Mass Finishing in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Mass finishing is a term for high-volume bulk processing using various forms of vibratory equipment and media to achieve the desired finish at a relatively low cost per unit. These services are perfect when you have a large number of small to medium-sized components that require:
- Burr removal
- Radius edges for safe handling or dimensional purposes
- Preparation for plating
- Texturing for adhesion
- Polishing for appearance
- Surface cleaning, descaling or smoothing
- Deflashing
- Burnishing for cosmetic value
What We Do
There are a variety of services offered under the mass finishing umbrella, such as vibratory/tumble deburring, burnishing, and high-energy/centrifugal finishing. The ideal mass finishing process will depend on your desired end results for your batch of parts — and Eaglemaster is here to make sure you achieve them. Get in touch with us today or check out the services we offer below!
Vibratory Finishing & Tumble Deburring
Most often used for cleaning parts, smoothing surfaces and removing burrs and edges, the vibratory finishing process uses tumble deburring machines and specifically chosen media to finish components. Vibratory mass finishing services can be used either as the final step or for preparing parts for further finishing processes.

Steel Ball Burnishing
If your parts need deburring, but you’re also after a cosmetically appealing finish, steel ball burnishing can provide both in a single process. Hardened steel media and carefully selected compounds are used in vibratory machines to deburr components and leave them with a shiny, polished finish.

Centrifugal Barrel Finishing
If you’re looking for a quick turnaround or need a high-energy finishing process to achieve results that vibratory finishing or tumbling alone can’t match, centrifugal barrel finishing is the way to go. This process is often used for high-value parts because they can be compartmentalized to avoid accidental damage. Centrifugal barrel finishing is also an ideal mass finishing service for parts that need aggressive edge and radius removal, a highly cosmetic appearance or have low micro-finish requirements.

Mechanical Metal Polishing
Parts requiring highly cosmetic surface finishes could benefit from mechanical metal polishing. By using polishing media and either vibratory or centrifugal machines, the surface of parts are smoothed, cleaned and polished. The result is a shiny finish that reduces friction — ideal for applications like jewelry, hardware and even medical components.
