• Vibratory processing creates sludge in the liquid supply system. This sludge is a natural result of the
mechanical abrasion that occurs. The sludge may contain abrasive residue, part material residue, soap, or
other materials that you may introduce into the process. This sludge should be processed and discarded in a
manner that is acceptable to your local, and/or state environmental protection agencies. Since Burr King can
not know what materials a customer may introduce into the process, it cannot provide specific instructions
regarding this topic. Burr King can provide MSD
sheets for all media and chemical products that it
sells.
• Use a filtration system such as the Burr King
FilterPAK 4001 or FilterPAK 8000 to keep your
fluids cleaner too greatly minimize difficulty in
sludge disposal. The FilterPAK 4001 incorporates
inexpensive, disposable filter bags that trap sludge
for ready disposal. Of course the fluid that is
returned to your vibratory chamber is much cleaner.
Cleaner fluids mean cleaner parts, better finishes,
faster processing time, and naturally less mess in
your shop, and responsible waste management.
Many users who process aluminum, steel, iron,
copper, and other non toxic metals find that the
FilterPAK 4001 filter bags may be sent to public
land fills as normal refuse. Always consult with
your local authorities if you are in doubt about
proper waste disposal.
Discharging media/parts
The discharge chute is located on the lower portion of the machine left side. The chute plug may be removed by pulling if
free of the tub. With the machine operating, the media and parts (if smaller than the tube diameter) will cascade from the
tube to a container of you choice. NOTE: When the machine approaches empty it may begin to walk while vibrating.
Should this occur , switch main power switch to “off” and remove the balance of the media/parts manually.
Controlling rancid fluids
Vibratory fluids will accumulate organic contaminants from operators, parts, etc. The fluids may become rancid,
producing a foul smell. You can easily control rancidity by keeping your chamber, filter system, etc. clean. In the event of
rancidity add a small amount of “Lysol” disinfectant to the media while the machine is operating. Ordinarily, a couple of
tablespoons full will work very well and not adversely effect your vibratory processing. In fact, many metal react
favorably with “Lysol” by finishing to a brighter level.
