Drop in the parts. Take out the shine.
Mass finishing, made effortless.
The DLyte MF1000 brings the precision of DLyte electropolishing to high-volume mass finishing. Designed for large batches of small parts, it combines controlled surface treatment with the throughput needed for industrial production.
Powered by the FixtureFree system, it processes parts without individual holders or clamps. This simplifies loading, shortens setup time and allows components with complex geometries to move freely throughout the finishing cycle.
Parts are loaded onto a conductive vibrating mesh inside the workbowl and immersed in Dry Suspension electrolytes. Controlled vibration keeps them moving continuously, exposing their surfaces to the treatment without securing each component individually.
The process delivers homogeneous, bright and repeatable finishes across large batches while preserving part geometry. Continuous movement through the media also simplifies handling and helps maintain consistent results from one production cycle to the next.

Hardware features
The MF1000 uses FixtureFree Technology to process parts without individual holders, clamps or complex setups. Components move freely inside a conductive vibratory workbowl, simplifying batch preparation and reducing loading time. A dynamic cathode works with a vibrating conductive mesh to control electropolishing as parts circulate through the media. This architecture supports uniform finishing across large batches and accommodates parts with different shapes and complex surfaces.
Three independent motors generate controlled, asymmetrical vibration inside the workbowl. This creates continuous, varied movement that exposes different areas of each part to the treatment. The motion helps the process reach corners, recesses and complex geometries while maintaining dimensional integrity. With a 32-litre capacity, the vibratory cathodic workbowl is designed for larger batches and high-throughput production.
The MF1000 dynamically adjusts the cathode distance to regulate polishing intensity throughout the process. This control promotes selective material removal from surface peaks while helping manage localized oxidation. As parts move through the workbowl, the cathode system maintains consistent treatment conditions across the batch, including for components with intricate shapes or hard-to-reach areas.
A dedicated cooling system regulates process temperature to keep the cathode operating efficiently during production. Stable thermal conditions help maintain electrolyte performance and limit variations in the finishing action over longer cycles. This supports repeatable results and uniform surface quality across successive batches during sustained, high-throughput processing.
Operative features
High-frequency vibration creates continuous relative motion between the parts and Dry Suspension electrolytes. Because the parts move freely throughout the workbowl, the process delivers a homogeneous finish and controlled metal removal across complex surfaces while preserving the original geometry of each component.
Parts are immersed in DryLyte active media, where spheres interact primarily with surface roughness peaks to selectively remove material. This controlled action produces a brighter, more uniform appearance, reduces surface defects and helps improve corrosion resistance without compromising part geometry.
The DLyte MF1000 combines high productivity with a footprint of 1,970 mm in width and 1,380 mm in depth. Its space-efficient design makes it easier to integrate automated mass finishing into production facilities where floor space and throughput both matter.
Once processing is complete, the vibratory cathodic workbowl tilts 180° to transfer the treated parts directly to the extraction tray. This automatic discharge step simplifies unloading, reduces manual handling and helps maintain a smooth transition between finishing cycles.
The MF1000 includes a dedicated drawer for post-process cleaning with compressed air or oil. A removable tray makes finished parts easy to collect while allowing remaining electrolyte to drain for recovery, supporting a cleaner and more efficient workflow.
An integrated separation system separates finished parts from the media at the end of the cycle. Excess electrolyte is then drained, recovered and reintroduced into the system, making more efficient use of the media and helping reduce ongoing operating costs.
