OR Series Flat Bottom Vibratory Bowls
Introducing the Original Round Bowl (OR Series) – a standout product from ALMCO that sets itself apart with its unique design accommodating dividers. These dividers create multiple compartments, ensuring individual parts are handled separately to prevent part-on-part contact, thus eliminating the need for additional fixturing.
The OR Series features a curved, polyurethane-lined bowl that fully immerses parts, providing options for both gentle and aggressive deburring. Integrated urethane drain plates and a constant spray system maintain cleanliness as parts rotate within the bowl. Ideal for batch processing, these machines are often paired with an external screener for seamless discharge and separation of parts and media.
When parts and abrasive media are introduced into the flat-bottom bowl, the vibrating action initiates millions of micro-collisions, effectively removing material from edges and corners. A blend of water and finishing compound ensures that residual particles are thoroughly washed away, resulting in a clean, smooth finish. Parts can be conveniently loaded and unloaded from the rotating mass without stopping the machine, optimizing efficiency and workflow.
Key features of the OR Series include wet or dry processing capabilities, a space-saving low-profile design for easy loading and unloading, a curved polyurethane-lined bowl for maximum finishing action, and a variable speed motor for process flexibility. Additionally, optional features such as an automatic lubrication system, flowmeter, carousels and dividers, an air-operated discharge door, and a sound hood further enhance its functionality and versatility.
