Flying saucer balls are specially shaped metal finishing media with a compact ball-cone profile. They are used for polishing, burnishing, light deburring and cleaning metal parts in vibratory or tumbling processes. Material and dimensions can be produced according to samples or confirmed requirements.
Also known as ball-cone or satellite finishing media, flying saucer balls provide a different contact pattern from conventional round balls.
Flying saucer balls are compact metal media with a rounded center and tapered sides. Their special profile is commonly selected for mass-finishing processes such as polishing, burnishing, light deburring and surface cleaning.
They can be used in vibratory finishing machines and barrel tumbling equipment for hardware, metal components and irregularly shaped workpieces. As specifications vary by equipment and application, material, overall diameter, height and surface finish should be confirmed according to samples or processing requirements. Please contact our sales team for further evaluation.
