TUB VIBRATORY FINISHING
Tub style vibratory finishing equipment are a perfect choice for deburring, burnishing or generating a pre-plate finish on a wide variety of parts. These machines work great as a stand-alone operation or designed into a custom system with conveyors and material handling equipment for automatic loading and unloading.
The tub cross-section is designed to maximize the finishing action. These machines are robust, versatile and capable of processing parts in batches or in a through-feed mode using a wide variety of finishing media.
VB SERIES VIBRATORY TUB
Robust & Versatile
The Value Base (VB Series) vibratory finishing tubs are the most cost-effective tubs in ALMCO’s line of vibratory finishing tubs. Offered at a lower price point with fewer options and simpler electrical controls, these straight tub vibratory finishing machines still offer great results. Manual interaction is required for loading and unloading. The aggressive vibratory action guarantees that the parts are finished exactly to your desired specification.
The tub cross-section is designed to maximize the finishing action. These machines are robust, versatile and capable of processing parts in batches using a wide variety of finishing media.
How It Works
When parts and media are placed into the tub, the counterweights on the spinning vibrator shaft cause the spring-mounted processing tub to rapidly oscillate on its springs. This motion causes the mass of parts and media within the tub to vibrate and roll within the tub in an orderly fashion. This rolling action can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the vibrator assembly and by changing the amount of counterweight.

V SERIES VIBRATORY TUB
Robust & Versatile
The V Series Vibratory Tub finishing machines are heavy-duty units with many optional configurations to ensure you get a system that matches exactly what is needed. The V Series may be configured to be part of an automated system, eliminating the need for manual intervention. These uniquely flexible machines produce exceptionally fine results. This uniquely flexible machine produces exceptionally fine results. The V Series tub can finish anything from massive wing spars for aircrafts, to thousands of small parts like stampings in a single batch.

CONTINUOUS THRU-FEED
Robust & Versatile
The Continuous Thru-Feed Series vibratory finishing tubs are known for their ability to process parts at a high production volume. Integrated with material handling systems such as an oscillating parts-media separator and media return conveyor, this series allows for continuous parts processing.
These machines work great as a stand-alone operation or designed into a custom system with conveyors and material handling equipment for automatic loading and unloading.
The tub cross-section is designed to maximize the finishing action. These machines are robust, versatile and capable of processing parts in a through-feed mode using a wide variety of finishing media.
Parts can be continuously fed into the vibratory tub, they are then processed and discharged along with the media onto a screener. The media is then returned to the tub via a return conveyor to the load end of the vibratory tub. Parts can then be transferred down the production line via containers, conveyors, or other means of transportation. This series is excellent to incorporate with automatic parts load and unloading mechanisms for increased efficiencies.
