Chillers for Anodizing & Plating

High-efficiency chillers for anodizing and plating processes. Ensure consistent quality, corrosion resistance, and extended bath life. Expertly engineered for industrial applications.

Why Chillers Are Essential for Anodizing & Plating

Anodizing and plating require precise temperature control to maintain process efficiency and product quality. Excess heat from electrolytic reactions can lead to:

  • Uneven coatings
  • Reduced corrosion resistance
  • Premature bath degradation

Industrial chillers stabilize electrolyte temperatures, ensuring consistent results and lower operational costs.

How Chillers Work in Anodizing

Process:
Aluminum parts are immersed in an acidic electrolyte (e.g., sulfuric acid).
Electrical current oxidizes the surface, forming a protective layer.
Chiller Role:
Maintains electrolyte temperature at 18–22°C (64–72°F).
Prevents overheating, ensuring uniform oxide layer thickness and dye adhesion.
Applications: Aerospace, automotive, architectural components.

How Chillers Work in Plating

Process:

  1. Metal substrates (e.g., steel, copper) are coated with a thin layer of chrome, nickel, or gold via electroplating.

Chiller Role:

  • Regulates bath temperature between 25–40°C (77–104°F) (varies by metal).
  • Prevents defects like blistering, roughness, or poor adhesion.

Applications: Electronics, automotive trim, jewelry, machinery.

How to Size a Chiller for Your Process

  1. Calculate Heat Load Heat Load (kW)=Current (A)×Voltage (V)×1.2(Safety Margin) Example: 300A × 15V × 1.2 = 5.4 kW.
  2. Select Chiller Type
    • Air-Cooled: Compact, ideal for small-to-medium baths.
    • Water-Cooled: High-capacity for large-scale operations.
  3. Key Considerations
    • Bath volume and electrolyte type.
    • Ambient temperature and cooling water availability.
