Special Media
Special media are used to meet demanding surface finish requirements. They enable processes ranging from pressure deburring to high-gloss polishing.
Types of Special Media
- Anti-adhesion separating balls
- Wood granules and wood media
- Steel media
Anti-Adhesion Separating Balls
These prevent flat workpieces such as washers or sheet metal parts from sticking together. They are available as glass, acrylic, or plastic beads and are removed during wastewater treatment.
Wood Media
Wood media are gentle on components and ideal for polishing, drying, and de-oiling. Hardwoods such as oak, beech, and maple provide uniform surfaces and are suitable for delicate parts. Softwoods like pine and spruce are highly absorbent and often used for drying.
Advantages:
- Cost-effective
- Environmentally friendly
- Low material removal
- Suitable for sensitive surfaces
Steel Media
Stainless steel balls and satellites are used for pressure deburring and high-gloss polishing. Their high density often requires special vibratory finishing machines.
Applications
- Cost-effective alternative.
- Environmentally friendly.
- Low wear.
- Ideal for delicate surfaces.

FAQ
Here you will find answers to your questions
What process media does Eurotec Innovation offer?
Eurotec Innovation offers ceramic tumbling media, plastic tumbling media, drying granulates such as corn cob grit, compounds, flocculants, nut shell grit, special media, and grinding and polishing pastes.
How does Eurotec Innovation select the appropriate process media?
Eurotec Innovation selects process media to match the material, component geometry, desired surface effect, and processing objective.
Can Eurotec Innovation supply process media together with equipment and process design?
Eurotec Innovation offers process media tailored to the respective processing operation and, upon request, combines these with equipment, process development, and personal consultation.
When are plastic abrasive media suitable?
Plastic abrasive media are particularly suitable for non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, or brass, as well as for deburring and polishing processes.
When are ceramic abrasive media suitable?
Ceramic abrasive media are particularly suitable for harder materials like steel or stainless steel and are used for deburring and polishing.
What are compounds and flocculants used for?
Compounds and flocculants chemically support the grinding process and, in recirculating water systems, assist in the removal of abrasive particles and dirt. Additionally, compounds can have a brightening effect or, for example, corrosion protection properties.
What role do drying granules play in the process?
Drying granules, such as corn or walnut granules, are used for component drying and sometimes also for polishing.
Does Eurotec Innovation offer assistance with selection?
