Tumbler Machine

The TUMBLER blast range of machines is designed to automatically blast clean or treat batches of small to medium sized components and offer a more cost effective alternative to usi9ng a hand blast cabinet. Components are loaded into the drum where they are slowly tumbled under a stream of media which is delivered by adjustable blast guns. The TUMBLER range can be operated with a wide range of blast media including plastics, vegetable matter, glass bead and alumina. Chilled iron grit and steel shot may also be used in pressure fed systems. At the end of each timed cycle, the drum continues to rotate to remove media from the components and the drum. At the same time air wash guns are brought into operation to help remove any last traces of dust or media. Parts may be removed either manually from the drum or via a discharge chute which is available as an optional extra,

WHAT SORT OF EXTRACTION IS SUPPLIED AS STANDARD/DO I NEED?
