With a modular design for customised deliveries according to the customer’s request • Single wire plating plants for copper and copper alloy wires with enhanced agitation and current distribution technologies. The plating plant is available for Ni, Ag, Sn and Zn plating on non-ferrous wire and is also available for stainless and carbon steel • Ultrasonic and electrolytic cleaning plants for single and multi wire applications. The units are to be placed in line with annealing furnace, hot dip galvanising process or in-line with other equipment such as the dry drawing process for very clean surfaces, typically stainless steel welding wires. The new design has a further enhanced cleaning efficiency and ease of use. Various filtration options can be added to extend the lifetime of the cleaning solution. • Multi wire nickel/copper coating plants for stainless steel spring wires or CHQ wires. The new enhanced design allows high current densities and the individual control of each wire with different speed and plating thickness.
