Hygienic surface finish for stainless steel
ViwateQ’s mechanical wet polishing delivers exceptional smoothness and optimal surface topography. Ensuring flawless cleanability without the use of toxic chemicals.
Achieve low Ra ≤ 0,8 µm
Low roughness meets EHEDG, 3-A, TNO & ISO standards.
Consistent smooth finish
Reduce adhesion on the surface.
Cleanability
The unique topography (SRI) ensures optimal cleanability.
Completely chemical-free
No chemicals are used during the treatment.
The ViwateQ® Finishing
ViwateQ’s wet polishing technology offers a revolutionary approach to surface finishing. It significantly enhances the quality and lifetime of stainless steel equipment, enhancing cleanability and reducing downtown.
Chemical-free processing meets technical precision
Traditional pickling risks people and environment. ViwateQ Finishing offers ecological safety with strong technical guarantees. It removes impurities mechanically and lets the oxide layer regenerate naturally. Safer for operators, better for the environment, and simpler for permits.
Extreme corrosion resistance
Our mechanical process removes impurities and promotes natural passivation of stainless steel. This creates a durable oxide layer that protects equipment from corrosion without harsh chemicals.
Consistent roughness
ViwateQ technology ensures a 100% uniform Ra-value across your product’s surface, guaranteeing every component meets your exact technical specifications predictably.
Prevents contamination
Removing microscopic crevices eliminates bacteria hiding spots and product residues, preventing bio-film and reducing Cleaning in Place (CIP) times.
Maximum smoothness
Our wet polishing technique rounds off sharp microscopic peaks, creating a highly cleanable surface. This smooth finish meets the strict hygienic standards of the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Chemical-free processing meets technical precision
Traditional methods like pickling or glass bead blasting force trade-offs in safety, cost, and finish. ViwateQ changes this by offering an eco-friendly process with tough, measurable surface data your industry needs.
- Ra that meets EHEDG requirements
- Corrosion resistance according to ISO 9227- test
- 100% Chemical free
