Mass Finishing

A Great Finish Starts with Smart Thinking

Mass finishing can be described as integrating process, chemistry, equipment, and media. We’ve been helping manufacturers remove burrs, improve surface quality, clean, descale, and deflash across a wide range of needs and applications. Working directly with your team, our engineers will help you identify the best way to meet your needs – saving you time and money along the way. Hubbard-Hall manufactures a full line of mass finishing compounds designed to work synergistically with the correct equipment and media:

  • Equipment Types: oblique barrel, vibratory bowl or tubs, centrifugal barrel
  • Media Types: ceramic, plastic, metal, organic

Mass Finishing Compounds

1

Cleaning Compounds

Designed to remove undesirable surface contamination from parts. The appropriate compound is matched with the metal being cleaned & media being used.

2

Descaling Compounds

Used to remove scale, rust, and oxides from metallic surfaces by using either acidic or alkaline compounds.

3

Deburring Compounds

Designed to assist burr removal by keeping the parts and media clean. Also provides corrosion resistance to the parts and media when required.
