metal finishing systems
Metal finishing systems are used to improve the corrosion resistance of metal, increase its durability, and enhanced metal electrical conductivity. Burt Process Equipment has been supplying engineered metal finishing systems for over forty-five years. Our modern manufacturing facilities use state-of-the-art equipment in thermo-forming and fusion-welded plastic materials. Utilizing the latest in computer-aided design software and tooling, our engineering and production teams develop systems to meet your most demanding requirements.
Burt Process Equipment will supply individual system components or a complete turnkey system with a highly skilled project management team. Superior engineering coupled with high-quality system components has made Burt Process a leader in the metal finishing industry.

The metal finishing industry categorizes plating operations as electroless plating and electroplating. Electroplating is accomplished by passing an electric current through a solution that contains dissolved metal ions and the metal object that is to be plated. Electroless plating is the chemical disposition of a metal coating onto an object using chemical reactions instead of electricity. Burt Process engineers design systems and components using anticorrosive and chemical-resistant materials and equipment resulting in efficiency, reliability, and safety.
Case Study:
Burt Process incorporates SIMONA Polypropylene and Kynar PVDF Sheet to develop an easy-to-maintain and clean, reliable Plastic Passivation Line. The customer’s current system was outdated, unsafe, rusting, and difficult to work on. They needed a system that functioned in the same way but addressed all the current problems.

Passivation Line System Specs:
- Hayward vertical centrifugal pumps for recirculation
- Air operated ARO diaphragm pumps with containment boxes for chemical feed and removal
- Four plastic polypropylene/ PVDF tanks with liners for chemical resistance during the passivation process
- Georg Fischer CPVC plumbing for tank and chemical feed interconnecting
- Hayward Solenoid valves for DI water feed
- Polypropylene hoods (one per tank) to vent fumes and vapors
- Control panel for solenoid and recirculation pump orientation
