Pickling, electropolishing or mill finish
Mill finish means the belt as manufactured, without additional treatment.
Which finishes are available for which belt
Surface treatment is project-specific. We confirm it with the drawing.
| Belt type | Surface options |
|---|---|
| Spiral Freezer Belt | Pickling / Electropolishing |
| Spiral Freezer Belt (Small Turning Radius) | Pickling / Electropolishing |
| Self-Stacking Belt | Pickling / Electropolishing |
| Side Driven Belt | Electropolishing |
| Flat Wire / Honeycomb Belt | Mill / Pickling / Electropolishing |
| Eye Link Belt | Pickling |
Honest scope: pickling and electropolishing are done by specialist partners to our specification, and the finished belt is inspected by us before packing. We do not currently offer coatings such as PTFE on our website.
Questions about surface treatment
What is the difference between pickling and electropolishing?
Pickling chemically removes scale and heat tint to leave a clean stainless surface. Electropolishing goes further, smoothing the surface electrochemically for a brighter, easier-to-clean finish.
Do I need electropolishing for a food processing belt?
Not always. It depends on your hygiene requirements and cleaning routine. Tell us your application and we suggest a finish.
Can you coat conveyor belts with PTFE?
We do not currently offer coatings on our website. Contact us with your requirement and we tell you honestly what we can do.
Is surface treatment available for every belt?
No. It depends on belt type and project. The table above shows the confirmed options; others are reviewed case by case.
