If we can take the management headache out of any process, we are more than happy to do so.
Refurbishment & Stripping
Top
We have extensive onsite stripping facilities that cater for all material substrates. We can strip to base all electroplated finishes including PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition). Our expertise in metal finishing has allowed us to take pre-plated material and refurbish to as ‘New’ condition. Our particular strengths within this field are fully utilised by the Brewery Equipment remanufacturing industry, Together we provide solutions by bringing previously sub-standard damaged units ack into mainstream use.
Rack Electro Plating
Top
We are able to offer the following finishes in a rack plated process to maximum dimensions of 58” length x 36” deep x 12” wide. All our plating is processed by a team of trained individuals and the whole process is overlooked by our own in-house chemist. A basic overview is outlined below.
|
|
– | A bright reflective ‘bluish-white’ coating. High protective Qualities .Non RoHs Compliant. |
|

Electrophoretic Coating
Top
We provide clear electrophoretic lacquer coatings with post dye treatments if required over base material and pre-plated components. This particular type of coating is most commonly applied as a top coat providing a tough surface layer protection which conforms closely to the contours of the work piece. Most commonly used within the architectural hardware industry post dye treatments can give very close resemblance to brass and gold finish’s at a fraction of the cost.
Pre-Treatment

It is general practise for high quality products to be highly polished prior to plating.
