Patent for Bolz Intec: Optimised Grind Finishing® process
Milestone for surface innovation in stainless steel - result of years of research together with the University of Constance BOLZ INTEC GmbH has completed a significant development step: The Optimised Grind Finishing® process (OGF), developed in close cooperation with the University of Konstanz, was successfully patented at the end of March 2025. This marks the culmination of several years of research work - with a process that takes stainless steel processing for high-tech applications to a new level.
Optimised Grind Finishing® (OGF) reduces particle adhesion to stainless steel surfaces to an unprecedented minimum. This makes a significant contribution to reducing the risk of product contamination and ensuring the integrity of sensitive manufacturing processes - for example in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or fine chemicals. In addition, the improved cleanability of the surfaces enables a significant reduction in the use of abrasives, aggressive cleaning chemicals, water and energy. The process therefore not only contributes to product quality and safety, but also supports
