The disc finishing process
The centrifugal disc finishing process is a vibratory grinding process and was developed for the surface treatment of workpieces. The process is carried out in a cylindrical container which is open at the top and the bottom of which consists of a disc separated from the container wall by a gap. During operation, the workpieces and the grinding or polishing media in which they are immersed rotate at a high speed, creating a toroidal effect.
The differing centrifugal forces acting on the workpieces and the media provide a very intensive finishing process which can be 20 times more effective than systems such as traditional vibrators.
In the wet finishing process a water/compound mixture constantly flows in and out, carrying away the particles of dirt giving the workpieces a clean, corrosion-free surface finish.
