Metal Finishing

Unitech Shyre designs and builds aqueous cleaning systems for the precision engineering and metal finishing industries, engineered around the specific parts and processes of each application. Typical work includes the degreasing of pressed and machined components, lifting machining oils, coolants, greases and fine particulate from the surface ahead of subsequent operations. Systems are compatible with both acidic and alkaline chemistries, offer full stainless steel construction as an option, and are built to handle varying levels of contamination to a repeatable, validated standard.

Beyond cleaning and degreasing, our systems support the wider finishing processes carried out here, including brightening to improve surface appearance and passivation to restore the corrosion resistance of stainless steel components. Each system is configured to the substrate, the contamination and the downstream process, whether that is inspection, coating, plating or assembly.

The Unitech Shyre Advantage:

  • Purpose-built aqueous systems that precision clean pressed and machined parts safely and efficiently.
  • Detergents fine-tuned to the substrate material and contamination, for fast processing and quick turnaround on production lines.
  • Process options including ultrasonics, oil separation to remove tramp oil and extend bath life, and integrated water treatment.
  • Brightening and passivation supported in-house, alongside custom tooling design and a trials facility to prove the process.
  • Designed with operator safety in mind, protecting against chemicals and fumes during operation.
  • Cost-effective, with full process control and interfacing to many management systems.
  • Unitech Shyre take ownership of the complete process, machine and chemicals, so there is no split responsibility.
