Centrifugal Disc versus Centrifugal Barrel: Feature by Feature
This page reproduces the published feature-by-feature comparison of the centrifugal disc and the centrifugal barrel: working principle, batch visibility, action character and the rest. These describe how the two machine types differ. No cycle time, capacity, throughput, price or result is stated, implied or supplied, and a feature difference is not a suitability verdict for your part.

Feature, centrifugal disc and centrifugal barrel
| feature | centrifugal disc | centrifugal barrel |
|---|---|---|
| Working principle | Open bowl, spinning base disc + stationary side discs | Sealed drums on a rotating turret (planetary motion) |
| Batch visibility | Fully visible; samples removable mid-cycle | Sealed — check only at cycle end |
| Action character | Rolling toroidal flow; aggressive but controllable | Maximum sliding/rubbing intensity |
| Batch size | Small to medium | Medium to larger (sum of all drums) |
| Unloading | Bowl tilt or bottom door, quick manual discharge | Drum doors discharge onto separator |
| Typical parts | Small flat/short parts: fasteners, stampings, jewelry, watch parts | Small-to-medium bulk parts: gears, machined blanks, castings |
| Process control | Speed adjustable; visual process monitoring | Turret and drum speeds adjustable; fully enclosed |

Frequently asked questions
Does the comparison tell me which machine fits my part?
No. It describes how the two machine types differ. A feature difference is not a suitability verdict for your part; test on a sample and confirm with the supplier.
Which one is better?
Neither by default. One is open and visible with samples removable mid-cycle; the other is sealed and shows you the result at cycle end. Which matters depends on how you sample and qualify a part.
Does it state a cycle time, capacity or price?
No. No machine model, capacity, throughput, price or result is stated or implied anywhere on this page or in its download.
Does it diagnose my part?
No. A row describes a machine type or a feature difference. Confirm suitability for your part on a sample trial.
Are the tables quoted exactly?
Yes. Every cell is taken from a single source table cell and verified against the captured page, including units, ranges and punctuation.
