Capacity is the key to our success. Able to process single items from just a few millimetres across up to 8 metres x 2 metres x 2 metres up to 5 tonnes there are a few items that cannot be cleaned through our system, however we even have the solution for these!

In 1994 Surface Processing Limited set out to provide the automotive finishing market with a high quality and reliable resource for de-greasing, paint stripping and rust removal. The unique processes developed serve an extensive range of industries, providing recovery routes for many components, pressings, assemblies, castings, etc. that require re-work or refurbishment. Some of these items are new parts that have been rejected for a wide variety of reasons, for instance weld problems, paint defects, rust or other contamination. In order for them to be rectified and then coated to the required standards the paint and/or contamination must firstly be completely removed. Through continued development we have been able to provide our customers with a re-work route for parts or complex assemblies which were otherwise effectively scrap. Our processes are able to remove paint, rust, grease, sealants, silicon, scale, etc. from a variety of substrates including steel, aluminium, brass, zinc and recently an entirely new system has been developed for reclaiming painted plastic components.
