The Tumble Blasters, models TB1, TB2, and TB3, are enclosed tumble blasting cabinet systems that have a rotating basket with a sandblast gun aimed into it. The random tumbling action insures that all parts in the basket are completely sandblasted when the cycle is finished. The TB1 (Mini-Tumble Blaster) is a bench top unit that can process about 1 quart of parts; the TB2 can process 2 cubic feet of parts and the TB3 can process 3 cubic feet of parts.

The TB1412 and TB2424 tumbler blasters are designed for high volume automatic tumble blasting of small parts. The large 14" x 12" barrel holds approximately 50 pounds of parts and turns at 6 RPM. The extra-large 24" x 24" barrel holds approximately 150 pounds of parts and turns at 2 RPM. Simply load the barrel, close the door, set the timer, and turn on the dust collector. The barrel slowly turns, gently exposing all parts to the blast stream. When the timer expires, parts are finished and ready for unloading!

All tumble blasting systems feature an automatic timer, an air pressure regulator, an air line filter, a dust collector, one sandblast gun with carbide nozzle, and one blow off gun (TB2 & TB3 only) to remove dust from parts. The tumble blast systems work with

.

Tumble blasting systems remove rust and scale, remove hard to reach burrs, produce either bright or dull texture finishes and prepare a surface for bonding. The process is very simple: load the parts, set the timer and, at the end of the cycle, open the trap door to unload the parts, which drop onto a sloped ramp and discharge into a tote pan.

Tumble blasters can remove tough flash, light burrs and heavy scale or rust from recesses, create even, texturized surfaces, perform tough cleaning jobs and mask imperfections. Tumble Blasters can replace hand operations and do the jobs barrel tumblers and vibratory tumblers cannot do, such as die-castings with internal flash, encapsulated and thermoset plastic parts with flash and precision parts with hard to reach burrs.

Here's how simple it is:

  1. Load the parts through the front opening.
  2. Close the door, which places the gun in position.
  3. Set the timer and start.
  4. When complete, open the cabinet door and the bottom tumbler door. The parts will drop down into a catch pan.

While tumble blasting is restricted to relatively small parts, it can perform the same tasks as standard blasting equipment. It also has the advantage of processing many parts at the same time, unattended. The random tumbling action presents all reachable areas to the blast stream, producing even results. By controlling the pressure, blast media, and time cycle, a broad range of jobs can be done, achieving consistent, predictable results.
