Flatware Materials

Flatware including forks and spoons are commonly made from stainless steel material. It’s affordable and has a long lifespan.

For polishing stainless steel flatware, we recommend either the vibratory tumbling machine or the rotary finishing machine for the best results.

Brass is naturally shiny in appearance. Therefore, it adds great character to your cutlery sets.

In order for best polishing results, brass flatware should be polished using a rotary finishing machine or a vibratory machine. To prevent the surface from tarnishing, we also advise using the vibratory drying machine to remove excess liquid after polishing.

Like stainless steel, silver is also commonly used for making flatware. Like all other flatware materials, silver has to undergo a thorough polishing process to ensure that the best surface is achieved and maintained.

For polishing purposes, we suggest using the vibratory finishing machine. Because silver is a hard metal, they can endure more force than softer metals.

In addition, if you are doing flatware polishing on a large scale, then we recommend the continuous vibratory machine.

Gold is a highly valued material used to make flatware. For this reason, careful polishing is needed.

For gold flatware polishing, you can use the rotary finishing machine to get excellent surface results.

Flatware used in hotels is made up of various materials. In order for them to maintain their shiny appearances, they need to undergo polishing on a regular basis.

For successful polishing of hotel flatware, we recommend using the vibratory finishing machine. This is the ideal balance for this flatware.

The same as hotels, airlines use flatware on a daily basis. They have to undergo regular polishing to maintain their physical appearance.

The polishing process of these flatware pieces can be done using the continuous finishing machines, as they are able to polish large amounts of flatware in on cycle.
