Cell Layout

Whether the application is simple alkaline soak cleaning, or controlled depth plating, the basic concept of the all-over type process cell is the same. Each cell is fabricated of a suitable chemical-resistant material, such as polypropylene.
An external reservoir feeds fresh solution into a false bottom in the process cell, via a transfer pump. A sparger plate in the cell allows solution to be rapidly and uniformly distributed throughout the cell. Solution overflows the sides of the cell into an outer containment trough, where it eventually drains back to the reservoir. Weir gates at each end of the cell minimize outflow where the strip enters and exits the cell. An air wipe at the exit minimizes dragout.

Applications:

• Soak Clean

• Acid Activate

• Immersion Rinse

• All-Over Plate

• Controlled Depth Plate
