SSHE Cylinder Refurbishing

Bimetalix has a refurbishing program to take your worn-out chrome plated cylinders and remanufacture them to like-new condition.

Steps to Refurbish Chrome Cylinders

  1. Inspect outside diameter and flange of the food cylinder and recommend repairs if required.
  2. Inspect inside diameter and determine if repair can be made. Note: Each time the cylinder is refurbished the wall thickness gets a little thinner. This inspection estimates how thin the wall will become and advises the customer of our recommendations.
  3. Inspect jackets, inlets, outlets and repair or replace as necessary.
  4. Inspect machining detail on both ends (flanges, threads, locking lugs, clips, etc.) to insure proper fit and sealing with the SSHE unit.
  5. Strip out the old chrome plating.
  6. Hone the inside diameter until clean and buff to very fine micro finish.
  7. Reinspect ID for any grooves or galling from wiper blades before chrome plating.
  8. Chrome plate in multi-layers to .003" to .006" thick.
  9. Buff inside diameter to high gloss finish.
  10. Complete final inspection of entire cylinder to OEM specifications.
