Plastic Tumbling Media
Plastic Tumbling Media
Plastic tumbling media is a lightweight media that reduces the chance of damaging sensitive parts with delicate surfaces. Plastic media comes in a variety of formulations (some are designed for use in high energy finishers or centrifugal barrels) to achieve finishes ranging from a clean and reflective finish to a smooth matte finish.
Finishing Applications for Plastic Tumbling Media
Mass finishing, deburring, deflashing, metal removal, and fine finishing.
Shape & Size Options:
Standard shapes & sizes available, including but not limited to:
- Triangles, angle cut triangles
- Cones
- Cylindrical, pilgrim, round top, taper top
- Pyramids
- Stars
- Ellipses
- Wedges
Contact our team for special shapes and sizes.
Plastic Vibratory Media Composition Options:
- Low Density – designed for versatility, often used for deburring, flash removal, burnishing and preplate finishing.
- High Density – designed for superior cut and stock removal on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In most instances this high density media reduces cycle times and provides vastly improved finishes in applications ranging from deburring of hard metals to fine finishes on intricate parts.
- High Performance – formulated for use in specific applications involving ferrous metals. This media will provide a dramatic improvement in surface finishes with the impact resistance of a plastic body, which significantly decreases fracturing and impingement.
Each type of cutting ability has many composition formulas available. Contact our team for special compositions.
