Match the Pyramid Shape to the Part
Pyramid media provides edges and contact points for finishing suitable surfaces, recesses, and features. The original listing describes plastic pyramid media for light deburring and smoothing of brass, copper, and aluminum. The selected grade and process determine the cutting action and surface texture.
Choose the Material and Cutting Grade
Plastic, ceramic, and porcelain pyramid options are described on this page. Confirm the available formulation, size, cutting grade, and application with Inovatec. A shape alone does not define the abrasive content, cutting rate, wear rate, or final brightness.
Check Access and Media Lodging
The original listing includes a nominal 1/4-inch (approximately 6 mm) size. Compare the complete media dimensions with holes, slots, recesses, and separation equipment. Test new and worn media because size changes during use can create different lodging risks.
Review Equipment Compatibility
The source describes use with vibratory, rotary barrel, and centrifugal finishing equipment. Confirm media size and grade against the selected machine, part loading, and process. For disc systems, review the gap and the minimum permitted part and media dimensions.
Agree on the Finishing Result
Establish the target burr removal, edge radius, surface texture, cleaning, and dimensional limits. Evaluate representative parts before fixing the process time or production loading. Finishing media does not provide a general guarantee of increased material strength or corrosion resistance.
Request a Pyramid Media Recommendation
Send part drawings or photographs, material, dimensions, holes and slots, starting surface, target finish, machine details, and required quantity. Inovatec can review available media grades and sizes, sample testing, and a quotation.

What Is Pyramid Tumbling Media?
It is preformed media with a pyramid geometry for a specified mass finishing process. The formulation and grade determine its cutting and surface-conditioning behavior.
Which Materials Are Described?
This page describes plastic, ceramic, and porcelain options. Confirm the actual grade and composition; availability is not established by shape alone.
How Does It Work?
Machine movement creates contact between media and the part. Select the grade, loading, process conditions, and time for the required burr removal or surface treatment.
How Should Size Be Selected?
Compare complete media dimensions with part features and separation equipment. Test both new and worn media for access and lodging.
Which Parts Are Suitable?
The source describes plastic grades for light deburring of brass, copper, and aluminum. Other materials and geometries require their own grade and process review.
Which Machines Can Use It?
Vibratory, rotary barrel, and centrifugal equipment are described. Confirm grade, dimensions, load, and any disc-gap restrictions for the selected machine.
Which Benefits Should Be Specified?
Agree on burr removal, edge radius, texture, cleanliness, and dimensions. Avoid general strength or corrosion-resistance guarantees without application testing.
How Does Media Wear Affect Use?
Wear changes media size and can affect cutting, access, lodging, and separation. Inspect the charge and remove undersized or damaged media as required by the process.
What Problems Can Occur?
Possible issues include lodging, excessive edge rounding, dimensional change, residual contamination, and part-on-part damage. Evaluate these during the trial.
How Are Production Applications Assessed?
Use the actual part drawing and acceptance criteria. A broad industry description does not establish suitability for every component.
What Information Is Needed for a Quote?
Provide material, part features, target surface, existing machine, requested media size or grade, and quantity. Confirm the final selection through sample testing.
