Things you may want to know about Ceramic Media
for Vibratory Finishing Machines

Vibratory tumbler is a deburring machine used
for cleaning, polishing and deburring. This
ceramic media is available in amass-finishing
products. Ceramic media is used in these
vibratory tumblers to fill the bowl and is
basically a type of abrasive material range of
sizes, materials and shapes and is used for
various purposes. Before using any type of
ceramic media, a selection process takes place
based on certain characteristics of the media
such as what are the operations required for
finishing or deburring activity.

One of the most commonly used such machines is
vibratory deburring machine, also known as
vibratory tumbler. The dirty parts which need to
be worked upon are placed inside a large drum
which is part of the machine. This drum then
undergoes circular motion to generate vibrations
to mix the content inside. Meanwhile, a friction
generates between the ceramic media and the dirty
parts which eventually cleans them. In terms of
size, a larger size of media is employed for
parts of larger size owing to their capability to
cut at a rapid pace creating coarse surfaces. On
the other hand, smaller sized parts demand
smaller media to obtain a better finish.

To make the selection easy, in general a thumb
rule is followed which says that the select a
media whose size is equal to 70 of the size of
the slot so that no two pieces get stuck in a
hole. Besides the size, ceramic media comes in
varied shapes such as stars, cones, spheres,
pyramids, wedges and ovals. The abrasive media is
available in a variety of materials. Some
prominent types are
5

• PLASTIC MEDIA
• This type is used to obtain a smooth finish.
  Aluminum, copper and brass are some of the soft
  metals on which plastic media is used.
• CERAMIC MEDIA
• Unlike the plastic media, ceramic media is used
  for hard metals which require heavy cutting.
  Along with these metals, ceramic media is also
  used for plastic parts.
• ORGANIC MEDIA
• As the name suggests this media is made of
  organic materials such as corn cob and walnut
  shells, generally used for light deburring
  activities.

• STEEL MEDIA
• Used for heavy shining, deburring and polishing
  activities, using steel media generally demands a
  second polishing step.
• PORCELAIN MEDIA
• In the absence of any abrasive power, this media
  is used only for polishing.
• WET TUMBLING COMPOUNDS
• Sometimes, wet compounds are used when mixed with
  tumbling media to provide the materials
  protection from rust and corrosion.
