54D055 - Walter SURFOX Mini Portable Electrochemical Weld Cleaning System with Starter Kit

Portable and Efficient Weld Cleaning for Professionals

The Walter SURFOX Mini (54-D-055) is a revolutionary step forward in portable weld cleaning technology. Designed for industrial maintenance, repair, and on-site fabrication, this ergonomically engineered unit provides a highly effective method for removing heat tint from the heat-affected zones of welded metals. Unlike mechanical grinding which can alter the surface finish, or hazardous pickling pastes that pose safety risks, the SURFOX Mini utilizes a safe, electrochemical process to clean and passivate stainless steel and aluminum welds instantly.

One of the standout features of the SURFOX Mini is its portability. By utilizing refillable electrolyte cartridges instead of a cumbersome integrated tank, Walter has significantly reduced the weight of the unit to just over 8 pounds. This makes it the ideal choice for operators who need to move frequently around a job site or climb scaffolds to reach repair areas. Despite its small size, it does not compromise on power or versatility. The unit comes equipped with variable power settings, allowing the user to dial in the exact output required for the task at hand—ensuring a perfect finish even on delicate surfaces.

Versatile Material Compatibility

The SURFOX Mini is not limited to just one type of metal. It is engineered to handle:

• Stainless Steel: Effectively cleans TIG and spot welds, restoring the chromium oxide passive layer to prevent corrosion.
• Aluminum: Capable of cleaning MIG, TIG, and spot welds, removing oxidation and soot.
• Titanium: Can be used for marking and etching applications.

Safety is a paramount concern in modern workshops. The SURFOX system uses electrolyte solutions that are free from nitric and hydrofluoric acids, creating a much safer work environment compared to traditional chemical pickling. This starter kit includes everything needed to begin working immediately, including a micro-wand, various cleaning pads and inserts, a ground cable, and a durable carrying case. Whether you are performing railroad maintenance, food and beverage equipment repairs, or architectural metal touch-ups, the SURFOX Mini delivers consistent, high-quality results.
