Sutton: CF Series

The Sutton Centri-Flo machines are specialized heavy-duty spindle-finishing machines designed for high production environments. These large part deburring systems are primarily designed to finish parts such as turbine disks, blades, blisks, and impellers – with the capability of finishing many other types of parts. These machines are able to finish parts much faster than hand finishing. ALMCO offers 3 models of Sutton machines, the CF Series, CFT Series, and CFCA Series. These large part deburring systems differ from each other based on the movement of the tub and spindle.

Ideal for finishing:

  • Large parts
  • Parts with tight tolerances
  • Parts with hard-to-reach areas
  • Parts with long finishing times
  • Parts that can’t be finished by hand
  • Where part consistency is important
This model operates similarly to ALMCO’s Spindle machines, but at much higher speeds. Like the Spindle machine, both the tub and the spindle(s) rotate. In the CF Series, the tub does all the work, and the speed of the tub forces the abrasive media to the outer wall, causing more friction on the part. The high speed leads to a more aggressive finishing process vs. a Spindle Machine.

Equipment Movement:
– Tub: Rotates
– Spindle: Rotates

Spindle Orientation:
– Parallel to the bottom of the tub

Part Diameter

Part Height

Part Weight

Sutton

Up to 55” dia

12” Tall

Hundreds of lbs

Spindle

Under 12” dia

4” Tall

<50 lbs

Note: the chart provided above indicates the size of the parts that fit in the largest Sutton machine. This is not true for each Sutton Series.
