TUMBLE-BELT DEFLASHING MACHINE

Our model DEF-TMB-3.5 is an automated machine for deflashing batch loads of thermoset plastic parts. Providing a cost-effective solution for deflashing multiple small parts or complex compression molded parts with medium to heavy flash. The unit has a single wheel capable of delivering a wide variety of plastic medias. Parts are gently tumbled on a variable speed rubber belt under the blast Stream. Cycle times as well as media delivery speed are also variable to suit the deflashing task needed.

The machine has a complete blast media recycling system with airwash separator to remove fine debris from the blast media and an anti-static injection system to control static and dust on the parts. It can be automated with loading and unloading equipment to suit many special processing needs. This type of technology is part of a broader range of deflash equipment that is designed to meet various production needs.
