Polishing & Buffing Equipment
Midvale Industries offers a broad line of polishing and buffing equipment. This equipment includes robotic and automated systems as well as simple effective manual polishing lathes to suit any size manufacturing facility. Equipment options include variable frequency drives, back stands, hoods, a wide range of motor sizes as well as several built-in standard safety features.
Polishing is typically achieved by either mass finishing or belting a part to remove parting lines and/or casting scale while buffing uses a compound that is applied to a fabric work wheel to smoothen or brighten the workpiece.

Flat Finishing System
Flat finishers are designed for finishing flat parts efficiently and effectively while providing the ability to continuously process parts. Standard equipment on most flat finishing equipment includes an abrasive conveyor belt; variable speed conveyor drive; steel platen; one urethane-coated upper pulley and one steel or neoprene contact roll per head; and single hold-down rolls. Flat Finisher Abrasive Belt Heads are built in 6″ and 12″ widths. Manual tracking is also provided for original orientation of the belt.
- Designed to finish flat surfaces, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, rubber, wood, and more
- Designed for stock removal, fine finishing, deburring, and scale and oxide removal applications
- Several types and sizes available (including planetary head finishers and automated systems)
