Track media wear, replacement intervals and cost per batch in vibratory finishing.

Media life cycle analysis connects consumable cost to process stability. Media wears, rounds and shrinks during production. As size changes, cutting rate, lodging risk and process consistency also change.

Media cost per batch = media wear kg per batch x media price per kg

Track media level, average size, sludge generation and replacement intervals. A predictable replacement rule is better than waiting for sudden process failure.
