DECORATIVE Creating a smooth and bright, pre-plate finish on metal parts can be challenging. Traditional, manual methods such as belting are labor-intensive and produce inconsistent results with high overhead costs. Metal parts having complex geometries are difficult to hand-polish, and mass finishing with traditional vibratory equipment can be extremely time-consuming, complicating production throughput demands and introducing problematic maintenance requirements due to high levels of solid waste generation. The REM®­­­ Process solves these problems. The REM Process produces a smooth and shiny surface, ideal for plating or end-use while remaining a very cost-effective option for the industry. The REM Process achieves mass production capability with a dramatic reduction in processing times that requires minimal training and labor. The REM Process is the optimal polishing process for the pre-nickel chrome plating finishing, and it is the most common surface finishing process used on US-made Hand Tools, and industry that REM has been serving for over forty years. The REM Process is also capable of producing the required bright, smooth finish on steel and stainless steel cutlery, pocket knives, and the like.
