buy centrifugal finishing machine UK - reduced cycle time

When precision, speed, and surface quality matter most, centrifugal high energy finishing machines stand out. At ActOn Finishing, we help manufacturers streamline production with advanced surface finishing technology designed for high-performance industries.

If you’re an Operations Director or CEO aiming to optimise your finishing workflow, here are the top three reasons to buy centrifugal finishing machine UK from ActOn Finishing.

 

1. Achieve a Mirror Finish in Record Time

Speed matters in modern manufacturing. With ActOn’s centrifugal high energy machines, finishing that would traditionally take 60 – 90 minutes in a vibratory system can be completed in just 10 – 15 minutes.

These mirror finish machines operate with intense centrifugal force, which dramatically increases the media-to-part contact. This results in:

  • Ultra-smooth surfaces.
  • High-gloss cosmetic finishes.
  • Improved Ra values.

Whether you’re polishing medical implants, aerospace parts, or precision components, these machines deliver elite surface quality with speed.

Key Takeaway:

  • Reduced cycle time = lower production costs + higher throughput.

 

2. High-Efficiency Design

Factory floor space is at a premium. ActOn’s centrifugal systems offer a high output, making them ideal for lean operations.

Our CE-certified CHE machines feature:

  • Removable barrels and liners for tailored processes.
  • Safety feature: door interlocking safety switch.
  • Integrated Temperature Monitoring System to ensure that any overheat within the barrels will result in the machine coming to a stop to prevent any damage to the liners.
  • A PLC operated program with 100 recipes.
  • Compound dosing system.
  • Optionally an integrated media and parts separation system and waste water management options.

They also support a wide range of part materials, including:

  • Hard and soft metals.
  • Plastics.
  • Ceramics.
  • Wood.

Our centrifugal high energy machines can handle both small delicate parts and harder, more complex geometries with precision.

 

3. Proven ROI and Productivity Gains

Our clients report significant improvements in:

  • Part quality.
  • Finishing uniformity.
  • Operator efficiency.

By investing in a centrifugal machine, you’re not just speeding up the finishing process. You’re reducing labour costs, minimising defects, and boosting your production capacity.

 

Case Study

We finished in the CPM10 3d printed parts for The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) and the results are:

  • A Ra of sub 1μm in 5 hours, 80% faster than traditional finishing.
  • 46% cost savings on the finishing process.
  • The project provided further information regarding surface finish parameters, component weight loss, media weight loss, effectiveness of using media with different abrasive grades and hardness.

Ruaridh Mitchinson, Research Engineer at The MTC comments:

“The CPM-10 has provided invaluable insight into finishing both EBM and SLM AM parts. This has provided the MTC with a low cost means to efficiently and effectively conduct R&D into surface finishing of additive manufactured parts.”

It’s no surprise more manufacturers are choosing to buy centrifugal finishing machine UK from ActOn to replace or complement traditional vibratory systems.
