KVF3 Vibratory Finisher
If you run a machine shop, fabrication shop, or production facility, you already know the problem. Parts come off the machine with burrs, rough edges, and surfaces that aren’t ready for the next step. Hand-finishing each one eats up time and labor. The KVF3 vibratory finisher from Kalamazoo Industries handles that work for you — so your team can focus on what matters most.
This American-made polishing equipment deburs, cleans, and smooths large batches of parts at once. Just load your parts, choose the right media, set the timer, and walk away. The KVF3 does the rest.
Where Shops Use This Equipment
The KVF3 works in just about any shop that needs to finish parts faster. Here are some of the most common uses:
- Machine shops — Remove burrs and tool marks from CNC or lathe parts before assembly or shipment.
- Metal fabrication shops — Clean up laser-cut, stamped, or punched parts in bulk.
- Die cast & molding shops — Handle deflashing on cast or molded parts without slowing down production.
- Maintenance & repair facilities — Strip rust, scale, and old coatings for surface preparation equipment needs before recoating or welding.
- 3D printing / additive shops — Smooth printed metal or plastic parts for a finished look and feel.
If your shop produces parts that need a cleaner edge or a better finish, this machine earns its place on your floor.
Choose the Right Media for the Job
One of the biggest advantages of the KVF3 is media flexibility. You pick the media based on what you need to accomplish:
- Ceramic media — Great for aggressive deburring on steel and hard metals.
- Plastic tumbling media — Ideal for softer metals like aluminum, brass, and zinc where you want to smooth without gouging.
- Steel shot — Use it when you need to peen or brighten parts.
- Walnut shell & corn cob — Perfect for drying, light cleaning, and absorbing oils after wet processing.
The KVF3 runs wet or dry, so you can match your process to the finish you need. Not sure what media works best for your parts? Send Kalamazoo Industries a finished sample and a rough sample — they’ll help you figure it out.
Why Shop Owners Choose the KVF3
- Finishes parts in bulk. Load up to 500 lbs. of media and parts at once. Stop finishing one piece at a time.
- Runs on standard power. The 1 HP, single-phase, 115V motor plugs into your existing shop outlet. No special wiring needed.
- Quiet operation. The insulated lid and walls keep noise down so it won’t drown out your shop.
- Portable. Locking casters let you roll it where you need it and lock it in place.
- Easy to unload. The end chute lets you dump finished parts and media right into a bucket.
- Built to last. The steel tub is lined with cast urethane to stand up to daily use.
- Set it and forget it. The 60-minute timer lets you walk away and come back to finished parts.
This is surface preparation equipment that pays for itself by cutting your hand-finishing labor and speeding up your throughput.
