Congratulations on purchasing the finest electrochemical
weld cleaning and passivation equipment available today.
WALTER’s SURFOX
TM
weld cleaning equipment quickly,
easily and cost effectively removes the heat tint from heat
affected zones while completely passivating the stainless
steel surface.
Our new generation of SURFOX machines are equipped
with self-regulating inverter boards, automatically monitoring
and adjusting the current so as to ensure maximum
cleaning effectiveness without loss of productivity.
Before starting, please read the SURFOX owner’s manual
completely as we take you step-by-step through the start-
up, operating and maintenance procedures of your new
SURFOX equipment. Your new SURFOX machine has been
built with extra durability to stand up to the heavy demands
of industrial use. However, like any piece of electrical
equipment, care and safety should always be taken when
using and maintaining this valuable investment. With proper
care and maintenance your SURFOX equipment will provide

Operation
The SURFOX machine works by an electrochemical
process to clean and passivate welds on stainless steel.
SURFOX electrolyte solutions are phosphoric acid based,
approved for food industry, and are activated by an electri-
cal current to clean welds. The process takes only a few
seconds without damaging or scratching the surface of the
parts to be cleaned.
Your SURFOX 304 machine can clean:
u
TIG welds
u
Plasma welds
u
Laser welds
u
Spot welds
u
MIG welds
Basics of passivation:
u
The cleaning of the welds is not only for aesthetic
purposes but most importantly for passivation.
u
Passivation is the treatment of stainless steel surfaces
to remove contaminants and promote the formation of
a thick and durable protective chromium oxyde layer.
u
This passive layer will insure the corrosion resistance of
stainless steel.
u
If passivation is not done properly, stainless steel and
heat affected zones may start to rust.
