HZ-6 Basic Operation

The HZ-6 delivers precise, high-energy finishing for small batches of high-value parts in dental labs, medical facilities, and jewelry workshops. Its compact, two-position design supports one full-size barrel or two half-size barrels per position, providing flexibility for different part sizes and batch requirements. Operating at speeds up to 250 RPM and generating forces exceeding 12Gs, it efficiently deburrs, edge-radiuses, and polishes precision components. The digital RPM and time controls let operators adjust finishing intensity for delicate jewelry or tougher materials like stainless steel and cobalt-chrome, all on one compact machine.

Features & Benefits

Compact, Space-Saving Design

Occupying less than 6 square feet, the HZ-6 fits easily on lab benches or in tight workspaces. Locking caster wheels make repositioning simple.

Standard 120V Power

Plugs into a standard 120V outlet without specialized wiring or three-phase electrical service, simplifying installation in labs and workshops.

High-Speed Finishing Performance

Operating at up to 250 RPM and generating forces exceeding 12Gs, the HZ-6 efficiently deburrs, edge-radiuses, and polishes precision parts.

Compatible Barrel Options

Uses the same full-size and half-size latched-end barrels as the HZ-12, allowing processes and recipes to transfer easily as production grows.

Precise Digital Controls

Digital RPM and time settings provide repeatable control over finishing intensity, accommodating different materials and application requirements.

Free Sample Testing

MFI’s sample processing lab develops a custom finishing process for your parts, helping you evaluate results before investing in a machine.

HZ-6 Barrels

Flexible Barrel Options for Precision Finishing

The HZ-6 features two barrel positions, each accommodating one full-size (8.375″ L x 5″ D) or two half-size (3.625″ L x 5″ D) latched-end barrels. Identical to the HZ-12’s barrels, both options support easy process scaling. Full-size barrels handle larger components, while half-size barrels keep smaller parts separated during finishing. An additional barrel set allows continuous operation by preparing the next batch while the current cycle runs.

Footprint	Under 6 sq. ft.	34″ W x 30″ D
Best For	Small batches, process testing, R&D, and jewelry workshops	Higher-volume production, dental labs, and medical device manufacturers

Choose the HZ-6 if you’re new to centrifugal barrel finishing, process smaller batches, or need a compact, cost-effective solution. It delivers the same finish quality as the HZ-12 with half the barrel positions.

Choose the HZ-12 if you have established finishing processes, higher daily production volumes, or need greater throughput from the start.

Scale up seamlessly. Both machines use identical barrel sizes, allowing finishing processes and recipes developed on the HZ-6 to transfer to the HZ-12.
