Spiral-bottom, round-bowl finishing machine keeps parts in media mass constantly

Almco Inc. has introduced a new model in its line of spiral-bottom, round-bowl finishing machines. It offers a full-circle baffle that keeps parts in the media mass constantly and a 24-cu.-ft. tub that can accommodate large and small parts.

The new SBB design features automatic separation of parts from the abrasive media at predetermined intervals according to finishing requirements. Its separating screen surface is long to permit quick separation of parts and machine unloading.

The SBB-24 can lift and move different parts over the separating dam without jamming or hitting each other on the screen. The tub, with a 1-in.-thick polyurethane lining that protects parts, also can serve as a through-feed or one-pass machine when the dam is held in the up position.
