CONIEX offers vibrators, also known as vibrating drums, for dry vibrating of metal parts. We are pioneers in the use of dry vibration for polishing and finishing parts. A vibratory drum is much more efficient than other solutions on the market, reducing production costs while achieving higher productivity and finish quality.
Metal parts vibratory grinding is used for polishing and sanding metal parts. Vibratory polishing is necessary when the part has a production defect, such as burrs, or some other type of irregularity or imperfection. Vibrofinishing is also used for finishing and treatment of other types of materials.
Our vibro-polishing machines allow the vibration polishing process to be carried out dry, without the use of water or acids, which means that no residues are generated during the process.
The vibrating bass drum is an ideal technology when small parts have to be processed in large quantities. They are also very efficient for parts with irregular shapes and difficult access.
Dry vibration is the revolution that allows companies to meet the goal of increasing productivity, simplifying processes and saving costs, results that have proven to be spectacular in all applied fields. In addition, the process represents a significant improvement in the surface quality of the parts in a shorter time and at lower cost.
With such a vibrating drum, the waste generated during the vibration process is drastically reduced and the consumption of water and chemicals is completely eliminated, as well as the costly processes of purification and waste disposal.
Main benefits of dry vibratory polishing:
For the dry vibration process, using ECOS abrasives does not always require a new installation, but it is sufficient to equip the existing vibro with a lid and a vacuum cleaner specially designed to collect the dust generated during the process.
This system allows the effective polishing, finishing and deburring of any type of material, metallic and non-metallic, and in particular, all metals that oxidize easily with water, such as iron, steel and zinc alloys, as well as brass and aluminum.
In addition, dry processes are used to obtain:
Therefore, we invite you to learn more about this technology from CONIEX, your specialist in surface treatments.
CONIEX’s vibration laboratory has all types of vibrating equipment, circular, rectangular, turbo, with more than 250 references of ceramic, porcelain, polyester or ureic abrasives, steel balls as well as our own range of chemical products specifically designed for vibration. In our facilities, both conventional wet processes and our exclusive dry processes can be carried out without the presence of water or chemicals.
Depending on the needs and the objective result in surface treatment, the following processes are carried out:
Once the tests have been carried out, the treated samples are returned for physical evaluation and a complete report is delivered with:
Since wet vibration processes generate aqueous residues, the type of treatment for the residues produced in the future process is also analyzed and designed during the tests, either by physical-chemical methods, electrocoagulation, or evaporation.
Vibration is a mass chemical-mechanical process, in which the surface quality of the treated parts is improved in an efficient and economical way.
Depending on the objective to be achieved, polishing, deburring, pickling, pickling, degreasing, burnishing, decalaminating, rust protection, super polishing with mirror shine, etc., and depending on the material to be worked with, one process or another will be chosen. The key to the process lies in the perfect combination of abrasive, chemical and vibration equipment selected, for the choice of which our Technical Team will be able to advise you.
In the field of mass surface finishing, the lines of circular vibrators with automatic, pneumatic and manual unloading represent the most efficient response to market demands.
Both the design, the structure and the monolithic tank have been studied using modern means of calculation and testing, as well as the structure, which is made of certified steel, electro-welded and with a structural standardization heat treatment.
The monolithic circular vibro bowl is coated with thick, anti-abrasive, oleophobic and non-stick textured cast polyurethane. The flat tank channel is the first condition for an excellent finish and better production performance.
The separation of the abrasives and the pieces is carried out automatically using suitable grids with holes and rods in the machines with automatic unloading, by means of magnetic extractors or through pneumatic outlets, acting simply and opportunely on the vibrating motor.
The vibrator motor is the heart of the machine and it is oversized, well tested and normally does not require periodic maintenance and greasing.
Vibration adjustment allows fast and perfect work to be achieved thanks to the most versatile and universal system currently available, with the possibility of manual or automatic intervention.
The three-dimensional balance and adjustment of the machine determine a constant homogeneity between the abrasives and the parts to be treated, avoiding abrupt jumps which cause pitting and hardening of the surfaces.
These machines have been designed for the surface finishing of metal parts such as:
In particular, they are used for deburring, smoothing, polishing, desanding, etc. parts with plastic, ceramic, ureic, sawdust and wood abrasives.
The duty cycles are indicated each time according to the application, material, size, weight and shape of the parts.
Let our surface finishing consultants advise you to determine the theoretical and practical methods for fine-tuning the work cycles, abrasives and chemicals to be used.

As its name indicates, the base of the tank is flat, i.e. it is horizontal with respect to the ground plane. In these machines the working process is carried out in one direction, once finished the motor stops rotating and after a delay to compensate the inertia, it starts again and this time it does it in the opposite direction.
Attached to the discharge grate a paddle that “floated” on top of the operating mixture is pushed downward by the centrifugal force of the media (chips) and parts mixture, blocking its passage.
The continued effect of the centrifugal force of the mixture causes it to crowd against the mixture and begin to climb the slope. At a certain point it overflows from the top and the mixture of chips and pieces begin to advance over the screen. There the media falls through the perforations into the vibro while the parts run out of the machine.
The problem is that as the volume of pieces decreases, the last ones are on a steeper slope and some pieces may not be unloaded.

In order to solve the above problem and to guarantee the discharge of 100% of the parts, another type of configuration is adopted.
In this case the channel at the base of the vat is no longer horizontal with respect to the ground plane but presents a progressive upward inclination in ¾ of its length, at the highest point there is a fall and the pieces reach the lowest point of the base of the vat, restarting the ascent.
This type of vibrating screen rotates in one direction only, when the process cycle ends a paddle descends from the end of the screen to join the highest part of the ascending channel. Graphically as if we were going down a drawbridge. In this situation and without strong unevenness, the operating mixture of parts and media reaches the screening zone and again the media falls inside the vibro and the parts come out of the vibro.

Rectangular vibrators are mass surface finishing equipment used in processes where the parts to be treated are of large dimensions and it is not possible to work with circular vibrators.
The surface treatment process with rectangular vibrators is carried out in the same way as with circular vibrators, but instead of having a toroidal movement, the parts and the abrasive are moved in a circular trajectory. All types of vibrating abrasives can be used, such as ceramic, polyester or urea chips as well as the same CX chemicals manufactured by CONIEX.
Rectangular vibrators, in their special version, are also used for polishing processes with steel balls. The construction of the equipment for working with steel balls is special due to the high weight requirement with which the process is carried out. For this purpose, the structure of the tank and the vibrating motor mountings are reinforced. These are more powerful and transmit efficiently and durably the energy to perform a vibration that allows the impact of the steel balls on the parts, which performs the polishing effect of the process.
Equipment characteristics:
Possibility of including frequency inverter in the motors for a greater regulation of the process.

The linear vibrators of the VRL A series are machines with a linear bowl and automatic separation.
During the separation and loading stage, the parts are rinsed while the grains continuously and automatically fall back into the processing vat.
These are truly high productivity systems, with machines dedicated primarily to machining mechanical parts that require relatively short processing times, up to a maximum of 15-20 minutes. They operate continuously and separate the parts from the abrasive grains.
We have turbo machines that, by means of centrifugal action, accelerate machining times, drastically reducing them with respect to a traditional vibro. Suitable for deburring, smoothing, polishing, shading, small parts. The processes can be dry or wet.
These are the main benefits of turbo technology:

Vibrating parts separation equipment is the most affordable solution to ensure correct and efficient separation of parts and vibrating abrasives. They are suitable to be installed at the outlet of circular vibrators with pneumatic discharge, tilting turbochargers, hand drums or linear vibrators. They avoid the effort and task of manual separation because they do not require user intervention.
By means of forced vibration with motors designed for this purpose, the abrasives and parts are moved from the discharge area to the exit of the equipment. To perform the separation, they contain a system consisting of a base made of polypropylene perforated with holes of a diameter that allows the abrasives to fall to a second plane while the pieces continue vibrating above the base. At the outlet of the equipment, the boxes for the collection of the parts and the abrasives are placed in the corresponding separate outlets.
Variations to the vibratory separator equipment are routinely designed to meet all needs and requirements of part types and abrasives:

We have centrifugal tumble dryers, with hot air drying, of 50 and 70 Kg load capacity. This type of equipment has the resistors incorporated in the lid itself.
Electronic manual dryer, all the drives are made by the operator, only have one direction of rotation and a timer, leaving the option of using or not the resistors, for drying or only centrifuging without heat.
They are made of a sturdy carbon steel frame and the baskets and heating elements are made of stainless steel. Incorporate a frequency variator (inverter), they have an acceleration ramp to prevent parts made of soft materials; zamak, brass or delicate materials from rubbing and marking at the beginning of the work cycle.
In the manual versions, once the cycle is finished, the operator proceeds to turn the centrifuge bowl manually (it is a simple operation due to the counterweight at the bottom).
In the automatic tumble tumble dryers, the opening of the lid, the final tumbling and the turning of the basket for better unloading are automatic.
This already allows them to be included online in some activities.
