This centrifugal finishing and polishing machine is a "work-horse" for the medical, aerospace, precision machined component and additive manufacturing industries. It's high-intensity finishing action can minimize hand-deburring and produce super-isofinished surfaces in a fraction of the time required by other finishing methods.
Below, see some of the features of the HZ-85 Centrifugal Iso-Finishing Machine:
To see this equipment in action with a high-speed and hands-free polishing process see the video shown below:
DESCRIPTION and SPECIFICATIONS: Model HZ-85 Centrifugal Barrel Finishing Machine
The HZ-85 is a full sized industrial finishing machine. This CBF machine can be fully customized with a touchscreen control panel, parts separator, drain pan and infrared safety curtain.
HZ High Energy series Centrifugal Barrel Finishing (CBF) systems from Mass Finishing are the fastest and most economical form of finishing machine available. They are the industry workhorse in polishing, deburring and deflashing parts. From jet engine blades in the aerospace industry to heart valves and medical implants, these tumbling machines are the versatile and money-saving solution for polishing and deburring.
No Heavy Lifting Required
With the included barrel lid-lifting system, you can easily lift off your barrel lids. This eliminates the need for excessive force when loading and unloading the machine.
Isotropic or Iso Finishing
In a matter of minutes this deburr tool can clean up metal, acrylic or rubber parts are finished in what could take hours or even days by hand. The finish achieved by these machines is isotropic, meaning parts are polished uniformly and evenly, something that cannot be achieved by hand.

WHAT WE DO... I am a deburring and surface finishing specialist, consultant and advisor to SME's [Society of Manufacturing Engineers] Technical Community Network. The focus of my activity is assisting manufacturers and machine shops with reducing their dependence on hand or manual deburring and finishing methods, and helping them to upgrade the edge and surface finish quality of their parts. I currently work from Norwich, NY but I assist clients nation-wide. I can arrange for free sample processing and process development for your challenging deburring and finishing needs and can provide you with either contract finishing services or the in-house capability to produce improved hands-free finishes on precision parts. I can be contacted at 509.563.9859 or ddavidson@deburring-tech-group.com. Let me know if I can be helpful.
