Acme offers a range of deburring, burnishing, polishing, cleaning, degreasing and smoothing services, collectively known as mass finishing.

Mass finishing provides an effective and efficient alternative to traditional, labour-intensive, deburring and surface improvement processes that are both costly and time consuming.

Mass finishing is a group of manufacturing processes that allow large quantities of parts to be simultaneously finished.

The two main types of mass finishing are tumble finishing, also known as barrel finishing, and vibratory finishing.

Vibratory finishing is a type of mass finishing manufacturing process used to deburr, radius, descale, burnish, clean, and brighten a large number of relatively small workpieces. In this batch-type operation, specially shaped pellets of media and the workpieces are placed into the tub of a vibratory tumbler. The tub of the vibratory tumbler and all of its contents are then vibrated. The vibratory action causes the media to rub against the workpieces which yield the desired result.

Unlike rotary tumbling the vibratory process can finish most internal features, such as holes. It is also quicker and quieter. The process is performed in an open tub so the operator can easily observe if the required finish has been obtained.
