Top 5 Vibratory Finishing Compact Systems From ActOn
When space is limited but surface finishing quality can’t be compromised, compact vibratory finishing systems are the perfect solution. These machines deliver the same deburring, polishing, cleaning, and surface improvement results as larger industrial units, but in a smaller footprint ideal for labs, workshops, and small production lines.
VB1 & VB1S Vibratory Bowl – Compact Vibratory Finishing
The VB1 and VB1S vibratory bowls are robust, single-mould polyurethane machines perfect for small batch vibratory finishing. They handle deburring, burnishing, radiusing, descaling, polishing, cleaning, and surface improvement with ease. The VB1S integrates a separation system for media and components, at the end of the finishing stage. Ideal for jewellery finishing, aerospace fasteners, and precision tooling, these bowls are user-friendly with a standard DOL starter.
HT2 Vibratory Trough: For Long & Delicate Components
The HT2 vibratory trough has a polyurethane-lined work chamber & it’s designed for delicate or elongated parts. It offers deburring, burnishing, and polishing in a compact, portable design with castor wheels. Featuring a built-in recirculating tank and dosing pump, it ensures precise process control. Perfect for surgical instruments, watch cases, and aerospace brackets, this small batch finishing machine runs quietly on a standard single-phase 240V supply.
Dual Vibratory Finishing Machine: Wet & Dry in One Unit
The Dual Vibratory machine combines wet process vibratory finishing in the inner polyurethane-lined chamber with heated drying in the outer chamber. This two-in-one system supports deburring, descaling, radiusing, cleaning, polishing, and surface improvement, while reducing handling time. Ideal for small automotive components, machined parts, and delicate decorative items, it’s a space-saving finishing solution for workshops.
HT2D Dryer: Compact Drying & Polishing
The HT2D dryer works in batch or continuous mode, using a heated polyurethane-lined chamber and dust-free agro media to absorb moisture and produce a stain-free polished finish. Recommended for jewellery, brass fittings, and precision aerospace components, it ensures surface preparation for small businesses that need consistent, presentation-ready results.
SPU1 Vibratory System: All-in-One Portable Finishing
The SPU1 single portable vibratory system is an economical finishing option for deburring, descaling, degreasing, cleaning, smoothing, radiusing, polishing, and drying. It pairs the VB1S vibratory bowl for wet processing with the VBD1S dryer for moisture removal and polishing. This compact vibratory finishing solution is ideal for dental implants, threaded fasteners, and clock components.
Centrifugal High Energy System
CPM10: High Speed, High Precision
The CPM10 brings centrifugal high energy finishing to small-scale operations. Its counter-rotating turrets and barrels deliver up to 80% faster processing times than traditional finishing, ideal for aggressive burr removal or fine polishing. CE-certified for safety, it features removable barrels, PLC control with 100 recipe programs, and a compact, mobile design. Applications include aerospace rivets, orthopaedic screws, 3d printed components and delicate machined components.
Ultrasonic Precision Cleaning for Labs
Laboratory Series Ultrasonic Cleaning Machines
The Laboratory Series ultrasonic cleaners (3 – 30L) are compact desktop units designed for ultrasonic cleaning in laboratories. They provide deep, non-abrasive cleaning for intricate or delicate components, removing oils, grease, and fine particles. Ideal for medical tools, jewellery, optical instruments, veterinary devices, and clockwork parts, they ensure contamination-free results in minutes.
Work Table Series Ultrasonic Cleaning Machines: Industrial Compact Cleaning
The Work Table Series offers integrated or stand-alone ultrasonic generators in 6 -30L sizes, ideal for small workshops and industrial labs. These units deliver the same cleaning power as larger manual series systems but in a compact format. Applications include cleaning machined components, small moulds, intricate metal parts, and delicate assemblies before inspection or coating. They’re perfect for maintaining part quality in small-scale manufacturing.
