VibraKING model 25, 45, and 85 operating instructions December 2009
General description
Models 25, 45, and 85 vibratory chambers use commonly available media to de-burr, polish, de-scale, or otherwise
surface condition parts made from various materials. The media and parts achieve the proper processing motion by being
subjected to thrust vectors that apply working force to the combination. A rotating mass that is critically located at a
prescribed angle in relation to the tub center creates this vector force field. The vector field rotates around the tub axis
such that at any point in the wave, the media and parts have properly aligned force vectors applied that sustain the
vibratory wave. If plotted, this field of vectors is coaxial to the tub centerline giving rise to the term “Coaxial Drive”.
“Coaxial Drive” identifies Burr King Manufacturing’s proprietary technology (patents pending).
The M25, M45, and M85 vibratory chambers are inherently well isolated from their environment because of Coaxial
Drive technology. The effect of this isolation is an approximate 3 decibel sound reduction from units of similar size. One
dB represents a 10 times reduction in sound energy and is the smallest change in sound that the human ear can detect. The
decibel scale is logarithmic, thus -1 dB reduction represents a time’s 10 reduction in energy, a -2 dB is a one hundred fold
reduction, and -3 dB a one thousand fold reduction. Additionally, better than 85% of the applied mechanical energy
applied to the vibratory process leaving little extraneous vibration to be absorbed by the floor on which the machine is
mounted. The excellent use of the available energy also allows the vibratory chambers to operate very well with modestly
sized electric motors.
The chambers have two descriptive volumes, “total volume” and “working volume”. The total volume is that volume of
liquid that would fill the tub to its brim. Working volume is approximately 80% of the total volume. Because there are
many different part geometry’s, weights, and materials, meaningful ways to specify working capacity are “working
volume” and “part load”. Working volume includes the volumes occupied by the media and the part's load. Maximum part
load is that part load weight (irrespective of part volume) for which the vibratory chamber can sustain working action.
Factors such as part geometry can reduce or even increase the maximum permissible part load. The final measure of
optimum working capacity then becomes the combined part and media load for which the desired results occur within an
acceptable time frame.

Initial machine setup and operation
CAUTION: This equipment is heavy. Observe good and safe practice when attempting to install,
move, maintain, or otherwise work on it. Failure to observe this caution may create a safety hazard.
Burr King recommends that this equipment be secured to a structurally sound floor. Securing the
machine to the floor will not diminish performance. For portable applications (no bolt down) the
machine feet should be used to assure there is uniform four-point contact with the floor. Do not use the machine
feet to elevate the machine as you may damage the machine feet. The feet have an adjustment range of about ½
inch. SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
Note the following precautions and warnings regarding “machine walking”. “Walking” is the actual movement of
the machine, while operating, from its original point of placement. Please note that when used in the “no bolt down
mode” it is vital that the machine be loaded with media, the drive be adjusted to the minimum necessary for a
vigorous media roll, and the floor have a good gripping surface. Smooth tile, polished concrete and similar floor
surfaces may cause the machine to walk. If you must operate your machine on a very smooth surface secure a
section of good quality indoor/outdoor carpet with a rubber backing. Place your machine on the carpet with the
rubber side of the carpet to the floor.
CAUTION: Machines not “pinned” to the floor may “walk” while operating. Walking may occur with a light total
load, or if one or more of the machine feet are not in firm contact with the floor regardless of the load. Failure to
properly install, adjust, maintain, and operate this machine may create a safety hazard.
Locate the machine conveniently. The floor should be firm
and structurally sound; concrete is an ideal surface. Using the
existing holes as show in the photo to the left mark the floor
and prepare to install an anchor to be used as a location pin.
It is not necessary to bolt the machine to the floor. The
anchors will act as a locating pin and allow the vibratory
machine to rise and fall freely.
•Use high quality anchor bolts
•The machine when mounted on its machine feet
must be free to move vertically. If you tighten the
anchor bolt arrangement the natural motion of the
machine will dislodge the bolts. Note that the
bolts are used as “location pins” and not as
hard tie-downs.
If you elect to retain portability (not using location pins), use
the machine levelers to assure that the machine is level and that all four levelers are firmly in contact with the floor. After
the levelers are properly adjusted secure them by tightening the lock nuts provided firmly to the machine base through
which the leveler threaded shafts are engaged.
Walking is caused by the natural gyroscopic action created by the rotating mass of the drive system. Properly loaded and
leveled the machine should not walk. Should walking occur and not be correctable by leveling or reducing the drive
energy, bolt the machine to the floor as described above.
Floor texture, grease, oil, dust, and other materials that adversely effect the frictional coefficient of the machine feet may
aggravate and/or promote “walking”.

Occupational Noise Exposure
Burr King vibratory tubs produce levels of noise consistent with their intended purposes. The level
and spectral content of noise produced is dependent on the tub size, the degree that the bowl is
maintained in proper operating condition, the abrasive/media and accessories used, the specific
application, use or not of the optional lid, and the surrounding environment. Noise levels produced
by various Burr King vibratory tubs, as measured at the Burr King factory, range from 81 to 93 decibels. Product
operators and persons in the immediate product vicinity should be protected from excessive noise does levels as
prescribed in OSHA regulation 29, part 1910.95 titled “Occupational Noise Exposure”.
Avoid electrocution hazards. This vibratory is not NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X rated. They must
not be used in a manner that allows fluids to enter the unit base, power cord, on/off switch, or
electrical plug. This machine must be installed with a GFCI outlet to minimize the risk of electric
shock or electrocution. If your machine is configured for 208-240 volts you should install a GFCI
circuit in your electrical distribution panel.
Electrical requirements:
CAUTION: Only qualified Electricians should perform electrical installation, adjustments, maintenance, or
modifications to this equipment. Failure to observe this caution may create a safety hazard.
CAUTION: Install this equipment in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Failure to do so may
create a safety hazard.

Unless specified at purchase three phase machines are not equipped with a magnetic starter or power cord. Three
phase machines should be connected to the mains supply via a magnetic starter. Failure to use a magnetic starter
may create a /fire hazard, and/or void the motor warranty.
NOTE: All 3 phase units purchased with an integrated process timer come from the factory with an integrated
magnetic starter. If you are unsure about the installation of your machine or its electrical configuration please
consult the Burr King factory. The integrated 3 phase magnetic starter incorporates 120VAC-button control through the
use of a step down transformer. The step down transformer also provides 120 VAC power for the integrated timer and the
fluid pump.
A special note about motor rotation. Electric motors will operate CW or CCW depending on how the motor is
wired (in the case of tree phase motors how the incoming power is phased). The machine drive shaft must rotate
CCW when view from the discharge chute end of the machine. If the shaft rotates CW the media will not move
properly and vibratory processing time will be significantly increased. If the shaft operates CW reverse the motor
rotation. For three phase machines simply reverse any two incoming feed lines. For single-phase motors see the
motor label plate which will usually direct the reversal of two wires with in the motor conduit box.

Loading media and parts into the machine
If you purchased a media starter kit from Burr King, install the media and compounds into the chamber using the
prescribed quantities and mixtures. Otherwise follow the instructions provided. Do not exceed the media load prescribed
for your machine.
Machine Ceramic media load Part load Max. total load
M25 150 lbs. 100 lbs. 250 lbs.
M45 250 lbs. 225 lbs. 475 lbs.
M85 450 lbs. 450 lbs. 900 lbs.
Please note: Plastic media weights about 60% of an equivalent volume of ceramic media. Walnut shell or corncob weighs
about 20% of an equivalent volume of ceramic media. Unless otherwise known by the factory machines are adjusted at
the factory for ceramic media weight. This means that if you use plastic, walnut, or cob media (i.e.) it may be necessary to
reduce the drive to your machine prior to actual use.. See below
NOTE: Over loading the machine may significantly reduce its service life. If you use steel media note that steel
media weights generally 200 to 350 pounds per cubic foot (Non steel media generally weights 20 to 125 pounds per
cubic foot). To avoid possible machine damages do not add media and parts to the machine such that the total
specified machine load is exceeded.
NOTE: Using too little media in your VibraKING will significantly reduce vibratory motion and adversely affect
processing time and quality. You should have sufficient media in your VibraKING such that the media rises to less
than 6 inches (3-4 inches is ideal) of the rear upper lip of the tub when the machine is operating. Add media as
required to maintain this minimum quantity.
Place your parts into the tub. Note the above part loads. The part load prescribed is not a maximum but rather a nominal
weight. The geometry, material, and weight of your parts will determine the part load you can achieve. The greater the
total load, the harder the machine must work to sustain suitable wave and vibration energy delivery. Do not exceed the
maximum total loads specified. To do so may shorten the life of your machine, and/or diminish its process capability.
Good media and part motion
Vigorous media and part movement evidence good motion. A rotating wave with the highest portion of the wave rising up
the back wall of the machine and the front portion of the wave substantially below the rear portion should exist. With
good action the parts circulate and rise to the rear of the tub, then cascade down the wave to the tub front. Should you not
observe this quality of motion, check that the machine is loaded properly (see the previous table). To reduce the tendency
for the machine to walk reduce the drive energy. You may increase or decrease the vibratory energy delivered to the tub
by adjusting the rotating mass as follows:
CAUTION: Never apply electrical power to this equipment with the maintenance access panels removed, or if
there is any indication of improper or unsafe operation. Failure to observe this caution may create a safety hazard.
a. Disconnect main power.
b. Remove the rear panel.
c. Observe the rotating mass and the position of the counter weights in respect to each other.
d. To increase delivered energy adjust the weights to greater agreement in alignment. Do this by loosening the
weight set screws one at time and rotating the weight on the drive shaft. Tighten the set screws. Conversely, to
reduce delivered energy reduce the alignment of the counter weights.
NOTE: The weights must be aligned in pairs. There must always be an even number of weights at any given
angular displacement. Failure to observe this requirement will shorten the life of the machine and seriously reduce
processing efficiency.
e. Do not adjust the counter weights such that excessive energy is delivered to the media/parts. If you observe that the
media jumps vertically, or if you hear excessive noise generation, or if the media or parts are damaged during processing,
or if the machine walks, you may need to reduce the delivered energy.
M254585opinst NEW 2009.doc - 12/30/2009

NOTE: The machines are adjusted at the factory for a
ceramic media load with maximum specified part load.
If lighter media (such as walnut shell) is used, or light
part loads are instilled the drive energy should be
reduced by adjusting the rotating counter weights as
previously described. Doing thus will reduce the
tendency of the machine to walk while retaining
sufficient drive energy for good processing.
These are only a starting point. The drive percentage
will be affected by the weight of your part load along
with the weight per cubic foot of media.
NOTE: Your machine may be operated with many
media types. Your machine is provided with a plugging
accessory that is to be installed when dry media is used.
This accessory is a simple plumbing part that is to be
threaded into the drain outlet of the chamber. Of
course, when performing dry processing the fluid
delivery system is turned OFF. If you desire to switch
the machine back to wet processing, remove the
plugging accessory, clean the dry media from the drain
plumbing, and connect the wet drain plumbing.
Operation of your VibraKING
The “on/off” controls for the main drive motor and the liquid pump are marked on the control panel.
During processing you will normally apply both switches to the “on” position. Leaving the liquid pump in the “off”
position inhibits the delivery of liquids and compounds.
VibraKING chambers are shipped from the factory with a re-circulating liquid supply system that includes a switch,
pump, connecting hose, metering valve, and recovery sump bucket that serves to collect the fluid output from the
chamber. If you purchased a FilterPAK 4001 with the machine the machine will be plumbed for this accessory.
In general, adjust the inlet fluid valve to “offline” about 60 degrees. Use enough fluid to maintain the media wet but not so
much as to leave fluid standing in the machine, which will dampen operation. Of course use of certain dry application
media types such as walnut shell require that the fluid be left in the OFF condition.
Reference weight adjustments:
80% Drive – Ceramic Media
70% Drive – Plastic Media
60% Drive – Dry Media
Factory Set-up on a M45 for Ceramic
Notice the 2nd dot on the weights. Starting on the outside
weight, align the set screw to the flat area of the shaft. Then
begin to align the weight from there making sure that the left
and right side are similar. To change to 70% drive adjust the
weights so you can see three dots.
NOTE: The drain (P/N 3599, 3599-1, 0r 3599-2) for your machine was installed at the factory, it can be removed
and replaced. Drain 3599 has 0.201 diameter holes and is installed as the standard drain at the factory. Should
the media you select require a finer drain select P/N 3599-1 with 0.125 diameter holes, or for a drain less prone to
plugging select P/N 3599-2 with 0.257 diameter holes.

Avoid fire and explosion hazards. The use of fluids other than water and Burr King specified soaps in your VibraKING
chamber (or an associated fluid re-circulating system) may create a fire/explosion hazard that could result in personal
injury, or death. Use only clean water with recommended soaps.
Avoid eye damage, flesh burns, and/or poisoning. Many vibratory processing soaps, compounds, and media are
acidic or caustic. Wear appropriate flesh and eye protection gear when using vibratory soaps and compounds, and
when working around and with your VibraKING chamber. Do not ingest these materials. MSDS sheets are
available for all soaps, compounds, and media sold by Burr King Manufacturing. Obtain, read , and apply the
precautions specified in the MSDS sheets.
Precautions you must take with fluids and other materials
Only use fluid as recommended by Burr King Manufacturing. The liner used in the VibraKING (urethane) is very tough
and resistant to abrasion. Certain chemicals may however, attack it. In example, mineral spirits may leach agents from the
urethane and reduce its service life. If in doubt consult with Burr King or a chemist who is knowledgeable about urethane.
Remember, never use flammable chemicals in your VibraKING chamber. Likewise, many chemicals can damage the
pump and associated apparatus.
Additionally, there are many different chemicals in use as coolants, cutting fluids, and for other purposes commonly
found in facilities such as machine shops. Burr King cannot guarantee the compatibility of the various soaps and fluids
that we sell with the chemicals and fluids you may use. You as the consumer must assure that the fluids and chemicals
that you elect to use are compatible with each other and with other materials. It is possible that chemical reactions
between fluids and/or materials that you use could be a treat to human health and safety; and/or create conditions
that are deleterious to the VibraKING system, peripheral equipment, and/or your parts.
There are many compounds that are available to use in vibratory machines depending on the materials, media, and results
that you are using and desire. Fluids and compounds serve to improve finish, speed results, extend media life, and in some
cases to retard oxide formation. The following is a partial list of guidelines:
1. When processing aluminum or other non-ferrous materials to a burr free state with matte finish select liquid soap such
as BKS60 and mix it with water at a concentration of 1 to 3 ounces per gallon of water. Adjust the metering valve to
deliver a steady trickle of fluid to the chamber. A reasonable mechanical gauge is to set the metering valve so that it is
approximately at a 45-degree angle to the centerline of the valve. For finer fluid control you must install a flow meter,
most users find this unnecessary. If you elect to install a flow meter set the fluid flow between 1 and 8 gallons per hour as
a starting point. To improve your parts surface condition post processing always rinse your parts in clean water shortly
after removing them from the chamber, then dry them to minimize spotting. Remember that many metals will oxide
rapidly when machining, etc. expose fresh metal (as is the case with vibratory processing). If this is a problem there are
various chemicals that are available that you may use to dip your parts in post vibratory process to minimize oxide
formation. Consult with your metals supplier, or Burr King Manufacturing.
2. When processing steel and other ferrous materials to a burr free state with a matte finish select a liquid soap that also
contains a rust inhibitor such as AR60, OR RUSTX100 and mix it with water at a concentration of 1 to 3 ounces per
gallon of water. Adjust the metering valve to deliver a steady trickle of fluid to the chamber. A reasonable mechanical
gauge is to set the metering valve so that it is approximately at a 45-degree angle to the centerline of the valve. For finer
fluid control you must install a flow meter, most users find this unnecessary. If you elect to install a flow meter set the
fluid flow between 1 and 8 gallons per hour as a starting point. To improve your parts surface condition post processing
always rinse your parts in clean water shortly after removing them from the chamber, then dry them to minimize rusting.
Remember that ferrous metals will oxide rapidly when machining, etc. expose fresh metal (as is the case with vibratory
processing). AR60, OR RUSTX100 will provide temporary retardation of rust formation. Depending on humidity,
temperature, and other conditions the temporary rust inhibition will be from a few hours to several days. If your materials
require longer protection, concentrated rust inhibitors are available that you may use to dip your parts in post vibratory
process to inhibit rust formation for several days to several months. NOTE: RUSTX100 may be used as a vibratory soap
Wear proper clothing and
personal protection equipment
when operating your machine!

in concentrations up to 8 ounces per gallon of water; used as such it provides superior rust retardation. For special
problems with rust or other staining consult with your metals supplier, or Burr King Manufacturing.
3. When de-scaling steel (i.e.) use a de-scaling agent such as BKD80. This compound is used in place of other soaps and
mixed in ratios from 3 to 6 ounces/gallon of water. Following processing neutralize the parts by dipping them in a rich
solution of AR60, OR RUSTX100 soap (6-ounces/gallon water) and then dry the parts. BKD80 is corrosive, wear
appropriate protective gear for the eyes, hands, and other body tissues.
3. Many materials may be brought to a fine, lustrous, low RMS finish by using non-abrasive ceramic polishing media
together with a burnishing compound metered with the water. Follow the burnishing compound manufacturer's
instructions as to concentration, etc.. Clean and dry your parts as described above immediately after processing.
4. Many materials may be polished to a high luster using special media such as walnut shell, corncob, etc. Typically, these
types of media are used dry, without the use fluids. If you wish to use dry process media do not use the liquid delivery
system. It will also be necessary to plug the outlet drain of your VibraKING chamber to prevent the media from escaping
out the outlet. This can be done using common plumbing devices available at ordinary hardware stores, or from Burr King
Manufacturing. Never operate the liquid pump dry. Doing so may damage the pump.
Units equipped with process timers Units equipped with process timers provide for selection and control of
processing time without intervention by the operator except for selecting
processing time and pressing the start button control. At conclusion of the
selected time period the machine and the liquid pump will stop operation. The
timers use high quality electronics that will handle the high surge currents
required by induction motors when starting. The process time, time units, and
time scale can be selected or be reset anytime that the unit is not operating.
Proper operation of the timer requires that the “MODE” control be in the A
position. All functions of the timer are selectable on the outside of the timer
module by using a small philips screwdriver to rotate the selector. The face of
the timer control device will show the selected parameters as the screwdriver
is rotated.
Older units with prior serial numbers require the complete removal of
electrical power in order to reset the timer. Also prior serial number units
require that the “MODE” selection be SF or PO.
Tips for optimizing your vibratory process results
It is impossible to anticipate all possible combinations of materials, shapes, media, and compounds that customers may
use in this equipment. It is therefore, not possible to provide specific directions for media selection, compounds, process
times, etc. There are, however, general guidelines that will help to target the optimum process. These include:
•Select your media and compounds after consulting with the Burr King factory, a qualified media supply
house, or your Burr King distributor. See the previous section on using fluids and compounds.
•Clean your equipment regularly. This will help in keeping your processed parts free of stains, dust, etc.
•Use fresh fluids and change them often.
•Clean and rinse parts quickly after processing. Non ferrous parts may stain if not cleaned and dried properly.
Ferrous parts may rust. There are compound additives that will help in removing and/or preventing part
staining.
•Media wears out in time. The longer media is used the less is its cutting power. This “wearing out” is akin to
the exhaustion of life encountered with an abrasive belt, or wheel. Softer materials such as aluminum tend to
clog the media, harder materials tend to wear the surface of the media. The use of fluids will help to optimize
your results. Burr King recommends that you establish a regular schedule for changing and discarding your
media. You will gain knowledge regarding process times, media life, etc.. Keeping records of your process
variables will help you optimize your process.

•Vibratory processing creates sludge in the liquid supply system. This sludge is a natural result of the
mechanical abrasion that occurs. The sludge may contain abrasive residue, part material residue, soap, or
other materials that you may introduce into the process. This sludge should be processed and discarded in a
manner that is acceptable to your local, and/or state environmental protection agencies. Since Burr King can
not know what materials a customer may introduce into the process, it cannot provide specific instructions
regarding this topic. Burr King can provide MSD
sheets for all media and chemical products that it
sells.
•Use a filtration system such as the Burr King
FilterPAK 4001 or FilterPAK 8000 to keep your
fluids cleaner too greatly minimize difficulty in
sludge disposal. The FilterPAK 4001 incorporates
inexpensive, disposable filter bags that trap sludge
for ready disposal. Of course the fluid that is
returned to your vibratory chamber is much cleaner.
Cleaner fluids mean cleaner parts, better finishes,
faster processing time, and naturally less mess in
your shop, and responsible waste management.
Many users who process aluminum, steel, iron,
copper, and other non toxic metals find that the
FilterPAK 4001 filter bags may be sent to public
land fills as normal refuse. Always consult with
your local authorities if you are in doubt about
proper waste disposal.
Discharging media/parts
The discharge chute is located on the lower portion of the machine left side. The chute plug may be removed by pulling if
free of the tub. With the machine operating, the media and parts (if smaller than the tube diameter) will cascade from the
tube to a container of you choice. NOTE: When the machine approaches empty it may begin to walk while vibrating.
Should this occur , switch main power switch to “off” and remove the balance of the media/parts manually.
Controlling rancid fluids
Vibratory fluids will accumulate organic contaminants from operators, parts, etc. The fluids may become rancid,
producing a foul smell. You can easily control rancidity by keeping your chamber, filter system, etc. clean. In the event of
rancidity add a small amount of “Lysol” disinfectant to the media while the machine is operating. Ordinarily, a couple of
tablespoons full will work very well and not adversely effect your vibratory processing. In fact, many metal react
favorably with “Lysol” by finishing to a brighter level.

Maintenance of your Burr King vibratory chamber
Maintenance consists of cleaning the unit, assuring mechanical fasteners are secure, assuring the drive belt is properly
tensioned, and occasionally lubricating the drive shaft bearings.
After initial 24 Hrs of Operation
•Adjust Drive Belt Tension – ½” Deflection at 2-3 lbs
•Inspect For Loose Hardware
Every 30 Days of Operation
•Adjust Drive Belt Tension – ½” Deflection at 2-3 lbs
•Lubricate Bearings – NLGI#2 Lithium or Lithium Complex, Caution – Do not use excessive grease.
•Torque Bearing Mounts – 40-50 ft-lbs
•Torque Motor Mounts – 130-140 in-ozs
•Torque Bearing Shafts Sets – 65-70 in-ozs
•Torque Tub Mounts – 240-280 in-ozs
•Inspect For Loose Hardware
•Clean as Required
NOTE: Instructions for maintenance are also printed on the maintenance label affixed to the front access panel of
the machine.
Special note about the motor mount and drive belt(s)
Do not over tighten the drive belt. The machine will run better with a drive belt that in another application would appear
to be running too loose. Over tightening the drive belt will result in premature motor failure.
Warranty service and replacement parts
Should you require warranty service, or replacement parts, please contact your Burr King distributor. The Burr King
factory may be reached at 1-660-438-8998. The motor manufacturer warrants the main drive electric motor; to obtain
motor warranty service contact the motor manufacturer’s service center in your area. NOTE: when inquiring about
warranty service or replacement parts please be prepared to provide the actual machine part number, and its
serial number.
Modifications to your vibratory chamber
CAUTION: Modification of the machine from its as shipped condition from the factory may create a safety
hazard, and may void the factory warranty. If you have any questions in this regard please consult the factory
before making any modifications.

General Information
Successful parts processing depends not only on the capability of equipment used, but also on
the type, shape and size of the media used.
Users whose work requires preforms will find that an understanding of the types available will
influence the quality of their work as well as time cycles and operating procedure.
We are totally capable of rendering assistance in your selection of specific media and equipment
for your particular problem in deburring and finishing.
We base our recommendations and technical information on testing we consider reliable, but
they are based on information we assume is correct from our dealers, agents and customers.
Soap Solutions
AR-60 - Anti Rust solution is the neutral liquid used for prevention of oxidation and rust
formation. Excellent for rinse after tumbling to prevent spotting and streaking of aluminum
and magnesium. Can be mixed hot or cold. When used as a dip will impart a dry, on oily
microscopic film which does not require removal for subsequent operations. Anti rust is
mildly sudsy.
BKS-60 soap solution has a slightly alkaline liquid that is especially designed for vibratory
equipment as it is a low sudser. Contains some petroleum additives.
