Flatware Materials
Flatware including forks and spoons are commonly made from stainless steel material. It’s affordable and has a long lifespan.
For polishing stainless steel flatware, we recommend either the vibratory tumbling machine or the rotary finishing machine for the best results.
Brass is naturally shiny in appearance. Therefore, it adds great character to your cutlery sets.
In order for best polishing results, brass flatware should be polished using a rotary finishing machine or a vibratory machine. To prevent the surface from tarnishing, we also advise using the vibratory drying machine to remove excess liquid after polishing.
Like stainless steel, silver is also commonly used for making flatware. Like all other flatware materials, silver has to undergo a thorough polishing process to ensure that the best surface is achieved and maintained.
For polishing purposes, we suggest using the vibratory finishing machine. Because silver is a hard metal, they can endure more force than softer metals.
In addition, if you are doing flatware polishing on a large scale, then we recommend the continuous vibratory machine.
Gold is a highly valued material used to make flatware. For this reason, careful polishing is needed.
For gold flatware polishing, you can use the rotary finishing machine to get excellent surface results.

2. What media is suitable for polishing flatware?
When choosing media for polishing flatware, there are two factors to consider.
Firstly, some metals are made of softer materials than others are, and therefore choosing less aggressive media is ideal to prevent damaging and tarnishing of flatware.
Secondly, checking for surface contamination such as scratches or discoloration is important. Depending on the type of damage, the appropriate media should be used. For example, if there are visible surface damages, then we would suggest using an aggressive media to help remove these surface damages. If little to none damages are present on surfaces, then we recommend using a less aggressive media for the best polishing results.
Ceramic polishing media is ideal for aggressive polishing of heavy and hard metals such as stainless steel.
Porcelain polishing media contains ceramic properties that helps in removing surface damages and smoothens out the surfaces. This can be used for medium level flatware polishing.
Finally, plastic polishing media can be used for lightweight flatware polishing. Because they contain little abrasive properties, they are suitable for softer metals. It can be used for enhancing surface areas by giving it a sleek and shiny finishing.

For this type of process, we recommend using the vibratory tumbling machine or rotary finishing machine. However, the rotary finishing machine operates at a slower rate than the vibratory machine, but produces amazing results.
Stainless steel flatware requires rigorous amounts of polishing to ensure satisfactory surface areas. In order to achieve the desired look for your stainless steel flatware, we recommend using either porcelain media, plastic media, or ceramic media for the best results. If you require specialized finishing, we can advise on polishing compounds to suit your needs.
