Rotomatic Continuous Flow System

Developed by Inovatec, the Rotomatic is suited for continuous running deburring, grinding, cleaning, deflashing, and other surface treatment applications, all within a relatively small footprint. Every Rotomatic is equipped with Inovatec’s own High-Energy Direct Drive System. The innovative design of the Rotomatic’s processing channel allows first-in/first-out processing with variable cycle times. With Inovatec, you have the largest product range at your disposal. No other manufacturers can offer a comparable selection.

Introduction

Vibratory Finishing Machines are one of the most commonly used processing machinery in the mass finishing field, used for deburring, polishing, descaling, and surface improvement on metal and plastic parts.

The vibratory finishing process application usually combines creative process technology and innovative equipment engineering.

Inovatec vibratory finishing machines have high equipment quality and reliable standards with a functional design. Besides, they offer characteristics of easy operation and a high degree of productivity.

The machinery and system are extremely flexible and versatile mass finishing systems.

It can be used for all metals, plastics, ceramics, rubber, wood, stone, and glass and can help to achieve a wide range of objectives. Excellent results can be obtained for highly delicate and small components as well as for large and robust parts.

Working Principle

Vibratory surface finishing takes place in a work bowl placed on coil springs.  The vibratory energy is induced by a special vibratory motor that is mounted in the center of the work bowl. The vibration creates the typical relative movement of media against parts.

The continuous feeding of water and compound, also known as soap, supports the finishing process.

Frequently, the vibratory finishing machine is equipped with an integrated separation flap and screen. This allows separating the finished parts from the tumbling media in the machine.

Via the separation screen, the parts are transferred to the machine’s exit or to a post-treatment system, for example, a dryer, while the media remains in the machine. Of course, automatic mass finishing machines include different types of material handling systems, along with pre- and post-treatment units are possible.
