Scale Removal

Scale removal is a critical step in metal finishing, ensuring a clean, active surface for proper deposit adhesion and a flawless finish. Heat treatment, forging, and other processes often leave oxide scale that must be eliminated before coating. PSI provides advanced solutions for chemical, mechanical, and combined methods to deliver consistent, high-quality results while reducing rework and improving efficiency.
