Compounds and Flocculant

Compounds are special chemicals in liquid or powder form that are used in mass finishing technology.

They improve the grinding performance and increase the surface quality of the workpieces. Compounds have different functions depending on their composition and area of application. They can improve the lubricity of the grinding medium, increase the abrasiveness and clean and polish the workpiece surface.

Choosing the right compound depends on various factors. Influencing factors are the material, the grinding medium, the desired result and the corrosion protection requirements. Compounds are an important component and make a significant contribution to the effectiveness and quality of the grinding process.

Overview of compounds:

liquid compounds
polishing pastes and powders
flocculant

Liquid Compound

When mixed with water during the vibratory finishing process, compounds absorb the wear and tear that occurs on the workpieces. They support the drainage of the polluted water, as well as the treatment in centrifuges or other treatment systems.

Through different additives in the compound, cleaning, passivation and brightening of the workpieces can be achieved.

Advantages at a glance:

Very good water solubility
can be dosed automatically with dosing pumps
protection against corrosion
degreasing and cleaning

Compound Powder

Powdery compounds are valuable helpers in the vibratory finishing process that offer a multitude of advantages. They not only increase the grinding performance, but also support the degreasing and cleaning of the workpieces. In addition, under certain conditions, they can also be used for polishing.

Flocculant

Flocculants are an important tool to improve the effectiveness of cleaning performance and grinding performance.

They are added to bind and sediment fine grinding particles and abrasion products. The dosage depends on different factors, such as the amount of grinding debris or the type of workpiece. Flocculants increase the cleaning performance and prevent water turbidity. They improve the discharge of fats, oils, metal debris and solids in centrifuges.

Advantages at a glance:

Prevent water cloudiness
Improve cleaning and degreasing
Binds abrasion products

Process Media Catalog

Guide for Process Media

Here you will find general information on processing media such as abrasives, compounds and additives for vibratory finishing.

Plastic Media

For deburring and polishing. Soft, elastic and particulary recommended for sensitive surfaces such as aluminum, zinc or brass.

Ceramic media

For deburring and polishing. Robust and ideal for harder materials such as steel or stainless steel.

Granules

For drying and polishing: Corn granules or nut granules can be used in many different ways in mass finishing technology.

Grinding and Polishing Pastes

In combination with carrier media, particulary fine surfaces can be created with polishing pastes. Grinding pastes support and strengthen the vibratory grinding process.

Special Media

For special requirements on the machining process and for special applications.
