Centrifugal Barrel Finishing

The industry standard in fast polishing and deburring
HZ High Energy series Centrifugal Barrel Finishing (CBF) systems from Mass Finishing are the fastest and most economical form of finishing machine available. They are the industry workhorse in polishing, deburring and deflashing parts. From jet engine blades in the aerospace industry to heart valves and medical implants, these tumbling machines are the versatile and money-saving solution for polishing and deburring.
CBF Machines from Mass Finishing vary in size from the compact, table-top HZ-12 to the super-sized HZ-330. Custom barrel sizes and specifications are available upon request. Check out our HZ Series page for the specifications on the individual models. These finishing and deburr tools are built for heavy use with industrial ball bearings and hot poured polyurethane barrel liners that can stand up to wear of running repeated finishing cycles.
Compact Tumbling Machines
The HZ-12, HZ-30 2S and HZ-40 models make-up the compact line of CBF machines. They feature smaller, removable barrels. By purchasing a second set of four barrels, the operator can run one set of barrels while they are loading and preparing another. This can dramatically reduce downtime on the machine.
The HZ-30 2S CBF Machine from Mass Finishing, Inc.The HZ-12 is popular in the dental industry because of its smaller stature. It works well in small places like dental labs, and packs the same high-end finishing punch of its bigger brothers.

HZ Full-size series
The HZ full-size series provides more than double the capacity and efficiency over the
compact centrifugal barrel tumblers like the HZ-12 and HZ-40. Suitable for components of larger dimeters or larger quantity production runs.
Technical Specifications
Model | Volume (ft) | Barrel Dimensions (Diameter) | Overall Dimensions | Motor |
---|---|---|---|---|
HZ - 60 | .2 cubic | 24 ¾” L x 5 ¾” | 40” x 68” x 90” | 5 hp |
HZ - 80 | 2.6 cubic | 16-¾”L x 8 ½” | 56” x 54” x 76” | 7.5 hp |
HZ - 120 | 4.7 cubic | 17 ¼”L x 10 ¼” | 66” x 54” x 76” | 10 hp |
Oversized Tumbling Machines
The HZ-160 features a 15 horsepower motor with 1.5 more cubic feet of barrel space than the HZ-120. For jobs that require a bigger barrel or a greater overall volume, the HZ-160 offers a great solution. The HZ-220 CBF Machine is a significant jump in size. With barrels that are over two feet wide, this machine can handle larger parts and volume. The HZ330 is a monster of a machine that has been used a variety of select applications.
