ADF Drag Finishing Machine

The ADF Series Drag Finishing Machine offers a cutting-edge, efficient solution for precise edge rounding, smoothing, and mirror finishing. Combining advanced technology with cost-effectiveness, it delivers consistent quality, reliability, and accuracy. In the drag finishing process, components are securely fixed to spindle holders and rapidly moved through specially formulated media. This high-energy motion creates intense friction, allowing for fast and precise deburring, edge rounding, and polishing—while minimising part-to-part contact to prevent damage and ensure uniform, high-quality results.

"Family-run business. We've bought three vibratory bowls machines off them. The first has been so reliable we tagged on another two about a month ago. They are very professional and have worked to understand our needs at every turn. Very friendly - highly recommend."
Tom Cantwell, HD Sports - Vibratory Finishing Troughs
"I have used Acton finishing many times over the years and have always found them very helpful and knowledgeable about vibro finishing. The team will always come over and help and diagnose issues we have with our machines also. Highly recommended."
Luke Parker, Bracebridge Engineering - Vibratory Finishing Troughs
"We worked together to devise a series of tests and these were conducted by ActOn Finishing using a range of technologies employing different media types and a range of run times, to establish the optimised vibro tumbler equipment and process to support our application. This was done quickly and professionally with regular updates along the way. ActOn Finishing’s openness and willingness to conduct trials to establish the most suitable technology and process, was exactly what Ricoh required from a technical partner."
