IntroductionThe Roto-Max® is a high-speed, high-energy centrifugal disc finishing system designed for deburring, surface improvements, descaling, and finishing parts made of metal, rubber, or plastic. It is engineered to machine tool specifications and offers a significant reduction in vibratory process cycles.
Technology and DesignThe system utilizes a motor-driven, saucer-shaped rotor within a processing chamber. Both the rotor and the stationary lower ring are coated with high-impact resistant polyurethane. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed disc rotation moves the media and parts efficiently, making the process up to 15 times faster than traditional vibratory finishing.
Up-Flow® SystemThe patented Roto-Max® Up-Flow® system uses pressurized solutions to lubricate the seal gap, preventing abrasive particles from entering and increasing seal life. This system also stabilizes the rotor through hydrostatic balancing and ensures efficient drainage of contaminants.
Features- Seal design accommodates various parts and media sizes.
- Choice of smooth or ribbed polyurethane lining.
- PC control panel with process timer and hour meter.
- 1800 rpm, 230/460 V, 3 phase, 60 Hz main drive motor.
- Helical bevel gearbox and electrically controlled compound solution system.
Benefits- Faster processing compared to traditional methods.
- Reduced part damage due to cooler, cushioned mass.
- Extended rotor service life due to unique seal design.
- Wide range of surface finishes achievable.
Models and OptionsRoto-Max® Up-Flow® units are available in 1, 2, 3, and 6 cubic-foot models, with options for fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual systems. Dry finishing systems are also available.
Accessories and SuppliesRoto-Finish offers a variety of screens, media, and compounds tailored for the Roto-Max® system. All compounds are biodegradable.
Support and ServicesSpecialists are available for process evaluation and technical support. The company offers a free sample finishing service to demonstrate the system's efficiency.
ConclusionThe Roto-Max® Up-Flow® design is a patented, efficient solution for centrifugal disc finishing, offering superior performance and durability compared to older down-flow designs.
