Vibra-Clean® Vibratory Media Drum

Customers have told us of the frustration of current media drums: damage to castings, media jammed into casting crevasses, and the inability to run fragile castings. GK has eliminated these issues with their new VIBRA-CLEAN® vibratory media drum.

Combining the advantages of natural frequency vibrating design with drum-type material motion, the General Kinematics Media Drum provides a complete, reliable, one-position system for preconditioning castings.

Dramatic cost savings are achieved by reducing or even eliminating shot blast cycle times by pre-cleaning castings prior to blasting. Vigorous scouring agitation, together with unique internal construction, assure full media contact on all surfaces of even the most intricate casting shapes. Fragile castings can be handled without danger of breakage, nesting, or surface nicks because rough, rotary tumbling is eliminated.

Because the drum is non-rotating, feed and discharge interfaces are easier to design and operate. Features such as water addition or dust control ducting, in the event of dry processing, are simplified.

Features:

  • Ideal for surface preparation, deburring, descaling, scouring, pre-finishing of castings.
  • Designs available for all applications including wet or dry.
  • Castings are rotated in a bed of media which eliminates the damage found in rotary media applications.
  • Castings are "scrubbed" of sand residue.
  • Media does not get jammed in castings.
  • Castings come out cleaner with reduced scrap.
