Maintaining a vibratory system is crucial for keeping your equipment running smoothly and ensuring optimal performance. Burr King understands that using the right vibratory soaps and compounds can make a significant difference in your system's effectiveness and longevity.

Why Vibratory Cleaning Compounds Matter

Vibratory soaps and compounds are specially formulated to tackle specific tasks, such as rust removal or deburring. Unlike standard soaps, these compounds are designed to clean, lubricate and protect your equipment. They help keep your system free from debris and oils, reduce friction in vibratory bowls, enhance part shine and smoothness, and extend the lifespan of both the media and the system itself.

Top Vibratory Compounds for Ferrous Materials

AR-60: This anti-rust liquid prevents oxidation for up to two days.

RUST X-100: A dip compound that offers rust protection for up to two months.

RUST X-300: An environmentally safe, water-based rust remover suitable for tools and auto parts.

BKS-45: A low-foam liquid cleaning and deburring compound ideal for non-metallic medias, leaving no powdery residue.

BKB-40: A burnishing compound that prevents rust and produces a bright finish on various ferrous metals.

Top Vibratory Compounds for Non-Ferrous Materials

BKS-60: A general-purpose cleaner that controls white film residue, effective with plastic, synthetic, and ceramic media.

BKS-70: A slightly alkaline compound safe for aluminum and other metals, creating bright, clean parts.

BKS-45: Also used for non-ferrous materials, this compound excels in reducing foaming and maximizing media efficiency.

BKS-32: Ideal for burnishing, deburring, and cleaning various metals and alloys, except for zinc and aluminum die cast.

Additional Cleaning Solutions

Burr King also offers other solutions for specific needs:

Defoamer BKDF: Reduces foaming issues in vibratory machines using plastic media, effectively removing oil and grease.

Anti-Stick Beads: Prevent parts from sticking together or to machine walls, though not suitable for flow-through systems.

Citric Acid Crystals: Remove rust and paint, and brighten yellow metals. Post-use parts should be treated with an anti-rust compound.

Choosing the right vibratory cleaning compound can enhance your system’s performance, improve part quality, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. The experts at Burr King can guide you in selecting the optimal solution for your specific needs and applications.
