The Optimized Grind Finishing® process (OGF)
In the pharmaceutical, chemical and food processing industries, minimizing build-up in containers is a critical factor for efficiency and quality. The build-up of substances on the inside walls of containers can lead to increased cleaning effort, product losses and contamination. This costs money and ties up resources. Especially in industries where EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) certification and hygienic design are becoming increasingly important, minimizing adhesion has become a critical factor.
Research carried out by BOLZ INTEC in cooperation with the University of Constance has shown that the way in which stainless steel surfaces are removed plays a key role in minimizing adhesion. Different grinding methods result in different adhesion behavior, despite the same Ra values, and the OGF process from BOLZ INTEC leads to a lower adhesion of particles.
Below is a scanning electron microscope image of the stainless steel surface after electropolishing and Optimized Grind Finishing, as well as images of the surface texture roughness data and repeatability.
Easy cleaning & minimal adhesion
The Optimized Grind Finishing (OGF) process leads to a low adhesion of particles on the surfaces of the containers. This significantly improves cleaning efficiency and reduces the risk of contamination of product batches.
Reproducible surface quality
The OGF process enables reproducible surface quality. In contrast to conventional processes, in which variable factors such as manual contact pressure or the quality of abrasives play a role, the OGF process offers consistent surface quality.
Visual aesthetics and low number of errors
The stainless steel surfaces treated with the OGF process have an attractive appearance and defects in the surface structure are significantly reduced thanks to the fine and gentle removal process. This is particularly important in industries that place high demands on safety.
Improved corrosion protection
The electropolishing process not only improves the optical quality, but also results in chemical changes that lead to improved corrosion protection. This is particularly relevant for applications in chemical and pharmaceutical processes.
Reduced risk of batch contamination
The improvement in cleaning behavior through the OGF process leads to a significant reduction in residual dirt adhesion in the containers. This significantly reduces the risk of contamination between different product batches.
Applicability in critical industries
The process is seen as particularly advantageous for critical industries such as nanotechnology or biotechnology and pharmaceutical technology, where the highest purity requirements and the avoidance of contamination are of crucial importance.

Why customers around the world choose our stainless steel containers
High efficiency, low costs & great economy thanks to superior stainless steel surfaces
Time savings in production
The use of stainless steel containers with optimized surfaces leads to significant time savings in the production process. By minimizing the build-up of materials, cleaning and maintenance times can be drastically reduced. This enables the containers to be reused more quickly and increases the overall efficiency of the production lines. In a production-intensive environment where time equals money, this time saving represents a significant economic advantage.
Reduced risk of production downtime
The reproducible quality of the stainless steel surfaces and the reduced number of defects minimize the risk of production downtime due to surface problems. This can lead to higher overall productivity and less downtime.
Reduction of production losses
Optimizing the container surfaces also minimizes the amount of product loss. Reduced adhesion means that more of the material produced is available for its intended use and does not end up as waste. This is a particularly important factor in industries where high-quality or very expensive materials are processed.
Improvement of product quality & product safety
Contamination-free production results in a higher quality end product. This is crucial in industries with strict quality and purity requirements, such as pharmaceuticals and food production, where purity and safety are top priorities. The use of optimized stainless steel containers can therefore also lead to an improvement in brand image and customer satisfaction.
Cost savings through more efficient cleaning
In addition to saving time, optimized surfaces also lead to a reduction in the costs of cleaning processes. Less build-up means less need for cleaning agents, water and energy. There is also less wear and tear on the containers themselves, which increases their service life and reduces the need for new purchases. In the long term, these savings in operating costs can make a significant difference to a company's profitability.
Longer container service life
The improved corrosion protection provided by the electropolishing process helps to extend the service life of stainless steel containers. Customers can thus reduce their costs for replacement investments and maintenance.
