The vibrofinishing of the metals, or tumbling, is a process that helps the elimination of burrs or melting residues of the product making it uniform, free of any imperfection and ready for the following phases.
Vibratory finishing is achieved by using special machines similar to round tanks that trigger a vibration. In these roto-barrels, ceramic or other abrasives are added and once inserted, the product to be processed is treated for a time that can vary according to the piece and its surface.
In certain cases, liquids are also used during processing which facilitate production or prevent any oxidation of the product.
