Saras Process is a trusted provider of high-quality electroplating and metal finishing services, specialising in printing cylinder repair and precision engineering restoration. With decades of industry experience, we work across sectors including printing, aerospace, automotive, defence, oil and gas, and more.

Our unique Metal on Metal process delivers fast, selective metal plating directly onto existing components. Unlike traditional bath plating, our portable technology allows for on-site application, reducing downtime and costs while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

Printing Cylinder Repair:

We are experts in repairing damaged or corroded printing cylinders, including on-press repairs for damage caused by screws, Allen keys, and general wear. Corroded surfaces can be fully restored using our mobile metal plating system, ensuring long-term performance and print quality.

Products for Self-Repair:

In addition to service work, we supply a full range of plating tools and equipment for client self-repair. Our product line includes rectifiers, plating tools, solution pumps, console trolleys, and plating leads, allowing customers to carry out in-house maintenance with confidence and precision.

Engineering Applications:

We support a wide range of engineering services, including the restoration of machined bearing journals, coupling diameters, and bearing housings. Our team reclaims worn parts back to original drawing tolerances using precision chrome plating, nickel plating, or zinc plating methods—ensuring critical components perform like new.
