Selection of Media
Shape, size and type of media is selected based on the application, geometry and material of components. Selection of shape and size of media should be such that possibility of clogging of media is eliminated.
We offer ceramic, plastic, glass, porcelain, steel, and drying media (corn cob).
Selection of Compounds
Selection of Compounds is based on application and material composition of the part. The compounds are normally added to water with the concentration of 4 to 7%.
We offer wide range of compounds for degreasing, descaling, deburring and polishing applications.
We have specific range of products for ferrous and non-ferrous parts. Our product offerings also include rust removing compounds and rust inhibitors.
The available compounds are neutral, alkaline or acidic in nature.
Ceramic Media
Ceramic Media is widely used for its abrasive properties and hardness. It is mainely used for deburring, descaling, edge radiusing, polishing and smoothening requirements.
Plastic Media
Resin Bonded Plastic Media from Gala, are proven for deburring and finishing of non-ferrous components and castings. Low density of this media is the advantage over ceramic media. It results in dent less finish on soft metals such as Aluminum, Zinc and Alloys of Brass, Copper and many more.
This media is suitable for aluminum die cast parts.
This media is also suitable for certain rubber and plastic parts.
Glass Media
Glass beads are used as rolling media for high gloss on work piece of low density material like optical frames, electric, plastic components and many more. Major advantage of this media is very low wear rate.
Porcelain Media
Porcelain media produces high luster / mirror finish for stainless steel parts. This gives high polish and have low wear rate.
Steel Media
Steel media are used for burnishing to obtain lusture and reflective mirror-like finish. We offer steel media in SS 202, SS 304 and SS 316 grade. Normally steel media is used in heavy duty ball burnishing vibratory finishing machines. Ball burnishing in SS media is very popular in stainless steel cutlery items.
Drying Media
Corn cobs have replaced saw dust as drying media. The major advantage of corn cob media is that it can absorb 12 times more water than saw dust without any dusting problem. Corn cobs are also used for polishing of ferrous and non ferrous components. This media is used in vibratory drying machines.
