COV253TUM
Description:
The Triple Gallon Tumbler is a robust, American-made tumbling machine manufactured by Covington Engineering. This unit features three solid LLDPE barrels constructed from durable linear low-density polyethylene, ensuring longevity and resistance to chemical degradation. The machine utilizes a 1/6 horsepower motor powered by 110-volt, 60-hertz electrical current. The chassis is constructed from cast aluminum and steel with a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. The tumbler incorporates raised ridges inside each barrel that prevent material sliding and promote faster, more efficient grinding and polishing action. The rotary speed is preset at the factory to ensure optimal abrasion and polishing performance. Each barrel can be removed easily for inspection and cleaning. The unit ships complete with a belt guard, comprehensive instructions, and a product guarantee.
How It Is Used:
The Triple Gallon Tumbler is essential equipment for lapidaries and gemstone enthusiasts who need to process and polish stones, glass, and similar materials. The three-barrel configuration allows simultaneous tumbling of different materials or stages of the polishing process. The raised ridge design inside the barrels creates a unique tumbling action that accelerates the grinding and polishing stages compared to smooth-barrel designs. This tumbler is ideal for processing larger quantities of material and is commonly used by professional lapidaries, educational institutions, and serious hobbyists who require consistent, high-quality results.
Dimensions:
40 inches length x 14 inches width x 10 inches height. Total capacity is approximately 36 pounds, with each barrel holding approximately 12 pounds of material.
