The use of low-pressure air to agitate metal finishing plating, anodizing, rinseand-wash tank solutions represents a milestone in the advancement of electroplating technique. While decreasing your operating costs, you can expect low pressure air agitation to:

● Enhance plating quality

● Increase production

● Permit a more continuous plating process

Enhances Plating Quality. Low-pressure air from a Heli roots blower provides efficient removal of cathode films with higher speed plating,thus decreasing polarization. Polarization is the increase in resistance of the electrodes that results from the chemical reactions of metal finishing, and causes a drastic slowdown of the electrolytic reaction needed to produce the process.

Increases Production. Low-pressure air helps dislodge dirt particles,flushes away dissolved grease, and ensures contact with the plating solution. The air also increases rinsing efficiency, which reduces the amount of rinse water required, thus minimizing demands on a plant’s waste treatment system.Permits Continuous Plating Process. Air agitation also prevents excess collection concentration, thus lowering drag out. Concentration circulation will keep the solution fresh and minimize the required solution change. In addition, agitation will maintain an even solution concentration and prevent stratification in the separation and division of chemicals in solution.
