Overview of DLyte PRO500
The DLyte PRO500 dry electrochemical polishing unit is used for grinding and polishing metal products. The device works according to a patented innovative technology based on the process of transfer of ions from the surface of the product by free solids, i.e., particles of polishing dry electrolyte. In the process, no liquids are used and the models acquire a mirror shine and remain dry.
The device is used for polishing products obtained through printing on 3D printers, casting, milling.

- Large processing chamber that allows you to polish products with dimensions up to 700 x 250 mm
- The polished part completely retains its geometry because the impact is minimal
- The dry electrolyte, which serves as a polishing agent, penetrates into all recesses and undercuts. Therefore, parts of any complex shape can be processed
- There are no micro seizures
- The polished surface is well resistant to corrosion and mechanical stress
- Machine control does not require special qualifications and long-term training
Applications of DLyte PRO500
- Aviation
- Dentistry (manufacturing of metal pins, crowns, bridges, inlays)
