Metal Polishing
Metal Polishing is a critical operation in our production for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Artec Engineering use a range of polishing machines and techniques depending on the specification and type of job being produced.
Artec are able to guarantee an extremely high level of finish expected in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
As well as meeting the specific grades for these industries, our metal polishing techniques on our metal spinning projects for other industries are equally as important for aesthetic reasons.
About Metal Polishing
The polishing operation is also the final stage of the production process which ensures the item is not only aesthetically correct but is suitably protected to when it goes to its new environment.
We ensure that all of the polishing works meet drawing specification or as requested by the customer.
To ensure consistency for finished parts and ensure the highest standards are met, we complete all of our polishing in-house, which is carried out by one of our expert polishers.
We also have experience with working with a wide range of materials and can offer advice on what surface can be achieved.
Artec Engineering use a range of polishing machines and techniques depending on the specification and type of job being produced.
From abrasive belts and wheels, the types of machines and abrasives that are used during polishing will be dependent on the tensile strength of material used and the specified finish.
The number of stages of polishing will be dependent on the required surface finish.
Starting with 60 grit for raw material, each subsequent stage uses a finer abrasive, such as 120, 180, 220/240, 320, 400 and higher grit abrasives, until the desired finish is achieved.
We are able to guarantee an extremely high level of finish expected in the food and pharmaceutical industries and offer the following in-house finishes:
- Brushed Satin Finish
- Grain Finish
- Fine Finish
- Smooth Finish
- Mirror Finish
As well as meeting the specific grades for industries such as food and pharmaceutical in which the surface finish is critical, our metal polishing techniques on our metal spinning projects for other industries are equally as important for aesthetic reasons.
