The basic equipment in small plating equipment, the main role is to install the solution. The plating tank can be used in a straight line according to the manual process flow, or it can be used in a separate plating kind arrangement according to the space of the site according to local conditions. If it is a mechanical automatic production line, it is basically arranged according to the process flow.
Electroplating tank is the basic equipment of small plating equipment.
Material: The tank is made of titanium plating tank (resistant to corrosion of acid and alkali solution), PP, PVC, PVDF, FRP tank, stainless steel tank, granite, PTFE (can be used in any acid), etc.
Plating tanks are used to install solutions for galvanizing, copper plating, nickel plating, gold plating, etc. The cathode moving plating tank consists of a steel tank lined with soft PVC plastic, conductive device, steam heating pipe and cathode moving device. The tank can also be made of rigid PVC lined steel frame. The choice of tank structure depends on the nature and temperature of the plating bath solution. It consists of motor, reducer, eccentric disc, connecting rod and strut roller.
The main components of the tank include the tank body, solution heating and cooling device, conduction device and stirring device. Sometimes the tank directly holds the solution such as hot water tank, and sometimes the basic requirements for the lining matrix or skeleton such as steel tank are no leakage and certain rigidity and strength to avoid damage to the lining layer caused by excessive deformation of the tank; the bottom of the steel tank should be 10 ~ 12 mm above the ground to prevent serious corrosion.
The usual size of plating tank is the volume of electrolyte contained in the plating tank cavity (L), i.e. plating tank cavity length × cavity width × electrolyte depth. Generally, it can be measured and selected according to the plating processing capacity or existing DC power supply equipment, etc. Selecting the appropriate plating tank size is important for developing growth plans, estimating output and ensuring plating quality.
When determining the size of the plating bath, the following three basic conditions must be met.
(1) To meet the plating requirements of the part being processed, if the part can be fully submerged and all surfaces need to be plated.
(2) To prevent overheating of the electrolyte.
(3) The ability to maintain a certain stability of the electrolyte composition content during the plating production cycle.
Of course, the overall coordination of the production line should also be considered to meet the requirements of the rationality of the plating shop layout.
