Electropolishing Services

Why Electropolishing Matters in Pharmaceutical Applications

In high-purity fluid transfer systems, surface quality is directly tied to product integrity. Microscopic imperfections can trap product, bacteria, or cleaning agents, creating risk during CIP and SIP cycles and increasing the chance of cross-contamination.

Electropolishing addresses these challenges by producing a surface that is:

• Smoother and more uniform, reducing entrapment points
• Easier to clean and validate during CIP, COP, and SIP processes
• Passivated for improved corrosion resistance in aggressive environments

The result is a more reliable system that supports consistent cleaning and repeatable performance in critical applications.

Optimized for Sanitary Hose Assemblies & Fittings

Ace applies electropolishing where it has the greatest impact: the wetted surfaces inside fittings and flow paths. When combined with Ace’s engineered hose assemblies, this creates a smooth bore transition from hose to fitting that eliminates ledges and crevices where bacteria can grow.

The result is improved cleanability, reduced entrapment risk, and more consistent product flow. These performance advantages are critical in systems designed for CIP, COP, and SIP processes, where surface finish directly impacts validation and long-term reliability. Internal surface finishes of 15 Ra or better and smooth flow transitions are key to maintaining sanitary conditions

Built for Compliance and Validation

Electropolishing plays a key role in helping manufacturers meet strict regulatory and validation requirements. In pharmaceutical and biotech environments, surface finish is not optional, it is a core part of system qualification.

Ace Sanitary products are designed to support compliance with:

• ASME BPE standards for surface finish and cleanability
• FDA and USP Class VI material requirements
• 3-A sanitary standards for hygienic design

This ensures components are ready for use in validated processes across pharmaceutical, biotech, and food applications.
