What Do Our Machines Do?​

What is a Vibratory Finishing Machine?

A vibratory finishing machine is used to improve the surface of metal or plastic components. It works by shaking or vibrating a container filled with parts, abrasive media and a finishing compound. The constant movement causes the parts to rub against the media, which helps to remove sharp edges, smooth surfaces or polish the components.

This process is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace and engineering. It is ideal for deburring, cleaning and preparing surfaces before further treatments like painting or plating. The machine can process many parts at once, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume production.
