TB-3 Tumble Barrel | Media Blast & Abrasives, Inc.

Most tumble Mediablaster®s today use the same gun to process the barrel or basket full of parts. Parts that can’t be held because they are too small to process or high volumes of small parts are better and faster blasted when using batch loads. This is the function for all tumble basket or tumble barrel machines.

All Media Blast Tumble Barrel Options are listed as sandblast cabinet options unlike the TB-5 Basket model that’s a standard machine model complete. While the option can't be purchased without purchase of a Media Blast® machine model, this does allow the option to be added to the right abrasive delivery model for the application. Wet or Dry, with and without pneumatic conveyor for standard to ultra-fine abrasive. The TB-3 is a bulk processing tumble barrel with fast mix this option includes many additional upgrades to create a dedicated bulk tumble barrel machine.

TB-3 Tumble Barrel - More Information

The TB-3 option makes a full production Tumble Barrel Machine with a special square cabinet design and no manual blasting station or sloped operator window available on a 36”x 36” cabinet layout standard for a compact machine footprint. It uses the largest barrel size, 22-inch diameter, and operates using 50 cfm to prevent part slamming causing part damage.

Because it's a barrel and not a basket it has the fastest random part mixing for the fastest possible cycle time only requiring a 50-cfm blast gun to prevent part damage. The TB-3 uses a 1/2 hp variable speed drive, a 1-1/2" diameter support shaft and a 22-inch diameter barrels for up to 50-pound part loading. This unit normally has a cycle time of 20 minutes for full barrel loads and it’s the shape of the barrel that creates the speed of processing for utility tools, knife blades, and many parts that mix without locking.

The TB-3 is also commonly used to remove heat-treating scale on any parts up to 5” in length to prepare and clean parts for center- less grinding application or surface finish almost any part size and shape in batch loads before final assembly without part color change.

The TB-3 has the largest attached dust collector, 440 sq.ft., and an automatic timed dust collector cleaning cycle. It can also be purchased less dust collector for operation on our 4-cartridge 880 sq.ft. dust collector. Use this with any existing central dust collector, cfm supplied must meet requirements.

Pro Tip: Two, (2), TB-3 Tumble Barrel Machines will out produce one TB-4 tumble barrel and have double the dust collector capacity reducing dust collector maintenance by one-half.
