TUMBLAST®Barrel Blast Machine (BBM)
The TUMBLAST® Barrel Blast Machine (BBM) is a versatile batch shot blast system designed for the efficient cleaning and surface preparation of small to medium-sized components. Its single-piece barrel construction ensures consistent tumbling and uniform blast coverage, while eliminating pinch points that can cause part damage.
Engineered for high performance and long service life, the Barrel Blast Machine combines a fully welded blast cabinet with abrasion-resistant steel linings for outstanding durability. The barrel tilts for fast loading and unloading, improving operator ergonomics and cycle efficiency.
Built around a high-efficiency Blast Wheel, the BBM delivers rapid cleaning cycles, superior durability, and low operating costs, making it the ideal solution for forges, and heat-treat operations seeking reliable, repeatable performance.
