The UV-18 is an industrial grade, 6-quart capacity vibrator tumbler that can handle up to 100 small rings with media. The UV-18 is built for heavy-duty use and has the connections on the bowl for a flow-thru system. The UV-18 works with all types of medias, although the use of steel shot* is not recommend by the manufacturer (consider using ceramic round shot to get similar results over a longer period of time).
*The UV-18 has an 18lb gross weight capacity of media and items being processed combined. If you filled the UV-18 bowl to the interior fill line with steel shot you would exceed the 18 lb capacity with steel shot alone! Overloading the unit will cause failure of the unit and voids the factory warranty. Since the tumbling action requires media being filled to the interior fill line of the bowl for the proper movement of the media, you should not use steel shot with the UV-18. There is one work around if you just have to use steel shot. You can buy a smaller UV-10 bowl and fit it to a UV-18 base.
Please note: that you will have to modify to UV-10 bowl to fit. Modifications require raising the base of the UV-10 bowl by adding additional padding to the outside of the bottom of the bowl. The padding could be rubber or some similar material. The bowl needs to be raised approximately 1" so that the holes of the UV-10 bowl will mount on the UV-18 base.
The UV-18 measures 12-1/2" high by 11-1/2" in diameter and is made in the USA. 120V / 60C
