Drum Scale Column Stainless Steel Finish Upgrade
This stainless finish upgrade applies only to the Drum Scale column accessory and must be purchased in addition to the base column or complete Drum Scale system. Available in passivation or passivation with electropolishing to enhance corrosion protection, surface hygiene and durability in washdown or regulated environments.
- Corrosion Protection – Both treatments shield the column against moisture and chemical exposure
- Sanitary Surface Finish – Electropolishing reduces texture to prevent residue or microbial accumulation
- Regulatory Compliance – Meets ASTM A967 and B912 specifications to support FDA, USDA or GMP adherence
- Low Maintenance – Smooth finish reduces cleaning frequency and effort
- Accessory Compatibility – Designed to match configurations with or without ramp, portability kit or other add-ons
Details
The Drum Scale column accessory can be upgraded with professional-grade surface treatments tailored for environments that demand resistance to moisture, chemical exposure and frequent cleanings.
-
Passivation removes surface iron and residual contaminants to restore the stainless steel’s chromium oxide layer and strengthen corrosion resistance.
-
Passivation with Electropolishing enhances the standard treatment by electrochemically polishing the surface to a mirror-like finish. This smooth surface reduces microbial adhesion and supports efficient sanitization.
These upgrade options are ideal for facilities in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical and laboratory sectors where the column is exposed to caustics or repeated washdown cycles.
