:: CERAMIC MEDIA
CERAMIC MEDIA • FACTORY DIRECT PRICING
Ceramic is the bonding agent, ranging from soft (45 rockwell) on fast cutting medias to hard (65 Rockwell) on burnishing medias. The cutting elements used are generally aluminum oxide or silicon carbide in the grit ranges of 80-220 grit. Burnishing medias do not use cutting elements and the ceramic is off a higher grade harder porcelain. The weight per cubic foot of ceramic is approximately 80 lbs. Smaller media sizes weigh approximately 15% more. There is a light weight ceramic using quartz as an abrasive that weighs 50 lbs/cu. ft. and there is a high density ceramic that weighs 120 lbs/cu.ft.

SYNTHETIC PLASTIC MEDIA
Benefits of Synthetic Media
• Eliminates foaming as well as the residue plaguing polyester media formulations.
• Has a 20% to 45% lower Bulk Density than Polyester and Ceramic Media offering a Greater Volume per pound and yielding a lower working cost
• Lesser weight Per Cubic Ft. Synthetic will reduce surface hammering and impingement:
: : Synthetic 55/lbs Cu. Ft. : : Polyester 65/lbs. Cu. Ft. : : Ceramic 85/lbs. Cu Ft.
• Offers extremely Fine Finishes.( Ideal for medical, Dental, Aerospace etc.....)
• The effluent from Vibra Finish Synthetic Media separates quickly in a matter of hours compared to days for Polyester Media.
• Vibra Finish Synthetic Media is water based, cost effective and easily treated material for removal in waste water systems.
• Quick settling of solids makes closed- loop waste water systems practical, affordable offering a considerable water cost saving for continual use.

Cone
Cones are designed so the unique shape enables them to deburr into remote areas without lodging. This shape will wear extremely well because there are not sharp edges.

Cylindrical Wedge
Cylindrical Wedge combines the strong points of triangles and cylinders to penetrate into corners, slots and angles.

Wedge
Wedge is a uniquely designed media that eliminates many lodging problems, while its configuration will reach hard to finish corners, slots and angles. Sharpens as it wears.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Special Process Media
Random Medias
Sand, river rock or man made sintered ceramics for burnishing and aluminum oxide nuggets for fast cutting are examples of random medias. They are screened for size, but are random in shape allowing processing many areas of part.
Dry Process Media
Corn cob, walnut shells, wood pegs and some preformed composite medias are used to run dry. Running dry presents a challenge without the water cushioning or cleaning the mass. Dry medias carry or are impregnated with polishing powders or paste. They are primarly used in brightening parts and can be run in all types of finishing equipment.
Steel Media
Is a product cold formed from wire, heat treated and polished. They are available in many shapes. Steel Media have precise measurements and wears very slowly with service life up to 10-20,000 hrs. they are available in carbon and stainless alloys. The media weighs approx. 300 lbs a cubic foot, so machines have to be built especially to handle the weight. The applications are part of burnishing, peening for strength, and light deburring without lodging.
