Boker’s, Inc. Enhances Tumbling Operations with Advanced Centrifuge System for Greater Process Control and Sustainability

Additional capability represents the company’s commitment to quality control and environmental responsibility.

Minneapolis, MN – April 2025 – Boker’s, Inc., 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.

“Maintaining tight control over the variables in the tumbling process is essential for delivering repeatable, high-performance results,” said Tony Kersey, President. “This new centrifuge system allows us to maintain a high degree of reliability in the process, which is especially important for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and med tech that demand tight tolerances and consistent finishes.”

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.

“Our customers have always trusted Boker’s to provide quality components, world-class customer service and fast delivery,” added Kersey, “and enhancing our process with this advanced centrifuge, further reflects our ongoing investment in both technology and responsible manufacturing.”
