Best Technology introduces automated pickling and cleaning systems for controlled surface preparation

Best Technology announces its automated pickling and cleaning systems designed to improve control in metal surface preparation. These systems combine automated material handling with programmable process sequencing to deliver more consistent cleaning, descaling, rinsing, and tank-to-tank transitions in high-volume production environments.

Pickling plays an important role in surface preparation by removing oxides, heat tint, and scale before downstream processes such as coating, passivation, or anodizing. When these steps are handled manually, variation in immersion time, transfer speed, and staging between tanks can affect surface condition and finishing results.

Best Technology’s automated pickling systems help reduce that variation through repeatable basket movement and controlled process timing. Systems can include multiple stages such as cleaning, rinsing, pickling, neutralization, and drying, all managed through programmable logic control (PLC) for better consistency and process control.

In addition to improving repeatability, automated pickling and cleaning systems support higher throughput while reducing operator exposure to aggressive chemistries. Each system is designed around the customer’s production requirements, facility layout, and process needs for applications in aerospace, medical device, electronics, and precision metalworking.
