Boker’s, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN), a leading manufacturer of precision metal stampings and washers, has expanded its in-house capabilities with the installation of a state-of-the-art centrifuge system as part of the tumbling and deburring process. This addition is engineered to optimize the deburring process, delivering enhanced consistency, improved surface finishes, and reduced environmental impact—all critical factors for design engineers and procurement teams.

The new centrifuge system is specifically designed to control and maintain the chemistry of the tumbling process by continuously monitoring and adjusting key variables, including water hardness, pH levels, temperature, and concentrations of soaps and chemical compounds. This ensures that components are processed under ideal and consistent conditions, minimizing variation and ensuring the high-quality surface finishes that today’s engineering specifications demand.

Beyond enhanced process control, the centrifuge will result in less environmental impact, as well. The system is designed to filter, separate, and reuse the water, soaps and other compounds used during the tumbling process. By recirculating these consumables, Boker’s has significantly reduced the volume of resources required. Before the centrifuge, the company used the water, soaps and chemicals one time, but now, the water is used consistently for up to three months.
