Vibro-tumbling department for pre- and post-galvanic treatments
Vibro-tumbling
An advanced system for metal surface processing, ideal for pre-galvanic smoothing and roughing treatments, and for creating the vintage effect on fashion, luxury, and design accessories.
Vibratory finishing technology for unique finishes
The LEM Vibro-tumbling Finishing Department, active since 2006, is one of our most established production areas. Here, a traditional technique is applied with artisanal precision to optimize the surface of metal accessories destined for the luxury world, ensuring an impeccable result both before and after surface treatments.
In the pre-galvanic phase, vibratory finishing performs “deburring” and “smoothing” to improve coating adhesion and ensure surface uniformity. After galvanization, it creates the distinctive “aged” and “worn” effect, essential for the Vintage finish, one of the most sought-after by fashion and luxury brands.
