Ceramic Media for Vibratory Finishing 
Machines
Vibratory tumbler is a deburring machine used for cleaning, 
polishing and deburring. This ceramic media is available in 
amass-finishing products. Ceramic media is used in these 
vibratory tumblers to fill the bowl and is basically a type of 
abrasive material range of sizes, materials and shapes and is 
used for various purposes. Before using any type of ceramic 
media, a selection process takes place based on certain 
characteristics of the media such as what are the operations 
required for finishing or deburring activity.
One of the most commonly used such machines is vibratory 
deburring machine, also known as vibratory tumbler. The dirty 
parts which need to be worked upon are placed inside a large 
drum which is part of the machine. This drum then undergoes 
circular motion to generate vibrations to mix the content 
inside. Meanwhile, a friction generates between the ceramic 
media and the dirty parts which eventually cleans them.
In terms of size, a larger size of media is employed for parts of 
larger size owing to their capability to cut at a rapid pace 
creating coarse surfaces. On the other hand, smaller sized 
parts demand smaller media to obtain a better finish. 
To make the selection easy, in general a thumb rule is 
followed which says that the select a media whose size is 
equal to 70% of the size of the slot so that no two pieces get 
stuck in a hole.
Besides the size, ceramic media comes in varied shapes such 
as stars, cones, spheres, pyramids, wedges and ovals. The 
abrasive media is available in a variety of materials. Some 
prominent types are:
PLASTIC MEDIA:
This type is used to obtain a smooth finish. Aluminum, copper and 
brass are some of the soft metals on which plastic media is used.
CERAMIC MEDIA:
Unlike the plastic media, ceramic media is used for hard metals 
which require heavy cutting. Along with these metals, ceramic 
media is also used for plastic parts.
ORGANIC MEDIA:
As the name suggests this media is made of organic materials 
such as corn cob and walnut shells, generally used for light 
deburring activities.
STEEL MEDIA:
Used for heavy shining, deburring and polishing activities, 
using steel media generally demands a second polishing 
step.
PORCELAIN MEDIA:
In the absence of any abrasive power, this media is used 
only for polishing.
WET TUMBLING COMPOUNDS:
Sometimes, wet compounds are used when mixed with 
tumbling media to provide the materials protection from 
rust and corrosion.
