of key components.
Key points to monitor for optimal longevity
Among the essential elements to check regularly are the condition of the gears, blades and other wear parts.
Drive systems, whether electric or hydraulic, must also be thoroughly checked in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations. Particular attention must be paid to the timely replacement of consumables such as abrasive media or process liquids.
Expert advice for effective maintenance
Industry experts, such as FINISHTECH, which specializes in part finishing techniques, strongly recommend relying on qualified teams with a perfect command of the specific features of these complex installations.
Periodic servicing carried out by trained professionals makes it possible to detect and correct the slightest anomalies before they cause major damage. Manufacturers generally offer suitable maintenance contracts, with scheduled visits and permanent technical support to best assist users in managing their installed base.
