Process

PRESS:

• ALL PRODUCTS ARE MADE FROM RAW BRASS.
• THE BRASS IS STRUCK IN DIES TO BRING UP THE DESIGNS.
• FROM THERE THEY ARE TRIMMED OF THE EXCESS SALVAGE AND THEN PIERCED AS NECESSARY.

SOLDERING/FUSION:

• FROM THE PRESS ROOM THE PARTS ARE EITHER ELECTRONICALLY FUSED OR SOLDERED TO ATTACH PINS, SCREWS OR OTHER ATTACHING DEVICES THAT ARE CALLED FOR.

EPOXY/ENAMELING:

• ENAMEL AND EPOXY ARE APPLIED TO GIVE CERTAIN PARTS COLOR.
• THIS IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING TASK.
• EACH COLOR IS APPLIED INDIVIDUALLY.
• ONLY ONE COLOR CAN BE APPLIED AT A TIME.
• AFTER THE COLOR HAS BEEN COMPLETED THE PARTS THEN NEED TO BE STONED OFF FLUSH SO THAT ALL THE DESIGN CAN BE SEEN AND THE COLORS ARE SEPARATED BY THE DIE LINES.

POLISHING:

• AFTER STONING THE PARTS GET POLISHED TO A HIGH LUSTER.
• PARTS THAT ARE NOT ENAMELED OR EPOXIED GO DIRECTLY TO POLISHING FROM SOLDERING.

PLATING:

• PLATING IS THE PROCESS OF ELECTRO–DEPOSITING METAL ONTO PARTS.
• WE PLATE NICKLE, GOLD, RHODIUM AND COPPER.
• THE PARTS ARE RACKED ONE BY ONE ONTO RACKS, WHICH ARE THEN CLEANED WITH A VARIETY OF CLEANERS AND THEN HUNG ON THE PLATING TANKS FOR A PRE–DESCRIBED TIME.
• WHEN COMPLETE THE RACKS ARE DRIED AND PARTS REMOVED.

PACKAGING:

• THE FINISHED PARTS ARE NOW READY FOR FINAL PACKAGING.
• THE PARTS ARE INSPECTED AND PLACED ON CUSTOMER CARDS OR PLAIN WHITE WRAPPED IN ANTI–TARNISHED TISSUE AND SHIPPED OUT.
