Back in the early 1970's, Shor introduced the precious metal jewelry industry
to vibratory finishers. Since then, they have become quite popular and are now a
standard part of the finishing process for most shops. For a comparison between
vibratory finishers and other methods of polishing (both mass finishing and hand
polishing) see Finishing Process
Comparisons
Selecting the right machine for your shop-
The first variable to consider is the capacity of the machine. The
¼cubic
foot machines hold about 125 rings at a time. The ½ cubic foot will hold
about 250 rings, 1 cubic foot about 500. The ¼ cubic foot machines are
sufficient for most shops. Even larger shops often choose this size machine,
purchasing several so that they keep the work in separate batches while
finishing them simultaneously.
Raytech Brand Vibratory
Finishers- Good, reliable machines in a wide variety of
sizes. All units, except the very large Tumble-Dump, are CE
approved.

Nova Brand Vibratory Finishers-
Simply the strongest, most reliable machines available today. In
addition, these are the only machines with available automatic separators. HT machines have a thicker
bowl (this prevents efficiency dampening harmonics from being created).
HD machines last 3-5 times longer than HT or HD machines (about 10-15
years conservatively). HDT
machines combine the superior characteristics of both the HD and HT
machines. SHDT machines are made to run steel shot.

FlowThru System- When
working with cut-down media (the tripoli type polishing operation), it is
necessary to have a continuous drip of vibratory soap solution feeding in,
and draining out, of the machine's bowl. A "flow-thru" system accomplishes
this. 4 gallon tank.
