Flatware Production Process
The videos below follow the production sequence recorded by Sanli. Exact operations can vary by utensil type, handle design, finish and project requirements.
Material Cutting
Stainless steel material is cut into production blanks for subsequent shaping operations.
Horizontal Thinning
The blank passes through horizontal thinning equipment to prepare the required profile for later forming.
Edge Trimming
Excess material is trimmed to refine the outline before further handle and edge processing.
Handle Embossing
A press forms the decorative handle pattern used for the selected flatware design.
Edge Grinding
Edges are ground to refine the profile and prepare the piece for additional finishing.
Edge Finishing
Further edge treatment smooths and finishes the perimeter before later process stages.
First Surface Treatment Stage
An initial surface treatment prepares the flatware for subsequent forming and polishing operations.
Press Forming
Press equipment shapes the piece according to the utensil form and selected product design.
Mirror Polishing
Polishing develops the reflective mirror surface shown on applicable stainless steel flatware models.
