In surface engineering, SwarcoBlast glass blasting beads are commonly used for the treatment of materials in injection- and pressure-fed blasting systems. The glass blasting beads are made of lead-free, hardened soda-lime silica glass. The beads are available in different variations and applicable for a variety of tasks. SwarcoBlast also notes that the beads are constantly subject to quality controls. The variations of SwarcoBlast’s glass blasting beads are used for cleaning, deburring, smoothening, the reduction of surface roughness, matting, polishing and shot peening of all sorts of materials.
In addition to the glass beads, SwarcoBlast also has a portfolio of other blasting media. SwarcoBlast glass granulates are mainly used for derusting, descaling and the deburring of metallic materials and woodworking; and are well suited for tasks with high ratios of blasting agent loss. Normal-, high-grade- and blasting corundums, crushed grinding wheels, plastic granulates, corn cob shots and walnut shell granulates complete the SwarcoBlast assortment.

Calculating Applied Media Force During Vibratory Finishing
What appear to be identically set-up vibratory bowls will finish identical loads of parts in varying time cycles. This paper offers a new technique to better predict what the operator will produce, by measuring the force applied to the parts. It is the efficiency of that force which controls the efficiency and speed of the refinement cycle.
