TMB Layout features. The TMB range combines the mechanical tumbling action on a continuous rubber belt with a high-velocity abrasive stream from top-mounted blastwheel(s). This design is ideal for bulk-load processing, though an engineering analysis is essential to evaluate the "shape factor" and ensure parts can tumble freely without nesting or floating; productivity can be really massive if the load/unload part of the process is engineered for it. The belt MUST be covered
