Vibratory finishing is a process in which parts undergo several steps to achieve a desired surface finish. These steps involve media, a solution system, and equipment. Vibratory finishing can be used on various types of metals and materials. It is especially suitable for non-ferrous metals and plastics, and is also ideal for parts with irregular shapes and fragile surfaces. The finishing process is more effective when one part is processed at a time, and vibratory finishers are best suited for such parts.

Vibratory finishers can polish and deburr virtually any metal product. Moreover, they can be customized to meet different requirements, such as the type of material to be treated. They also require less maintenance and allow for fast inspection. Some models can also be automated. And most importantly, these machines can process a wide range of parts at one time.

Vibratory finishers use a 1/2 HP motor to target the parts. However, there are machines with less powerful motors, which are less forgiving and have less power per cubic foot. The results of these systems are not uniform and may result in ding marks and long cycles. It’s important to choose the most appropriate equipment for your vibratory finishing operation.

Vibratory finishers have three main parts: a tub, revolving weights, and a screen. The tub contains the abrasive media, which can be up to 100 pounds. The operator also adds water and chemical compounds to clean the parts.
