The Essential Role of Metal Degreasing Subcontractors in Maintaining Commercial Agility

For many manufacturers, outsourcing metal degreasing is a strategic decision that enables them to focus on core production activities. Midland Deburr & Finish Ltd, based in Lye, is at the forefront of this trend, offering comprehensive metal degreasing services that ensure manufacturers can maintain high standards while remaining commercially agile.

Metal degreasing—encompassing solvent degreasing and vapor degreasing—is critical for ensuring the cleanliness and integrity of components before they proceed to further stages of manufacturing or assembly. Midland Deburr & Finish excels in this area, providing a range of services designed to meet various industrial needs. Their facility features advanced metal degreasing machines that adhere to environmentally compliant practices, ensuring both high performance and sustainability.

Chris Arrowsmith, Managing Director of Midland Deburr & Finish, emphasises the importance of their role in the industry: “Our metal degreasing services are designed to allow manufacturers to focus on what they do best—adding value on the shop floor. By handling the degreasing process, we help our clients minimise downtime and streamline their operations. Our collection and transport service further enhances this by offering a hassle-free solution for logistics.”

The facility boasts an impressive array of capabilities, including immersion and vapor degreasing with filtration systems that filter down to 100 microns. They also employ continual vacuum distillation to effectively remove oils and impurities. This high level of precision ensures that components ranging from 1mm to 1500mm are cleaned to meet stringent surface cleanliness specifications.

Midland Deburr & Finish offers flexibility in batch sizes, from small-scale to large-scale productions, and can apply corrosion inhibition post-degreasing for added protection. They also provide professional packing services and accurate weigh counting for meticulous inventory management. Their commitment to quality is underscored by ISO 9001/2015 and ISO 14001 certifications, reflecting adherence to both quality and environmental standards.

Fast turnaround times, including next-day or same-day service, are a hallmark of their operation, ensuring minimal disruption for manufacturers. Additionally, their convenient delivery and collection service supports seamless logistics, while their breakdown service helps companies with their own degreasing machines avoid costly downtime.

“Our goal is to be a true partner in our clients’ success,” adds Arrowsmith. “We offer complimentary consultancy to optimise metal degreasing processes and maintain high standards. By taking on these tasks, we enable our clients to stay focused on their core competencies and remain agile in a competitive market.”
