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.

Electropolishing is used to improve surface finish and enhance corrosion resistance, enabling critical metal parts to perform better and last longer.
When a marine and rescue hardware manufacturer started developing parts for rescue harnesses in 2018, they knew they needed to find a metal finishing partner with uncompromising standards and no tolerance for error: lives, literally, hang on the line.
From exposure to salt and acids and near constant moisture, industrial food processing blades must stand up to a wide variety of potentially corrosive ingredients without losing their edge. Such blades must also meet strict requirements regarding quality and cleanliness…
The process of finishing critical metal parts for our clients in industries that include aerospace, medical device design, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production – and many others – is incredibly precise. Success can be measured in ten-thousandths of an inch.
