Vibratory Finisher

The pump draws oil from the reservoir, through a suction filter, which strains large debris from the pump.  This flow of oil is then pumped through an external filter assembly, consisting of an aluminum housing, sintered filter element, and o-rings.  The bottom of the filter housing spins off, making changing or cleaning the filter quick and easy.  The filter element is a 25 micron sintered cup, in which the oil diffuses through the element wall, trapping debris and contaminants, before exiting the housing.  Once the oil has pumped through the filter assembly, it then passes through an oil flow-sensor.  As the oil flows through the sensor, a small brass piston is raised by the oil flow, compressing a small spring.

When it comes to lubricating main drive bearings on a vibratory finisher, there are two options to choose from. One option is to use grease to lubricate the bearings, which is common among smaller capacity units or machines with short run times. This can be accomplished either manually or can be done automatically with an Auto-Grease Pump. The other common form of lubricating the main bearings on a vibratory finisher is to automatically recirculate a light-weight gear oil through the bearings.  

When operating your new vibratory finishing machine, there are a lot of small, easily-overlooked rules that you should follow. Whether you’re looking to ensure you maximize the lifespan of your machine or you want to be certain that you’re achieving the highest quality finish possible, vibratory finishing machines from CLM Vibetech reward attention, care and proper usage. In this post, we’re going to go over a short list of “Do’s and Don’t’s” regarding your finisher and, hopefully, help you get the most of out your new equipment.

At CLM Vibetech, besides continuing to manufacture some of the industry’s best vibratory finishers, we’ve been hard at work creating our new website. As you can see, the site has undergone a number of major changes to both make it easier to navigate and, more importantly, make it display properly on mobile devices.
