For finer fluid control you must install a flow meter, most users find this unnecessary. If you elect to
install a flow meter set the fluid flow between 1 and 8 gallons per hour as a starting point. To improve
your parts surface condition post processing always rinse your parts in clean water shortly after removing
them from the chamber, then dry them to minimize rusting. Remember that ferrous metals will oxide
rapidly when machining, etc. expose fresh metal (as is the case with vibratory processing). AR60 or
RUST X-100 will provide temporary retardation of rust formation. Depending on humidity, temperature,
and other conditions the temporary rust inhibition will be from a few hours to several days. If your
materials require longer protection, concentrated rust inhibitors are available that you may use to dip your
parts in post vibratory process to inhibit rust formation for several days to several months. Consult with
your metals supplier, or Burr King Manufacturing.
3. When de-scaling steel (i.e.) use a de-scaling agent such as BKD80. This compound is used in place of
other soaps and mixed in ratios from 3 to 6 ounces/gallon of water. Following processing neutralize the
parts by dipping them in a rich solution of AR60 soap (6-ounces/gallon water) and then dry the parts.
4. Many materials may be brought to a fine, lustrous, low RMS finish by using non-abrasive porcelain
polishing media together with a burnishing compound such as BKB40 metered with the water. Follow the
burnishing compound manufacturer's instructions as to concentration, etc.. Clean and dry your parts as
described above immediately after processing.
5. Many materials may be polished to a high luster using special media such as walnut shell, corncob, etc.
Typically, these types of media are used dry, without the use of fluids. If you wish to use dry process
media do not use the liquid delivery system. It will also be necessary to plug the outlet drain of your
VibraKING chamber to prevent the media from escaping out the outlet. Secure a drain plug (P/N 3508)
from Burr King Manufacturing for this purpose. NOTICE: Never operate the liquid pump dry. Doing
so may damage the pump.
A note about the center hub cover panel
The center hub of the machine is provided with a cover attached with 4 screws. This panel has two
purposes:
1. As a air flow conduit to assure adequate drive system cooling.
2. As a safety shield to prevent inadvertent personnel contact with the internal rotating parts.
DO NOT allow fluids, debris, parts, or other foreign materials to enter the center hub of the
machine. Doing so may cause the machine to mal-function and will shorten bearing service life. The
holes in the panel are necessary for proper cooling.
A special note about fluids
Use fluids fluid as recommended by Burr King Manufacturing or other thrust worthy source. The liner
used in the VibraKING (urethane) is very tough and resistant to abrasion. Certain chemicals may
however, attack it. In example, mineral spirits will leach the agents from the urethane and reduce its
service life. If in doubt consult with Burr King or a chemist who is knowledgeable about urethane.
Likewise, many chemicals can damage the pump and associated apparatus.
Precautions you must take with fluids and other materials
Only use fluid as recommended by Burr King Manufacturing. The liner used in the VibraKING
(urethane) is very tough and resistant to abrasion. Certain chemicals may however, attack it. In example,
mineral spirits may leach agents from the urethane and reduce its service life. If in doubt consult with
Burr King or a chemist who is knowledgeable about urethane. Remember; never use flammable
chemicals in your VibraKING chamber. Likewise, many chemicals can damage the pump and associated
apparatus.
Additionally, there are many different chemicals in use as coolants, cutting fluids, and for other purposes
commonly found in facilities such as machine shops. Burr King cannot guarantee the compatibility of the
various soaps and fluids that we sell with the chemicals and fluids you may use. You as the consumer
must assure that the fluids and chemicals that you elect to use are compatible with each other and with
other materials. It is possible that chemical reactions between fluids and/or materials that you use
could be a treat to human health and safety; and/or create conditions that are deleterious to the
VibraKING system, peripheral equipment, and/or your parts.
