Vibratory tumbling machines are designed to offer simple and cost-efficient finishing solutions. These machines are ideally used for small parts, making it suitable for belt buckles. These machines can be used for deburring, cleaning, polishing, and removal of rust on belt buckles. Vibratory machines work perfectly with the correct type of media to give you the best possible results.
Centrifugal finishing machines are made to produce fast and efficient results. They are cost-efficient compared to other vibratory tumbling machines. If you have set aside a budget for this type of finishing machine, then we advise you to purchase the centrifugal machine instead, to ensure the best results.
The machine is suitable for smoothening the surfaces of large loads of belt buckles at once. The unloading feature of the machine is automatic which makes the separation between parts and media automatic.
Belt buckles undergo a drying process after they have been polished. Once vibratory deburring of belt buckles has been complete, the belt buckles are then dried in the vibratory drying machine between 5 and 10 minutes. If you fail to complete the drying process, your belt buckles will be prone to tarnishing and corrosion.
If you’re looking for an economical finishing machine, then the rotary barrel tumbling machine is the best option for you. The production time of this machine is slower than other finishing machines. Each production batch takes up to 36 hours to be complete. However, the slower production rate guarantees great finishing results.
The rotary barrel tumbling machine is ideal for polishing and smoothening surfaces of belt buckles. It’s suitable for parts such as stainless steel and other hard metals.
Belt Buckle Materials
These are the most common type of materials for belt buckles. It is cost-efficient, has a great surface appearance, and is good money value.
The process of polishing aluminium belt buckles can be done using any mass finishing machine of your choice such as centrifugal, vibratory, or rotary tumbling machines.
Brass is considered the best material for belt buckles. The brass adds a great look to the belt buckles.
Polishing brass belt buckles requires a variety of methods, as they are more prone to tarnishing compared to other materials. The centrifugal finishing machine and the rotary barrel machine is the best option for polishing brass parts.
Bronze has been used for belt buckles for many years.
The process of polishing brass belt buckles requires minimal effort and produces maximum results. The ideal tumbling machine for this process is the rotary tumbling machine Although the machine runs production on a slower rate compared to other finishing machines, the results they produce are satisfactory.
Similar to bronze belt buckles, stainless steel belt buckles are too popular and commonly used. Owing to the fact that stainless steel is a hard metal, polishing these buckles is easy and efficient.
For polishing purposes, we advise you to use a centrifugal finishing machine as they produce batches with a fast turnaround and efficient results.
Zamak is made up of aluminium, magnesium, and zinc mixed together.

1. What does belt buckle polishing mean?
Belt buckle polishing is the process of smoothening the surfaces of belt buckles to enhance and improve surfaces. This protects the belt buckles from contamination and corrosion.
Polishing belt buckles is done using a mass finishing machine such as centrifugal disc finisher, vibratory finishing equipment, and rotary finishing machines.
Belt buckles are made up of different materials. These materials include zinc, zamak, bronze, stainless steel, brass, aluminium, and magnesium.
2. What are the benefits of polishing belt buckles?
There is a variety of advantages with polishing belt buckles.
These advantages include:
2.1 Removing casting burrs
Die casting usually leaves part surfaces with unwanted burrs such as sharp and roughened edges.
The polishing process removes the unwanted burrs and produces smooth and satisfactory surfaces on belt buckles.
2.2 Smoothening of surfaces in preparation of electro-plating
Electro-plating is an important process for the lifespan of belt buckles. It aids in the shiny appearance and protects belt buckles from corrosion and other surface damages.
Before electro-plating takes place, the belt buckles undergo smoothening and polishing of surface parts to ensure the effectiveness and success of the electro-plating process.
2.3 Satisfactory Appearance
When it comes to appearance, belt buckles always need to be in the best possible condition. The polishing helps to maintain the shiny and appealing appearance of buckle belts.
3. Why is a mass finishing machine necessary for polishing belt buckles compared to other polishing methods?
Using traditional methods of polishing belt buckles is not as effective and efficient as using mass finishing machines.
Below is a list of benefits of using mass finishing machines for polishing belt buckles:
3.1 Elimination of intensive labor
Unlike traditional methods that require intensive labor to produce great finishing results, the mass finishing machines requires minimal labor with maximum results.
The machines require one operator for multiple production batches.
3.2 Multiple part polishing
The vibratory and centrifugal finishing machines allow operators to produce different batches at the same time.
3.3 Saves time and money
Mass finishing machines will save you time and money.
Traditional and manual polishing methods will require continual investments and mass finishing machines is a one-time investment that will save you money in the long term.
Regarding time, manual and traditional methods of polishing belt buckles is time-consuming. It requires longer hours for achieving good results.
Mass finishing machines guarantee great results in a short time and low costs.
3.4 Consistent finishing results
Vibratory and centrifugal finishing machines are guaranteed to produce consistent and best quality results after every batch.
Traditional and manual methods for polishing belt buckles is not guaranteed nest results every time.
3.5 Prevention of damage to parts
Materials that are used to make belt buckles are more prone to damaging than other parts. Due to this, belt buckles need to be protected from tarnishing and damaging.
Manual and traditional methods of polishing belt buckles are not guaranteed to provide protection against belt buckles tarnishing and damaging.
Mass finishing machines on the other hand guarantees the protection of parts against damage by using the appropriate media for polishing results.
3.6 Easy-to-use machines

Once polishing of belt buckles are complete, they undergo a drying process that takes place in the vibratory drying machine.
They are available in two types including the batch feeding vibratory machine and the continuous drying machine.
Some advantages of vibratory drying machines include the dust and noise proof cover, adjustable frequency drive, bowl temperature control and the batch and continuous options.
5. Which vibratory media is used for polishing belt buckles?
When choosing vibratory media for polishing belt buckles, it’s important to consider the type of media as it will influence the finishing results.
We offer a range of media shapes, sizes, abrasiveness, and types suitable for various purposes.
For polishing belt buckles, we recommend using a non-abrasive media such as porcelain and plastic, to achieve the best results while protecting parts from damaging and tarnishing.
Porcelain media is made of clay, aluminium, and kaolin. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes including balls, cones, cylinders, and tri-stars.
Porcelain tumbling media is suitable for soft metals like belt buckles, and ensures they get the best shine and polish.
Furthermore, porcelain media can be used for wet polishing for best results.
Plastic tumbling media is commonly used for polishing belt buckles. It is available in a range of shapes and sizes for different purposes and finishes.
They are more durable than other types of media and can be used for a long period and have a low wear-and-tear rate, making it ideal to achieve excellent results.
6. How do I dry polished belt buckles? And why is it necessary?
Belt buckles that are polished are generally dried after undergoing polishing processes. The drying takes place in a vibratory drying machine.
The polished belt buckles absorbs moisture found of surfaces of belt buckles by using a heating element.
This machine completes the drying process in less than 10 minutes, making it an efficient and fast process.
The importance of drying belt buckles after they have been polished is to ensure that the surfaces are dry to avoid damaging and corrosion in the future.
