Abrasive Blast Finishing

Abrasive blasting, or air blasting, is a method of propelling media, using compressed air, to clean and remove scale, rust, markings, previous coatings or weld splatter from component surfaces.

Shot Blasting

Shot blasting utilizes wheel blast machines, often known in the industry as tumble, table or belt blast equipment. This aggressive process can generate anchor surface, remove tight mill scale, previous coatings, foundry slag, and leave components with a uniform exterior surface finish.

Vibratory Finishing

With a variety of equipment types and sizes, and hundreds of media types, KVF Quad has what it takes to yield results in the mass finishing field. Totaling 226 cubic feet of processing equipment’s, KVF Quad operates round bowls, and rectangular tub finishing machines that can deburr, radius, descale, burnish, clean and brighten almost any type of metal component.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

The term “ultrasonic” refers to high frequency electrical sound. In parts cleaning application, ultrasonic high frequency vibrations generate sound waves in a cleaning solution in the same manner a vibrating drumhead generates sound waves in the air.

Parts Cleaning

Parts cleaning is essential to many industrial processes as a prelude to surface finishing or to protect sensitive components. KVF Quad adheres to strict guidelines, eg. choosing correct processes, type of substrate and nature of contamination and when dealing with customer specific cleanliness measurements or specifications. Also available is the option to add rust preventatives after each cleaning operation.
