Vibratory Bowl Basic Operation

A vibratory bowl operates by utilizing a vibrating motion that causes small abrasive media to come into contact with the parts being finished. This helps remove any burrs, sharp edges, or other imperfections. The bowl is filled with a mixture of media, water, and compound that further aids in the finishing process. As the bowl vibrates, the mixture of media rubs against the parts in the bowl, providing a consistent and even finish. Depending on the type of vibratory bowl used, part loading and unloading can be done manually or automatically. A screening deck or an air-operated discharge door can eliminate most manual intervention during the unloading process in some machines, while others require manual part and media separation.
