Tub Vibrators
Tub vibrators are the ideal solution when workpieces place special demands on the machining area due to their length or geometry. They are characterized by their robust, rectangular design and enable particularly gentle and efficient surface finishing of complex components.
How Tub Vibrators Work
The functionality of our tub vibrators is based on a powerful unbalance motor that sets the rectangular processing bowl into targeted vibrations. These vibrations create an intensive relative movement between the grinding media and the fixed or loosely loaded workpieces. This process ensures uniform material removal and precise edge rounding across the entire length of the workpiece. A particular advantage is the option to divide the trough into several chambers using partitions, allowing for the contact-free processing of sensitive parts. The intensity of the movement can be precisely adjusted to the respective material properties and the desired finish. This ensures process-reliable and consistently reproducible surface quality.
Fields of application
Tub vibrators STV
Tub vibrators are used wherever classic round trough vibrators reach their limits – for example with particularly long, bulky or sensitive workpieces. The modular chamber system allows individual adaptation to the workpiece volume and ensures low-contact processing. The STV series is therefore particularly suitable for industries with special component geometries, e.g. in mechanical engineering or the aviation industry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Trough Vibrators
What workpiece sizes can be processed in trough vibrators?
The processable workpiece sizes primarily depend on the selected machine size and the usable internal length of the processing container. Our trough vibrators are specifically designed for long or bulky components that do not fit into circular systems. The available container volume ranges from a compact 40 liters to a generous 1,000 liters for the STV1000 model. With a maximum container length of up to 2,150 mm, even very large-format workpieces can be processed over their entire length without difficulty. By using adjustable dividers, the processing space can also be flexibly adapted for smaller, touch-sensitive components.
What materials can be processed with trough vibrators?
In our trough vibrators, you can reliably process almost all common industrial materials. The spectrum includes various metals such as steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, as well as a wide range of plastics and ceramic materials. An important prerequisite for optimal results is sufficient inherent rigidity of the component, so that the necessary friction between the abrasive media and the workpiece can be generated. We would be pleased to check the suitability of your specific material for processing in the STV series on a case-by-case basis.
