What do powder compounds do?
We offer a tailored range of powder type surface finishing compounds designed for grinding, lapping, polishing, deburring, and more. Each product is developed to address the unique needs of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ensuring optimal results in vibratory finishing, hand finishing, or precision operations.
What do liquid compounds do?
Our liquid compounds are carefully formulated to address a wide variety of cleaning, polishing, degreasing, and protective needs across a broad spectrum of materials and applications. Whether you’re working with steel, aluminium, brass, or more delicate alloys, our expertly developed liquids deliver consistent and high-quality results.
Why Quality Media and Compounds Matter in Vibratory Finishing
When you’re aiming for top-quality results in vibratory finishing, the consumables you use can make just as much difference as the finishing equipment itself. At Sharmic Engineering, we supply a wide range of high-grade media and compounds designed to support and improve the finishing process.
Why Use Vibratory Finishing?
If you’re looking for a fast, efficient, and cost-effective way to finish your parts, vibratory finishing is one of the best options out there. It’s perfect for industries where parts need a smooth, polished, or deburred surface, such as automotive, aerospace, and engineering.
The Role of Vibratory Finishing in Automotive Manufacturing
When it comes to the automotive industry, few sectors place higher demands on precision, performance, and quality. Every part, from the smallest gear to the largest panel, must perform flawlessly and meet exacting standards.
How Implementing Vibratory Finishing Can Deliver Cost-Effective Production Gains
Vibratory finishing works by gently moving parts in contact with specially designed media. The vibration does the hard work: removing burrs, smoothing edges, polishing surfaces. What’s clever is the consistency it delivers.
Understanding Porcelain Media in Vibratory Surface Finishing
Porcelain media is a type of non-abrasive or mildly abrasive finishing media, typically made from white clay materials mixed with other fine ingredients, then fired at high temperatures. It’s harder and denser than plastic media, but much gentler than ceramic.
Understanding Ceramic Media in Vibratory Surface Finishing
Ceramic media is a type of abrasive material used in vibratory finishing machines to clean, deburr, smooth or polish components. It is made from a mixture of abrasive grains, typically aluminium oxide, and a bonding agent that is shaped and fired at high temperatures to form durable, long-lasting media.
Understanding Plastic Media in Vibratory Surface Finishing
What is Plastic Media?
Plastic media is a synthetic abrasive material used in vibratory finishing applications. It is typically manufactured from a polyester resin base, combined with abrasive materials such as aluminium oxide or silica. These media are moulded into a variety of shapes including cones, pyramids, cylinders, wedges, and tri-stars to accommodate the specific requirements of different component geometries.
Why Vibratory Finishing is the Key to Efficient Production
In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, companies are continuously searching for ways to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure a consistent level of quality. One such method that stands out is vibratory finishing. It is a powerful technique that not only optimises production but also ensures components are finished to the highest standards. At Sharmic Engineering, we offer a wide range of vibratory finishing solutions, and in this blog, we’ll delve deeper into why it should be a cornerstone of your business.
