High Energy Centrifugal Disc Units TT B & TT SM
International Surface Preparation features the Walther Trowal Turbotron B & Turbotron SM Machines.
The rotating spinner (60 – 250 rpm) accelerates the mass of work pieces, media and compound to the wall of the stationary work bowl and pushes the mass upwards along the wall of the work bowl. With decreasing acceleration and increasing gravity, the mass slides back down to the spinner where it is again accelerated.
Features of the Walther Turbotron centrifugal disc machines:
- Optimum dynamic geometry of spinner and work bowl
- Infinite water level control
- Automatic gap control (on some models) can be adjusted within a tolerance of 0.01 mm
- Rinsing of gap prevents premature wear of spinner and work bowl
- Anti-blocking system prevents "seizure" of the spinner
- Additional protection of spinner and work bowl by temperature control in the gap area
Turbotron B Machines
These are stand-alone machines for operation without an integrated loader, screening
machine and media return system. The work bowl is pivoted either manually (TT25
& TT45) electrically (optional on TT25 & TT45) or hydraulically on larger
machines. By providing appropriate peripheral equipment such as loading and separation
devices, a partial degree of automation is also possible.
Turbotron SM Machines
These are pivoted TT systems with an integrated screening machine and media hopper.
When the centrifugal disc finishing process is complete, the system pivots by 135°,
this transports the media and work-pieces onto the screening machine where they
are separated and the media is classified. When the system pivots back into the
processing position, the media slides back from the media hopper and automatically
reloads into the work bowl.
