Almco's Custom Equipment Capabilities Emphasized in Three-Spindle Finishing Machine Literature


ALBERT LEA, Minnesota (December 13, 2010) - Four-color literature that details key features of a three-spindle finishing machine from ALMCO, Inc., and points to the company's custom design and manufacturing capabilities, is now available from the 70-year-old Minnesota firm.

Developed for a long-standing customer, the Model 3SF-72RA provides fast processing of large quantities of complex metal parts that require exceptionally accurate deburring. The three spindles, rather than the normal one or two on other ALMCO machines, can be automatically lowered into the spinning media mass or can be manually operated if desired.

The 72-inch-diameter finishing tub provides adequate space for large or small parts. A 10-HP drive motor powers the variable speed tub, and four solenoid valves control various parts rinsing operations following exit from the rotating tub process chamber.

The literature emphasizes the importance and functions of a hydraulic power package positioned immediately adjacent to the spindle finisher. The package controls the rotary actuator feature and the hydraulically activated tooling, and is complete with a cooling unit for oil temperature management.

For a copy of the literature, or for information about the manufacturer's extensive custom equipment capabilities, contact ALMCO, Inc., 507 West Front Street, Albert Lea, Minnesota 56007. Phone number is 1-800-521-2740; email address is almcosls@almco.com.
