Traditional jewellery finishing methods using polishing or acid baths are made obsolete. The EF Nova eliminates the use of toxic chemicals such as cyanide. Better for the environment and worker safety. Instead the new unit employs user and more environmentally friendly electrolytes.

It can also process challenging alloys such as white gold-palladium and titanium. All with exceptional precision. Reaching into intricate geometries and hard-to-reach areas. This is where traditional methods often fall short.
A capacity to process up to six rings at once, EF Nova increases efficiency in workshops. For custom needs, specialised holders for rings, bracelets or pendants are also available.
Quick and straightforward commissioning saves time and reduces training effort. This makes the EF Nova a simple plug and play unit. A user-friendly navigation system guides the operator through the functions. This minimises errors and increases production efficiency. Eight pre-installed programs enable use without special prior knowledge. Allowing beginners and smaller goldsmith workshops to get to work right away.
The process container stores information about the process media and operating hours. It enables the corresponding functions. Through automated assignment, only liquid electrolytes are permitted. Quick electrolyte changes ensure minimal downtime and continuous productivity.
The EF Nova process duration is around 30 minutes or less. This is regardless of the material and delivers outstanding smoothing and polishing results. The machine reduces labour-intensive manual tasks. Including polishing and grinding by up to 90 percent.
