Working With Walnut Shell Media And Finishing MachinesFinishing media is used in the procedure of finishing of parts. When the parts areloaded into the finishing machines – tumbling machines and vibratory machines –along with the media, they rub with each other. The media has an abrasive propertywhich results in deburring, smoothing, polishing and cleaning of the parts.Finishingcompoundsmay be used throughout the finishing process to improve the efficiencyof the finishing media. Finishing media can be broadly classified into two categories.One is natural media likecorn cob mediaandwalnut shell media. The other category is artificial media like plastic deburring media and ceramic finishing media.Corn cob mediais made by grinding the hard wooden ring of the corn’s cob. It isprepared into an abrasive grit that can flow smoothly. Because it is natural, thecorncob mediais environment friendly. This media is suitable for use with both tumblingand vibratory machines. It has great absorbent properties which makes it ideal toclean and dry parts. Corn cob grit can absorb oils, grease, dirt and moisture withoutcausing a scratch or damaging the surface of the parts in any manner. It is excellentfor use as a burnishing agent and is used for burnishing of metals in tumblingmachines. Metals such as brass and bronze which are soft in nature get the desiredfinish with this media. Thecorn cob mediagrit comes from coarse variety to super fine variety to suit avariety of parts, based on their weight and nature. This media is tough and does notbreak down easily; It can be reused again and again and it cost effective. It reducesthe cycle time of finishing operations. It is clean and can be incinerated and posesno health or environment danger. It has a soft abrasive action and can be carefullyused on frail components to defend micro finishes. It is successful on both metallicand plastic parts.Walnut shell mediais an additional admired natural finishing media. It is equippedby grinding walnut shells that are tough and fibrous into grit – the grit sizes could belarge or small based on the necessities. The nature of the parts plus the perforationsize of the screen that is used to divide the parts from the media after the finishingprocess is over establish the grit size.Walnut shell mediais also used in blastingmachines apart from tumbling and vibratory machines. They are ideal to de-flashplastic parts and polishing and smoothing of metals like aluminium, bronze andbrass.Walnut shell mediaalso comes in practical in oil drilling to avoid clogging duringcirculation and to impart anti-skid properties to paint which is used about swimming
