Plastic Finishing Media and Deburring Media
Plastic deburring media is available in low density, high density and high performance formulations to meet the needs of specific applications and a variety of finishes. All formulations ensure extended life, consistency of performance and reduced effluent, conforming to environmental and ecological standards. These are the most effective media for any vibratory finishing or deburring machines.
Low density – General purpose medias can be used for deburring, flash removal, burnishing and pre-plate finishing.
High density – Media that has been designed for superior cut and stock removal on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In most instances, these high density medias will reduce cycle times and provide vastly improved finishes in applications ranging from deburring of hard metals to fine finished on intricate parts.
High Performance – Media that has been formulated for use in specific applications involving ferrous metals.
These vibratory finishing media selection will provide a dramatic improvement in surface finished with the impact resistance of a plastic body, which significantly decreases fracturing and impingement.
