Pyramids and Tetrahedrons Pyramids and Tetrahedrons

These two shapes combine the excellent tumbling qualities of Cylinders, Triangles, Cones, and Star shapes. The flat sides provide the best in cutting surfaces, and are designed to reach into holes and slots without lodging. They react well in vibratory equipment and their orbital action in round, bowl-type equipment is extremely good.

Ceramic Compositions

"FB" Media- For very fine burnishing: A ceramic media which contains no abrasive. It is recommended for burnishing and polishing operations. This very hard and long-wearing media weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is off-white in color.

"F" Media- For light deburring and burnishing: "F" Media contains just the right amount of finely-sized aluminum oxide abrasives for light deburring. When used with proper compounds, it will impart a very desirable burnished, or polished finish. It weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is white in color.

"ECH" Media- For cutting and fine finishing: "ECH" media is a general purpose pre-tumbled media containing aluminum oxide abrasive. Intended primarily for medium cut applications, it will leave a smooth surface finish because of the size of the abrasive grain. Economically priced, "ECH" media is extremely efficient when the amount of metal removal is compared to media wear. It weighs approximately 90 pounds per cubic foot and is dark brown in color.

"C" Media- For cutting and burnishing: "C" media contains a coarser-grained aluminum oxide abrasive. It's rate of metal cut compared to media wear makes it a very efficient media. When used with other compounds, "C" media will also provide a burnished finish. It weighs approximately 85 pound per cubic foot and is blue in color.

"XC" Media- For aggressive cutting: This unusually aggressive media gets to work right away in the removal of heavy burrs, flash, or scale. Since it is made with finely sized aluminum oxide abrasive, amazingly good finishes can be obtained. It weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is greenish-grey in color.

"HE" Media- For aggressive cutting and large equipment: Our "HE" media has been formulated for applications involving centrifugal force equipment and large cross-section vibrators. The aluminum oxide abrasive in this pre-tumbled media is blended with a hard ceramic body to increase durability and minimize fracturing. A very fast cutting composition, this media weighs approximately 100 pounds per cubic foot and is tan in color.

"SC" Media- Especially suited for materials to be welded, brazed, or soldered: "SC" is an aggressive cutting media which contains silicon carbide abrasive grain. It is recommended for use on parts that can have no aluminum oxide impregnation (usually parts to be welded, brazed, or soldered.) It weighs approximately 85 pounds per cubic foot and is white in color with blue specks.

"H" Media- For super fast cutting: A tough, faster cutting, longer-wearing, very efficient cutting media. "H" media contains aluminum oxide abrasive grain, weighs approximately 108 pounds per cubic foot, and is grey in color.

"PZ" Media- Ideal for burnishing or accelerated chemical deburring: An extremely heavy, high-density media that can replace steel media for burnishing. Increased weight decreases time cycles in acid process deburring. It weighs approximately 130 pounds per cubic foot and is cream colored.
