3P Granule Porcelain Tumbling Media
3P granules are irregularly shaped tumbling media made from a mixture described as sand, abrasives, feldspar, and clay. The range is intended for suitable polishing, burnishing, and light-deburring applications on metal parts.
Grade and Machine Selection
The data sheet lists grades 3P-6, 3P-8, 3P-10, 3P-12, 3P-16, and 3P-20 with their size ranges and distribution. Select the granules around the part dimensions, holes, recesses, and separation method. Check media lodging and complete recovery using representative workpieces.
The range can be evaluated in a compatible centrifugal disc finishing machine or centrifugal barrel machine. Match the media load, compound, operating settings, and cycle to the selected equipment.
Review the Required Finish
For intricate or small parts, assess the accessible surfaces, edge condition, luster, and material removal together. Check dimensions and tolerances after processing before approving the production cycle. Provide the part material, drawings or samples, current surface condition, machine, and desired result for a media review.
