TUMBLE BLASTERS, Tumble Barrels, and Tumble Basket Machines
Tumble barrel blaster cabinets and basket blaster cabinets allow blasting of batch loads automatically using random mixing. Two types of tumble blaster machines exist, barrel and basket, and the fastest processing is attained using a tumble barrel design with three directional part mix. The faster you mix, the shorter the processing time using one gun size of only 50 CFM of compressed air. This prevents part nicking and damage during processing. Larger parts that can’t tumble, parts normally longer than five inches, use the slower more cost-effective tumble basket processing. Media Blast manufactures a large line of tumble barrel and basket units all including variable speed drives and a large support shaft for long service as well as the right barrel speed for different part shapes and sizes. Because all Tumble Barrels are sold as options, they can be added to any Industrial Machine Model and include everything needed for part processing fully assembled.
