In one test of metal finishing processes conducted by the poultry and meat processing industry, electropolishing was found to be more effective than mechanical polishing, grinding, or sand blasting for increasing resistance to bacterial attachment.
When bacteria accumulates on metal parts, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove through normal chemical washing. A smooth, electropolished surface finish improves the ability to keep the processing equipment free of contaminates such as Salmonella.
Electropolishing brightens and cleans parts like welded wire racks that are used in various applications from meat processing to commercial ovens. The process removes the discoloration in heat affected zones (HAZ) and greatly improves corrosion resistance by fixing precipitation left behind by welding.
