NOTICE: All variable speed models are equipped with a controller that incorporates the protective
properties of a magnetic starter.
NOTICE: All variable speed models use 3-phase motors regardless of incoming phase. In example a
220 volt, single-phase variable speed model uses a 2.0 horse power motor wired for 220 volts, 3
phase.
If you are unsure about the installation of your machine, or its electrical configuration please
consult with the Burr King factory.
Loading media and parts into the machine
If you purchased a media kit from Burr King, install the media and compounds into the chamber using the
prescribed quantities and mixtures. Otherwise follow the instructions provided by your supplier. Do not
exceed the media load prescribed for your machine. The M40 is capable of driving a combined media and
part load of 350 pounds maximum. With ceramic and other lighter forms of media fill the chamber with
media such that during operation the outer edge of the media wave rises to just below the separator tray
(if equipped) or the inner rim located about half way down the chamber inner face.
NOTE: Over loading or over speeding (variable speed) the machine may significantly reduce
expected service life. If you use steel media note that steel media generally weights 200 to 350
pounds per cubic foot (non-steel media generally weights 20 to 125 pounds per cubic foot). To avoid
possible machine damage and/or reduced machine life do not add media and parts to the machine
such that the load exceeds 350 pounds.
Assure that the screen installed in your M40 is suitable to separate your parts and media. The media
should freely flow through the screen and return to the vibratory chamber. The parts should progress
down the separator tray and exit the machine to your container of choice. Note: unless otherwise ordered
your machine is equipped with a screen with 1-inch mesh holes for the media to pass through. 1/2 inch
and 1 3/8 inch mesh screens are available from Burr King Manufacturing.
Place your parts into the tub. The part load prescribed is not a maximum but rather a nominal weight. The
geometry, material, and weight of your parts will determine the part load you can achieve. The greater the
total load, the harder the machine must work to sustain suitable wave and vibration energy delivery. Do
not exceed a maximum total load of 350 pounds. To do so may shorten the life of your machine, damage
your parts, and/or diminish process capability.
Good media and part motion
Vigorous media and part movement evidence good motion. A rotating wave with the highest portion of
the wave rising up the under side of the separator tray signifies proper wave motion. Vibratory wave
motion can be controlled by the speed of the machine (variable speed models), and/or adjusting the
rotating mass by adding or subtracting weight in ½ pound increments, order weight kit part number
3504-1 from the factory.
WARNING: Never apply electrical power to this equipment with the maintenance access panels
removed, or if there is any indication of improper or unsafe operation. Failure to observe this
caution will create a safety hazard.
NOTICE: The drain plug on your M40 is replaceable. If you run fine, dry media install a blanking
plug part number 3508. Other liquid drain plugs are available. Please consult with the factory.
Operation of the M40
WARNING: Avoid fire and explosion hazards. The use of fluids other than water and Burr King
specified soap in your VibraKING ® chamber (or an associated fluid re-circulating system) may
