P-6
HARDWOOD PEG
107-106
APPLICATIONS: For tumbling, smoothing
and polishing plastics in Dry Process
Barrel Finishing.
Also, may be used for
drying parts in a two-part system with
granular wood flake where corncob is
problematical. Can be used with other
granular dry media to build bulk density
and cushion parts in the system.

pegs, wedges) to provide more efficient
surface contact for plastics, Barrel
Polish Applications. Can be blended
with Dry Granular Media in High Energy
Equipment for greater mass or bulk of
the mix.
WHY HARDWOOD
MEDIA?
There
are several reasons why “Hardwood Media”
is used almost universally in these
types of applications. (1) Hardwood
media is of the proper bulk-density to
provide both the weight needed in the
abrasive operation, and at the same
time, provide the “cushioning effect”
needed to prevent part-on-part
impingement. (2) Hardwood media is an
excellent coating-transfer medium, which
is why it is depended on so heavily in
polishing and waxing operations. (3)
Retrievability - hardwoods media is a
multi-cycle media that retains its
effectiveness through many cycles. When
compared with granular Medias (corn cob
meal, sawdust, etc.) which often retain
their effectiveness for only one or, at
best, a few process cycles-its economic
advantages become obvious.
AMERICAN HARDWOOD TUMBLING & FINISHING
MEDIA
Hardwood performs have been proven to be
effective in a wide variety of
applications for mass -finishing of
materials as diverse as plastics,
ceramics, wood, metals and other
materials.
American Hardwood Media is one of the
oldest forms of media in use today and
has proven effective, durable and cost –
efficient in a wide variety of
applications.
