Electrolytic polishing OTEC EF-FLEX
High-Precision Electrolytic Polishing
Electrolysis allows for a perfect shine, even on the most complex surfaces that are impossible to reach through manual polishing.
Working Principle:
A workpiece rotates in an electrolytic (conductive) liquid. An electrical voltage between the cathode (-) and anode (+), combined with the movement of polymer beads in the electrolyte, removes the conductive particles from the surface. The roughness is gradually reduced, resulting in a perfectly smooth and glossy finish. Traditional polishing works on the same principle: mechanically removing the surface peaks.
Application areas of the EF-FLEX
Bracelets, bangles, pendants, rings and necklaces in yellow and red gold, white gold-nickel alloys, silver, brass and stainless steel
Advantages:
- excellent polish on gemstone settings without rounding
- exceptionally shiny diamonds,thanks to the polished setting
- processing in hard-reach areas and inner contours
- intricate geometries are maintained and are smoothed and polished gently
- machine processing replaces up to 90% of all time-consuming pre-polishing and filing
- cyanide-free abrasives with no aggressive acids - no suction needed
- reproducible an fast results in a process time of just 10-30 minutes
- easy recovery of abraded gold through filtration of the electrolyte and separation at the cathodes
- yellow, red and white gold possible with the same electrolyte
- REMARK : white gold with palladium not possible
