ABSTRACT:
An apparatus 10 and method for providing a surface finish to articles 12 is disclosed. Various constructions and details are developed which promote the adaptability of the device and method to use in automated facilities employing flow lines to process articles. In one particular embodiment, articles 12 are disposed in predetermined volumes of finishing media 30 which are separated from each other, the finishing media being vibrated as the media is urged along a surface 58 from one location to another by a helicoid-type blade 66. In one embodiment, a media vibrator vibrates the surface 58 to vibrate the media. Any suitable device may be used to provide vibrational energy to the surface.
