Electrochemical Weld Cleaning System



Walter Surfox electrochemical cleaning and passivation system

Walter Surface Technologies has launched its new Surfox 205 and Surfox Mini TIG and spot weld cleaning system.

This new generation of Surfox 205 uses an electrochemical process to clean and passivate TIG and spot welds on stainless steel, aluminum and titanium. "The redesigned machine is powerful, rugged and replaces manual operations such as mechanical abrasion," said a company spokesperson.

Like the Surfox 205, the redesigned Mini Surfox has been engineered to allow operators to clean TIG or spot welds on aluminum and stainless steel to a perfect finish-even on the most delicate surfaces," continued the spokesperson. This unit is compact, portable and lightweight, making it ideal for field work, including equipment repair, installation or touch-up.

"Electrochemical cleaning is by far the safest and most efficient method of removing heat tint and other contaminants from stainless steel surfaces," said Jonathan Douville, Senior Product Manager for Surfox. "What is unique about the new generation of Surfox machines is that we are now able and have the patent to use both the 205 and the Mini to mark stainless, aluminum in black and titanium in blue."

The electrochemical systems offer a healthier industrial environment because hazardous solutions are not used. The more efficient work process produces a high standard of cleaning and finish on stainless steel, aluminum and titanium.

Surfox systems are suitable for any industry where stainless and aluminum are found, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, architectural and transportation.
