Preparing a metal surface – or any surface – for a high quality finish requires a thorough cleaning process as the first step.

Cleaning services at Trans-Acc include removal of paint, powder coating, rust, scale, grease or other surface conditions affecting the surface our customers want cleaned. Trans-Acc surface cleaning capabilities encompass both chemical, high-pressure washing along with aluminum oxide and steel shot blasting techniques.

Because providing a finished product of the highest quality is always our goal, Trans-Acc performs thorough quality inspection of every single part after the cleaning services has been completed. We provide metal surface cleaning services to customers requesting one of our coating services, or as a stand-alone service.
