Key Benefits:
How it works?
DLyte Desktop PRO works by combining the electrical flow created by the high
precision rectifier with the movement of the pieces through the electropolishing
media. This results in an ion exchange, removing material only from the peaks of
roughness. The process does not round edges and can access internal corners
that are not easily accessed mechanically.

DLyte® eBlast Series ActOn Finishing Ltd | [email protected] | www.acton-finishing.co.uk
The DLyte® eBlast uses the electro blasting technology. The process involves Large and heavy components can be processed, without the need of
pressurised solid-electrolyte particles propelled by a non-conductive liquid motion.
media which is applied to component surfaces for various cleaning or finishing
effects. No marks and pitting on the surface of the parts, as the liquid forms a
protective layer on the surface.
Even components with holes, slots and inner channels can be surface
finished.
How it works?
Electro blasting uses a jet of fluid, made out of a non-conductive liquid and
free solid polymer particles, to remove roughness from the metal surfaces. As
particles contact the surface selectively on roughness peaks, only those peaks
get electrochemically eroded, producing an overall polishing effect.
The equipment can also surface finish automatically in two different ways:
Via the collaborative robot it processes the required areas. This feature is
useful for complex, large and heavy pieces.
For multiple small components, the drum can be used to mass finish these
without any fixturing.
