A SMARTER SAFER APPROACH TO STAINLESS STEEL WELD CLEANING

In stainless steel fabrication, achieving clean, corrosion-resistant welds is essential, especially in industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, this meant using harsh pickling pastes or time-intensive mechanical methods. The Pro Inox Electrolytic Weld Cleaner (EWC) offers an alternative that’s both safer and more efficient. Instead of relying on corrosive chemicals, the EWC uses electrochemical cleaning. A low-voltage current runs through a carbon brush dipped in a special fluid, removing weld discoloration and oxidation in seconds. The process is fast, precise, and leaves the metal with a bright, natural finish.

What makes this system stand out is its dual-user design and adjustable power settings. This allows two operators to work simultaneously, improving throughput in busy workshops or production lines. Its consistent performance also means less rework and more predictable results-key benefits when working with demanding clients or tight deadlines.

One of the most significant advantages of the EWC is safety. By eliminating pickling paste, the process removes exposure to toxic fumes and skin contact with hazardous substances. It also reduces the need for waste disposal associated with traditional chemical methods, making it a cleaner choice both environmentally and operationally.

For businesses focused on productivity, worker safety, and long-term durability of stainless steel components, electrochemical weld cleaning represents a meaningful upgrade. The Pro Inox EWC is part of a shift toward smarter tools that streamline fabrication while aligning with modern
health and environmental standards.
