What is the process of Ceramic Polishing Machine Polishing Aluminum Wheel?

When we receive the old wheel, we need to soak the old wheel in a chemical to stripe the paint. This process takes about 10-15 minutes.

Then we clean the wheel surface with tap water, we may see some deep scratches or marks.

These deep marks we need to remove with a grinding wheel or a cloth wheel.

When the wheel is sanded down it is ready to polish.

 

First, we put it in the ceramic deburring media. The process takes about 1 hour.

Second, we put it in the plastic tumbling media, This process takes another 1 hour.

Thirdly, we put the wheel in the zirconia ball. The process takes 20 minutes.

After all 3 steps, you will see a mirror-polished wheel.

For better protection of the wheel, you can powder coat a transparent surface on the wheel with a powder coating gun.

If you do color powder coating, you can stop by the ceramic deburring media process. As the wheel is smooth, you can powder coat the wheel.

wheel-vibratory-finishing-machine-with-aluminum-wheel

 

Check this out:

The bowl vibratory tumbler rocks has the following parts

The first one is its finishing bowl. The bowl is equipped with either a PU or rubber lining. The lining makes the bowl stronger and curbs premature wear out of the bowl.

All the finishing processes take place in the finishing bowl.

The second primary element is the tumbler’s motor. It is the machine’s “engine” in that it is responsible for the bowl’s vigorous shaking to create the tumbling effect.

The third element is the machine’s superior suspension. The vigorous vibration needs a robust suspension to ensure that the process is effective when it is running.

The suspension can be adjusted to favor different finishing conditions for the best finish.

You also need to consider other factors, such as noise. You can suppress noise by acquiring an acoustic lid. The lid will serve three primary purposes:

  • Noise suppression
  • Curb finishing compound sputtering.
  • Enhance the finishing process by transforming sound energy to heat energy

The fifth element of this incredible tumbler is the electrical system. It comprises displays and controls that help you interact with the machine and control the machine’s processes.

Without these electrical components, you’ll have a manual finishing machine.

The sixth crucial element of this machine is its drain system. It has an inlet for dispensing finishing compounds. It also has conduits which take away the already-used finishing compounds or water.

The last crucial element of this machine is the finishing abrasives. Without abrasives, there is nothing much you can do with the machine. Abrasives can also be used with finishing compounds.
