Parts enter the unit through the mess belts and processing starts beneath the blast wheel. Abrasives are shot at high frequencies in specific patterns to effectively remove any kind of dirt or rust from the work piece. The nature, property, size and weight of the metal is carefully examined and analyzed before proceeding with the blasting process.
Steel Ball Burnishing DeLong offers extensive range of steel ball burnishing media available in distinctive shapes and materials. Two main forms of burnished steel balls are available with us which are Eclipse and Abco. Spherical steel balls are subjected to slight flattening at their poles to give the eclipse shape wherein they are left rounded for the abco type.
Latest technology burnishing equipments are used in the burnishing process wherein parts are loaded into chambers along with the steel balls and excited with high speed vibrations. Abrasion and collision of parts with these balls causes wearing, rubbing and grinding of imperfect edges, finally producing a crystal clear fine surface.
The rounded steel balls that we supply offer smooth rolling action which makes it suitable for grinding and polishing processes. Cost effective lustrous finish is one of the remarkable feature of elliptical steel balls. A shiny metallic layer devoid of rough, rugged edges is the result of our significant burnishing process.
Specialty features obtained through our burnishing techniques are:
