Optimized Grind Finishing® für Konusbehälter mit minimaler Anhaftung
Konusbehälter sind auf kontrollierten Produktfluss und möglichst gute Restentleerung ausgelegt. Gerade bei Pulvern, Granulaten, Cremes, Pasten, Wirkstoffen oder Spezialchemikalien entscheidet jedoch nicht nur die konische Geometrie über das Entleerungsverhalten, sondern auch die produktberührende Oberfläche.
Das Optimized Grind Finishing®-Verfahren ergänzt die Konusgeometrie durch eine anhaftungsarme Edelstahloberfläche bis Ra ‹ 0,05 µm. Dadurch können Restmengen reduziert, Reinigungsprozesse erleichtert und Chargenwechsel sicherer vorbereitet werden – besonders in Pharma, Kosmetik/Naturkosmetik und Spezialchemie.
Bessere Restentleerung
Die Konusgeometrie unterstützt den Produktfluss zum Auslauf. OGF ergänzt diesen Effekt durch eine anhaftungsarme Edelstahloberfläche.
Weniger Rückstände
OGF reduziert die Anhaftung von Partikeln, Pulvern, pastösen Medien und Produktrückständen auf produktberührenden Edelstahlflächen.
Effizientere Reinigung
Eine optimierte Oberfläche erleichtert die Reinigung des Konusbehälters – besonders bei häufigen Chargen- oder Produktwechseln.
Mehr Sicherheit bei sensiblen Medien
Geringere Restanhaftung kann dazu beitragen, unerwünschte Rückstände zwischen Produktionschargen zu reduzieren.
Ideal für hochwertige Produkte
Bei Wirkstoffen, Spezialchemikalien, Kosmetika oder hochwertigen Lebensmittelkomponenten ist jede reduzierte Restmenge wirtschaftlich relevant.

You ask, we answer
Cone container, cone container, cone tank and cone base are terms that are directly related to the production of stainless steel pressure vessels, as they describe specific construction elements and designs that are used in the manufacture of such vessels.
Conical container:
A conical container is a container whose base or lid is conical, i.e. shaped like a cone. This shape enables efficient emptying of liquids or bulk materials, as the conical base guides the material towards the center, where it can flow off or be removed more easily. In stainless steel pressure vessel production, conical containers are often used to optimize emptying processes and minimize contamination.
Cone container:
A cone container is similar to a cone container, but it is a container that also has a conical base or lid. These containers are often designed for the transportation and storage of materials under pressurized conditions. Stainless steel offers ideal properties for the manufacture of such pressurized containers due to its corrosion resistance and strength.
Conical tank:
A conical tank is a tank with a conical shape, typically at the bottom. These tanks are often used in industrial applications to store liquids or gases under pressure. The conical bottom facilitates the complete emptying and cleaning of the tank. Stainless steel conical tanks are particularly common in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as stainless steel offers high resistance to chemical reactions and easy cleanability.
Cone bottom:
A cone bottom is a specific component that is integrated into the construction of pressure vessels. It is the conically shaped bottom of a container or tank. The conical bottom helps to center and completely drain the contents of the vessel, which is particularly important when the vessel is under pressure. Stainless steel conical bottoms are a preferred choice in the production of pressure vessels due to their high strength and corrosion resistance.
Conical shapes of stainless steel containers improve the efficiency of emptying and cleaning and are particularly suitable for applications where pressure vessels are required to store and transport liquids or gases safely and hygienically.
We only use high-quality stainless steels such as 1.4301 (AISI 304) and 1.4404 (AISI 316L), which are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Depending on the application, other specialized materials can also be used, such as 1.4435 (AISI 316L), 1.4539 (AISI 904L) or Hastelloy.

Our stainless steel containers are resistant to aggressive chemicals and are perfect for safe storage and transportation in the chemical industry.
The surface finish has a decisive influence on the chemical and physical properties of stainless steels. In hygiene-sensitive sectors such as the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries, technical terms such as EHDG or hygienic design are becoming increasingly important. The background to this is that operators want to avoid the carry-over of particles and the associated contamination of their batches as far as possible. One of the decisive factors here is the cleaning behavior of surfaces and the associated adhesion behavior of particles.
BOLZ INTEC, a long-standing producer of containers and special constructions made of chrome-nickel steels, has asked itself precisely these questions and has investigated the properties of surfaces in several years of research work in cooperation with the University of Constance. In addition to the usual roughness profile of surfaces, which is currently used as the main feature when describing surface quality, attention was paid to other factors such as their final surface energy and examined in more detail.
The current state of the art is the assessment of surfaces using non-destructive testing, such as roughness depth measurement in conjunction with optical testing. However, in addition to these, there are other criteria that should not be ignored. Among other things, the way in which the surface is finished should be considered. It has been found that different grinding methods show different adhesion behavior in the final assessment of the surface, although the Ra value of both surfaces is the same. This means that the way in which the material is removed plays an important role here. As an experiment, the container was ground with an automated grinding process over a long period of time, in contrast to the usual manual grinding. This fine removal over a longer period of time resulted in less adhesion and therefore better cleaning. In the further course of the investigation, this was referred to as the final surface energy.
BOLZ INTEC has made use of the knowledge gained from the research cooperation with the University of Constance and developed a process in which the low and constant removal of the stainless steel surface is achieved semi-automatically over a long period of time. The process is called Optimized Grind Finishing or OGF process. The removal in the container is achieved with geometrically indeterminate grinding wheels that move inside the container. The major advantage of the OGF process is that, in addition to its outstanding quality, the surface is reproducible. The result is independent of undefined variables, such as the manual contact pressure during conventional grinding by an employee or the quality of the abrasives.
In the course of the investigations in cooperation with the University of Constance, BOLZ INTEC has further refined stainless steel surfaces refined using the OGF process and subjected them to an electropolishing process. In this process, the peaks in the surface structure are further removed, which, in addition to optical advantages, also brings chemical changes, such as improved corrosion protection through a reinforced passive layer. In the final assessment of the study, the improved cleaning behavior was demonstrated with the help of a test based on VDA19.1 (March 2015)/ISO16232 (December 2018). The OGF process drastically reduces residual dirt adhesion in containers and thus offers the operator the added value of significantly reducing the risk of contamination of two batches.
The reduction of build-up leads to shorter cleaning and maintenance times, increased reusability of the containers and thus to an overall increase in production efficiency.
The OGF process results in low particle adhesion, improves cleaning efficiency and reduces the risk of contamination of product batches.
The improved cleanability and the subsequent electropolishing process help to extend the service life of the stainless steel containers.
Our containers meet industry-specific standards and certifications, including EHEDG for hygienic standards in the food industry.
Thanks to their durability, our optimized stainless steel containers help to reduce waste and resource consumption. The efficient cleaning behavior also improves the environmental balance.
