They enjoy working with it. They take real pride in their work, because you can clearly see what you have and haven't done. The product looks superb. They fully stand behind it.

Industry: Equipment manufacturing
A finish that shows the quality of your machines
The challenge
Your customer also judges the machine by its surface
For machine and equipment manufacturers, the finish of stainless steel is about more than appearance. End customers in food, pharma and high-tech set requirements for roughness, cleanability and corrosion resistance, and increasingly ask for documented surface data.
Pickling and glass bead blasting force compromises: chemical waste and permits, or a rougher surface and distortion of thin sheets. And if you outsource finishing, you depend on someone else’s schedule.

How to apply ViwateQ
Three routes for equipment manufacturers
Outsource to ViwateQ
Have frames and parts finished in Geldermalsen or by one of our partners, such as ViwateQ Izegem. We treat them according to fixed protocols and return them inspected.
Through the partner network
Have parts treated by an approved ViwateQ partner near you and integrate them into your machine afterwards, as Dinnissen does.
Your own cabin
Bring the technology into your own production with a licence and set your own schedule, as DGS Processing Solutions does.

Frequently asked questions
Questions from equipment manufacturers
Yes. Parts can be treated by ViwateQ or an approved partner and then built into your machine. If you want full control over finishing, your own ViwateQ cabin is the next step.
In Geldermalsen we treat parts up to 12 x 4 x 4 metres. In-house cabins are built to size, from 4 x 5 metres up to 16 x 18 metres.
We treat almost all non-corrosive metals, such as stainless steel (including 304 and 316L) and aluminium.
The standard lead time is about 1 to 2 weeks. For larger projects, let us know in advance so we can plan capacity.
Outsource or bring it in-house?
Have your parts finished by ViwateQ service, or bring the technology into your own production with a dedicated cabin. We help you choose the route that fits your volumes.
