In the film and packaging industry, the demands on machine parts are particularly high. Rollers, knives and forming tools operate at high speeds and have to handle thin materials such as foil and laminates without losing precision. At the same time, there are high demands on hygiene, especially for food packaging.
At Lomma Hårdkrom we create hard, durable and smooth surfaces that ensure both long life and high quality in production. Our knowledge, experience and modern equipment allow us to optimize your details, whether they are newly manufactured or in need of renovation.
Parts in packaging lines are exposed to high speeds, repetitive loading and contact with thin materials that require precise tolerances. If surfaces wear down, there is a risk of uneven cuts, failure of the packaging seal or increased material waste. In addition, scratches and porous surfaces can collect dirt, which is a risk in production where food safety is addressed.
Hard chrome plating gives machine parts a durable and corrosion-resistant surface that maintains precision over time. The smooth surface finish reduces friction, makes components easier to keep clean and contributes to safe processes with a lower risk of breakdowns. For production, this means less downtime, less material waste and longer maintenance intervals.
At Lomma Hårdkrom, we combine long experience with modern technology to meet the industry's requirements. Whether it is about rollers, or other details, we help you create sustainable solutions that support efficient and hygienic production.
Since we handle all processes in-house, you can be sure to get a solution that is customized to your specific details. With pre-treatment, hard chrome plating, finishing and renovation, Lomma Hårdkrom is your complete stop for hard chrome plating.

Good to know about hard chrome plating
Hard chrome plating provides an extremely even and smooth surface that reduces friction to a minimum. This prevents thin, delicate materials from getting stuck, stretched, or unevenly torn during the process, which in turn reduces material waste and defective seals on the packaging line.
By incorporating meticulous grinding and polishing into our process, we create a completely sealed, non-porous, and mirror-like surface finish. This smooth surface makes the components significantly easier to clean thoroughly, thereby eliminating the risk of scratches and pores collecting dirt or bacteria.
We regularly work with mechanical components that are subjected to high speeds and repetitive stress. The most common parts we hard chrome-plate or refurbish are rollers, as well as various types of forming tools used in production.
Yes, we handle both newly manufactured parts and the refurbishment of existing components. If a roller or tool has been scratched, it is repaired by welding or mechanically ground mechanically until it is completely smooth before we apply a new chrome coating and polish it to the exact original dimensions.
The exact interval depends on your production rate, but since hard chrome plating provides exceptional wear resistance, it effectively counteracts repetitive wear. As a result, machine components maintain their precise tolerances for much longer, leading to fewer unplanned downtimes and longer intervals between maintenance.
