Mechanical Polishing

In industries like the pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of your process vessels is critical.  Over time, vessels can accumulate surface damage, contaminants, and corrosion that compromise their performance and safety.  At HOLLOWAY, we specialize in Remediation and Electropolishing to restore your vessels to their original quality; or BETTER. With the ability to refinish vessels up to 20,000 liters, our proven methods ensure that your equipment continues to meet the highest standards of quality and cleanliness.

Remediation, also known as Polishing involves the complete refinishing of a vessel’s internal and external surfaces.  This process removes surface defects, scratches, and contamination, restoring the vessel to a smooth, uniform finish. For more demanding applications, Electropolishing can be applied as an additional step, which further enhances the surface by removing a thin layer of material to create an ultra-smooth, corrosion-resistant, and highly cleanable finish.

At HOLLOWAY, we pride ourselves on using superior techniques and proven methods for vessel remediation and electropolishing.  Over the past decade, our skilled technicians have refinished hundreds of vessels across the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and beverage industries.  Our process ensures:

• Surface Restoration:  Our polishing techniques eliminate scratches, contamination, and surface irregularities that may compromise product quality or create bacterial traps in pharmaceutical and food-grade applications.
• Electropolishing for Superior Cleanliness:  Electropolishing further enhances the surface finish by smoothing out microscopic peaks and valleys, improving the cleanability and corrosion resistance of the vessel, making it ideal for industries with strict hygiene standards like pharmaceuticals and food processing.

Over time, process vessels face wear and tear that can impact their performance. Some of the most common issues we address include:

• Scratches and Surface Defects:  These can occur during routine operations, causing areas where contaminants can accumulate and degrade product quality.
• Corrosion and Pitting:  Exposure to harsh chemicals or cleaning agents can lead to corrosion and pitting, particularly in vessels used for chemical processes.
• Rough Surface Finishes:  Vessels with an uneven or rough finish are more difficult to clean and can harbor bacteria, making them unsuitable for high-purity applications.
