18" Harperizers

The High Speed, High Precision Machine that Started the Concept of High Energy Mass Finishing. When first introduced, more than 30 years ago, the process of "Harperizing" revolutionized the finishing industry and began a new technology of high energy mass finishing. The term "Harperizing" is synonymous with this process and the Chas. G. Allen Co. is leading the way  into the future of Centrifugal Barrel Finishing. Today, more than 3000 Harperizers are in service around the world, a testament to their versatility and widespread acceptance.

Innovations such as automated material handling systems, State-of-the-Art electronics and PLC controls have kept the "Harperizer" at the forefront of the mass finishing industry.

Benefits of Harperizing

Harperizers can eliminate hand finishing, increase your productivity and produce a more uniform, consistent finish. Allen's laboratory staff can assist you in developing the proper cycle times, G force, and media selection.

All Harperizers are engineered to meet the demands of industrial environments. Ease of maintenance and serviceability will provide years of dependable operation.

Harperizers produce very high speeds resulting in typical processing times from 5 to 30 minutes reducing the per part cost as well as inventory, lead times, and required floor space.

Parts being processed are continually encased in media during "Harperizing" producing an aggressive, yet gentle action.

Typical Harperizing Applications

The process of Harperizing is used for a wide variety reasons. The following lists most of the typical Harperizing applications.

• Descaling

• Stress Relieving

• Part Deflashing

• Smoothing of Surfaces

• Generating Compressive Stresses

• Deburring

• Material Removal

• Surface Cleaning

• Surface Refinement

• Achieving High Micro Finish

• Pre-Plate and Pre-Paint Finish

The 18" Harperizers are available in both a 2 Barrel Model (2HE-18), and a 4 Barrel Model (4HE-18). They have horizontal axis drums, a machine capacity of 5.6 and 11.2 cubic feet respectively and provide G forces from 3 to 16.
