REM Surface Technology has been offering innovation, quality, and technical expertise of the highest order, since its inception in 1965. We have become the pioneers and undisputed leaders in the field of metal surface finishing, earning the credibility and trust amongst a diverse range of clients from many different industries. Our Isotropic Superfinish (ISF) Process has revolutionised the performance capabilities of metal to metal contact parts. Our exceptional surfaces - which are unrivalled by any other technology-mean that a long list of clients keep coming back to us.
Unlike our competitors who use abrasive machining to lap, grind and hone individual parts, we use an Isotropic Superfinish Process (ISF). This employs a non-abrasive automated mass finishing which gives more efficient, uniform parts that always outperform the competition. This process has a range of purposes, including reducing friction, increasing durability and fatigue resistance, improving lubrication characteristics and lowering lubricant temperature, as well as increasing power density.
The success of our finishes are built on the hard-work and experience of over 45 years in the metal industry. Thanks to this hugely successful process, we are proud to say that we have supplied and serviced a long list of industry giants, including companies from the aerospace and automotive industries. Other industries served include medical, military, gearing & bearings, motorsports, power generation and decorative. Our expert employees focus on providing only the best results in surface finishing.
REM Surface Technology is the daughter company of REM Chemicals which based in the United States. We have recently expanded our European operations by moving to a new facility in Cambridgeshire, enabling us to better serve the ever growing number of European customers. An improved manufacturing efficiency in a dedicated facility shows that we are committed to delivering excellence in all aspects of our operations to these new customers.
Here at REM Surface Technology we have five values that ensure our customers receive the best service in the industry. Firstly, our hardworking ethic means that we do whatever it takes to get the job done on time, every time. Secondly, our operations are highly efficient: we expend on only the necessary resources to achieve goals and objectives, meaning our customers receive a cost benefit. Next, customer service-thanks to our cutting edge technology and the support of our expert employees, we provide the highest quality products and services to our customers. Quality: we work to the highest standards and meet or exceed all your expectations. Finally, REM is committed to innovation and growth-we are always on the lookout for ways to improve and expand our services, and we intend to grow REM with respect and integrity.

Over thirty years ago REM Surface Engineering began researching and developing a brand new, innovative concept of chemically accelerated mass finishing. This excellent technology, now known as the REM process, has been the cornerstone of our success. The REM process uses a patented product line of accelerated finishing compounds for finishing hard or soft carbon steels, stainless steels, titanium and nickel alloys.

We have a global partnership with Rösler, enabling us to offer a comprehensive range of heavy duty, easy to operate vibratory installations. Continuous flow processing systems have become increasingly important in the field of accelerated mass finishing. Our equipment comes with grease lubrication system, media unload door, bottom drains and high performance drive motors. What's more, it is lined with unique polyurethane or rubber liners and continually feeds liquid along the length of the processing chamber. A standard or fully customized control panel allows you to automate your operation.

When a smooth or shiny surface is required, nothing does it better than the REM process. This means a whole range of manufacturers and fabricators from decorative markets come to us first. We use the same vibratory equipment and ceramic media that is used in our unique ISF process. Hand tools, cutlery, cosmetics, decorative hardware, plumbing hardware, firearms and lighting fixtures are just some of the markets that could really benefit from using our process.

Ferromil processing uses chemically accelerated mass finishing technology. This process is effective in removing the roughness, flash and gating caused by forging and casting, and can also produce very bright surfaces. Parts are typically finished in one to four hours (depending on the condition of the material) and can result in the 2 to 6 Ra range.

All of the services we provide are complemented by our ISF Materials Treatment Services. This unique technology applies chemically accelerated vibratory finishing to Isotropically Superfinished metals or alloys in order to achieve the maximum level of refinement, while always maintaining the integrity of critical surfaces.

When two metal parts make contact, friction causes the build up of heat. Over time, high temperatures can lead to wear which reduces efficiency. Eventually, you'll need to pay out for a replacement. Our unique ISF process creates a smooth and shiny finish that increases the efficiency and life expectancy of moving metal parts. This means lower operating costs and the improved performance of your application. REM's ISF process, a physicochemical process using high density, non-abrasive ceramic media, employs conventional vibratory finishing equipment to remove the surface asperities inherent after the machining process. Microscopic specks are safely removed, leaving a smooth surface which reduces friction and heat. The net result is an improved component with increased durability, decreased noise output, and which requires less maintenance. The results of the ISF process are undeniable and can be used in a whole host of industries!

Our Magalloy processes are for magnetic and non-magnetic stainless steels and employ chemically accelerated mass finishing technology. Parts can be typically finished within one for four hours and can result in the 2 to 8 Ra range.

The chemicals that we use are water-based, non-toxic and non-hazardous. They are used at ambient temperate, are moderate in pH range and give no metallurgical determent. All these qualities are the reasons why REM's products and processes are patented.

This process is extremely effective in removing the white layer on castings. Parts are usually finished in four to ten hours, depending on the condition of the material. Typical finishes can result in the 4 to 10 Ra Range.

Thanks to our global partnership with Rösler, we can offer standard vibratory bowls with a working capacity ranging from 1.8 cuft to 30 cuft. If requested, we can even work on larger pieces. We have a range if bowl types with or without internal separation, including curved walled, straight walled, flat bottomed and spiral bottomed types. REM's vibratory bowls come complete with grease lubrication systems, media unload door, bottom drains, and 3-phase 230-460 volt, 60hz, 1200/1800 rpm direct drive motors. Bowls are lined with 12mm to 20mm Hot Cast Adiprene Plus Polyurethane liners and circular spray bars.
