MINI-SONIC TUMBLERS
MINI-SONIC- PROFESSIONAL GEM AND JEWELRY PROCESSOR
Compact and Multi-Powered, Process Most Materials Quickly...Uses Standard Abrasives or VIBRA-DRY.
Mini-Sonic tumblers produce over 3000 vibrations/minute plus rotational action. Compact in size, quite in operation. Extra hoppers are available at a modest price. Material easily inspected at any time without shutting off the unit. No gas buildup so no venting required. Made of stainless steel, vinyl. and aluminum. Guaranteed for one full year. 115V/60Hz.
Two types of intensity controls available:
Single speed- Intensity adjusted with an ordinary 7/16" socket tool.
Variable speed- intensity adjusted instantly with a turn of a dial on the front panel.
MINI-SONIC MSV-4 VIBRATORY TUMBLER
The MT-4SV Mini-Sonic Tumbler is the best all-around tumbler on the market when it comes to performance, easy operation, and long-lasting service. You can tumble polish almost any kind of stone, from opal to topaz, delicate carvings and preforms, as well as metal items such as coins, jewelry findings, shell casings, etc.
It's unique tumbling operation is the key to the high performance of the MT-4SV. The vibratory motion is achieved without any moving parts. It improves the polishing process and uses only a small amount of abrasive compound to ordinary tumblers.
Load capacity is approximately four pounds including stone, fillers, and abrasives. You control the rotation and intensity of the tumbler operation with solid state electronic controls.
Hoppers give exceptionally long wear. They are made of cast polyvinyl. With no motor, belts or pulleys to worry about, you have a tumbler built for years of worry free service.
HOW THE MT-4SV WORKS
The MT-4 Mini-Sonic Tumbler operates without shafts, belts, pulleys, eccentric weight or even a motor--no moving parts, so the MT-4 will far outlast other types of tumblers. It operates on a unique principle employing interrupted electrical current that provides vibration as the driving force powering the rotation of the load. Operating frequency is in excess of 3,500 vibrations per minute.
Rotation and intensity is adjustable with solid state electronic controls. During rotation, the tumbling load is alternately separated and compacted during each vibratory cycle. This improves the tumbling process and allows fresh abrasives to be drawn in between materials in the tumbler hopper. Only the contents inside the hopper actually rotate while the hopper itself remains practically motionless except for the driving arc of the motion.
Only a small amount of abrasives are required in the Mini-Sonic tumbling process compared to ordinary tumblers. As the abrasive begins to pulverize or break-down and combines with rock dust and water, a slurry or coating mixture is formed, and it is this coating which should be maintained throughout all the tumbling processes. Too much water or too much abrasives will cause materials to collect in the bottom of the hopper and not rotate properly. It is only necessary to maintain a thin coating of abrasive slurry between the materials in the load to keep the polishing process working properly.
COMPACT TUMBLER
The MINI-SONIC MT-4 Tumbler, 15" L x 9" W x 8" H, is the most compact vibrating, electronic tumbler ever constructed. Up to 4 lb (Approx. 0.085cf.) hopper capacity.

MINI-SONIC MT- 10
CHOOSE THE TUMBLER THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS: FIVE MINI-SONIC OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.
You control the tumbling action with a Mini-Sonic Tumbler, from the gentile processing of opal to the full power processing of agates, jaspers, topaz, metals etc. Tumble polish baroques, preforms. beads, sea shells, ect., fast and efficiently and without changing of any measurable degree. You can even tumble polish carvings without wearing away delicate features.
Both the MT-10 and MT-14 feature dial feed controls for selecting the power required to control tumbling action and speed of rotation.
The Mini-Sonic tumblers are not your ordinary vibratory tumblers-- the patented action of the Mini-Sonic Tumblers is achieved without shafts, belts, pulleys, eccentric weights or even a motor. Without any moving parts to wear out or a motor to burn up, these tumblers will outlast any other vibratory type tumbler.
NOTE: THE SINGLE SPEED MODELS WITH MANUAL CONTROLS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
HOW TO ORDER
We offer two tumbler base sizes with a variety of hoppers, as per the options illustrated. First select the base, either the MT-10 or MT-14, that will best suit your needs. Then select the hopper option you prefer , and then use the appropriate chart for your option to order from.
You do not necessarily have to limit the number of hoppers you select to the options shown. Having extra hoppers, especially for the polishing stage, is recommended to prevent contamination.
NOTE: Export models come in both 230V and 240V. Please make certain you order the right model for your voltage requirements. The 240V motors are more expensive than the 220V motors
MULTI-POWERED....Select one or two hoppers with controlled intensity for each independently. Do two operations simultaneously with 2-4 lb. hoppers or use the 10 lb. hopper (Approx. 0.21 cf.) 16" L x 12" W x 8" H.
