OVERVIEW

Precision Electrochemical Cleaning for Stainless Steel

The Walter Surfox Wand is an essential component of the Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning system, designed to restore the corrosion resistance of stainless steel after welding. This standard wand assembly serves as the interface between the operator and the workpiece, delivering the precise electrical current and electrolyte solution required to remove heat tint and weld discoloration effectively.

Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this wand is constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant materials capable of withstanding the thermal stresses and chemical environment inherent in the electrochemical cleaning process. Unlike mechanical abrasion which can alter the surface finish, or pickling pastes which are hazardous and slow, the Surfox system uses this wand to facilitate a safe, fast, and uniform cleaning action. The wand is designed to hold the tungsten insert and cleaning pads securely, ensuring consistent contact with the metal surface for optimal passivation results.

This unit is compatible with various Surfox machine models and is designed for longevity in industrial environments. Whether you are working on food-grade stainless steel equipment or architectural structures, the Surfox Wand ensures that your welds are cleaned to a standard that meets strict industry regulations for passivation and hygiene.

FAQ

The wand holds the cleaning pad and conducts the electrical current from the Surfox machine to the workpiece to clean and passivate stainless steel welds.

It is generally compatible with most standard Surfox units, but it is recommended to check your specific machine's manual for part number compatibility, especially if you have a newer model requiring a switch-integrated wand.

No, the cleaning pads and boots are sold separately. This SKU is for the wand assembly itself.

If the wand body is cracked, the connection point is loose, or if you experience inconsistent conductivity (arcing) despite having a good ground, it may be time to replace the wand.

The Surfox system is primarily designed for stainless steel passivation. While some electrochemical systems can mark aluminum, this wand is optimized for the stainless steel cleaning process.

Some newer Surfox wands have an integrated on/off switch for flow control or power. This is the standard wand which typically relies on the machine's main controls or contact activation.

Yes, the wand is manufactured from high-temperature resistant composite materials to withstand the heat generated during the electrochemical cleaning process.

This indicates that the manufacturer may have superseded this part number with a newer version (48R568), often offering improved ergonomics or features, but this unit remains a functional replacement for the standard setup.
