SBB Series Vibratory Finishing Bowls

The SBB Series Vibratory Bowls are manufactured by our sister company, ALMCO. They are well-suited for both through-feed and batch processing of parts. SBB stands for “spiral bottom bowl,” as these bowls have a large, curved processing chamber. The chamber is positioned below the screening section, allowing parts to travel around the bowl till discharge. This series can be equipped with an air-operated discharge door for a more-automated system.

SBB Series Basic Operation

The SBB Series vibratory bowl functions through a vibrating motion that enables small abrasive media to interact with parts for finishing. The bowl is loaded with a blend of media, water, and compound that assists in the finishing process. While the bowl vibrates, the media in the mixture grinds against the parts, ensuring a consistent and uniform finish. The larger curved processing chamber allows parts to travel around the bowl during batch processing. Equipped with a separator screen, media falls back into the bowl during part discharge. When equipped with an air-operated discharge door, these machines may be used in an automated system, eliminating the need for most manual intervention.
