We know that the work rolls are the heart of your operation. Chrome plating work rolls is an excellent economical choice as the unique physical properties of chromium preserve the desired surface characteristics.
That’s why at Neo, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality results in the industry. From EDT and chrome plating to grinding and repair to chocking and de-chocking, Neo offers everything you need to keep your rolls working hard. We make promises that we are not afraid to stand behind. We promise a fast turn around but we also promise you

Electro discharge texturing (EDT)
EDT is a specialized texturing process developed to replace conventional shot blasting utilized to texture work rolls to specified surface finishes.
The EDT process consists of discharging a series of arcs through electrodes onto the surface of the work roll. Control is fully automated and maintained by submerging the electrodes in a light oil or "dielectric fluid." The electric discharge results in the roll surface being super heated to the melting point, resulting in a microscopic crater being formed on the roll during re-solidification.
Significant advantages of EDT over shot blasting:
1. EDT is able to maintain tight repeatable surface tolerances.
In most cases there is less than a 4 percent variance over the entire roll body.
2. EDT is able to texture harder work rolls. The increased use of Hi-Chrome and Super Hard rolls make EDT irreplaceable.
