Vibratory finishing and deburring technology

Achieve precise surface finishing and deburring with advanced vibratory motion, perfect for enhancing product quality and efficiency in demanding production environments.

Performs Finishing, Deburring, and Smoothing Operations

The SWECO FMD-7LR Vibratory Finishing Mill exemplifies versatile engineering in material finishing. This mill utilizes vibro-energy technology, creating a three-dimensional movement that consistently subjects the parts to high-frequency tilting, enhancing the deburring, scrubbing, and smoothing operations. Ideal for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to plastics, its applications span edge-breaking on steel abrasives to surface refinement of ceramic tiles and plastic pellets. With adjustable amplitude and vibration rates, it optimizes finishing action, while accommodating batch operations. The FMD-7LR is engineered for seamless integration with downstream manual or automatic separation systems, offering quick maintenance with tool-free adjustments. Configurable for various chamber sizes and media options, it supports diverse production requirements, all housed in materials that ensure durability and compatibility.

Benefits

  • Enhances product consistency and quality by enabling precise control over finishing processes.
  • Increases operational efficiency with adjustable vibration and amplitude settings tailored to specific requirements.
  • Facilitates easy integration into existing production lines with both batch and continuous operation capabilities.
  • Lowers maintenance time and effort through tool-free operational adjustments and quick media changeovers.
  • Promotes sustainability and cost-effectiveness by supporting versatile material compatibility, including sustainable and recycled materials.
