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.

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.

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.

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.

In today’s competitive manufacturing industry, efficiency and precision are critical. Whether you’re involved in metalworking, automotive components, or precision engineering, the finishing process plays a significant role in ensuring the quality of your products. Vibratory finishing is one of the most advanced and efficient techniques available, and it can significantly improve your production workflow, reduce errors, save money, and free up valuable operator time.
