I. Preparing the Abrasive: Thoroughly clean the vibratory barrel and the triangular or spherical abrasive media (use spherical media for flat surfaces and triangular media for engraved surfaces). Then, drain off excess moisture, leaving the surface slightly damp. Place an appropriate amount of abrasive media (approximately 80% of the vibratory barrel’s capacity) into the barrel.
II. Add the Workpiece and Emery Place the workpiece to be polished into the vibratory barrel and add a specific amount (e.g., 100 grams) of emery. Once the workpiece, abrasive, and emery are all in the vibratory barrel, start the machine to allow the workpiece to rub against the abrasive and emery while tumbling and moving. After a certain period of time, the grinding and polishing effect will be achieved
III. Polishing with Gradually Finer Grits: Proceeding from coarse to fine, replace the emery grit with a finer grade at regular intervals (the times listed below are for reference only; actual polishing times should be adjusted based on the desired results). Ensure the workpiece and abrasive are thoroughly cleaned (failure to do so will directly affect the polishing results) before proceeding to the next step. The following steps are based on the jade polishing process as a reference:
Step 1: 1 part abrasive + 320-mesh sand; polish continuously for approximately 24 hours
Step 2: 1 part abrasive + 800-mesh sand; polish continuously for approximately 24 hours
Step 3: 1 part abrasive + 2000-grit sandpaper; polish continuously for approximately 24 hours
Step 4: 1 part abrasive + 3000-grit sandpaper; polish continuously for approximately 24 hours
Step 5: 1 part abrasive + polishing powder; polish continuously for 24–48 hours until a glossy finish is achieved
Step 6: For an even better finish, add one more polishing step: 1 part walnut shells + Brazilian wax beads; polish continuously for about 4 hours
Note: For Steps 1–5, add a small amount of water periodically during each step; for Step 6, no water is needed
IV. Quantities
Abrasive or walnut shells: Fill approximately 80% of the vibratory barrel’s capacity per batch
Carborundum: Add approximately 50–100 grams (for a small vibratory barrel); adjust the amount based on the size of the vibratory barrel
Polishing powder: Approximately 100 grams (1–2 spoonfuls)
Brazilian wax beads: Generally, add about 100–200 grams; adjust the amount based on the size of the vibrating bucket
V. Moisture Retention: During the polishing process, cover the surface of the vibrating bucket with plastic wrap (or PE film). This helps retain moisture inside the bucket, preventing it from drying out too quickly and causing damage
VI. Monitoring and Adding Water: Every few hours, open the lid to check the polishing progress. If the abrasive appears dry, add an appropriate amount of water to moisten it—but avoid adding too much, as excess water can cause the workpiece to slip. If the polishing result is satisfactory, stop this step, remove the workpiece and abrasive, and proceed to the next polishing stage
Note: The amount of abrasive and polishing time are for reference only; actual results should be the determining factor, and adjustments may be made as needed. During the polishing process, adjustments should be made based on the size of the vibratory tank, polishing requirements, and actual results, with the ultimate goal of meeting the polishing requirements.
