Used Anodizing & Electroplating Equipment

23456

Overview

Anodizing and electroplating equipment includes tanks, rectifiers, racks, pumps, filtration, heating/cooling, and fume control used to apply durable, decorative, or functional metal finishes. Common in aerospace, automotive, and fabrication shops, these systems manage chemical baths, current control and part handling to deposit or convert metal surfaces for corrosion resistance, conductivity, or appearance. Systems range from bench units to full production lines with automated racks and waste treatment.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying used anodizing or electroplating equipment?

Check tank linings for corrosion or leaks, rectifier output and controls, pumps, heaters, filtration, racking and hoists, wiring and grounding. Ask for service records and confirm no hidden chemical damage.

How should the equipment be prepared and shipped?

Drain and neutralize baths, remove and clean hazardous residues, secure loose parts, tag electrical disconnects, and use rigging rated for the weight. Ship with SDSs and coordinate hazmat rules for any leftover chemicals.

What routine maintenance keeps plating systems reliable?

Regularly monitor and adjust bath chemistry, replace anodes/cathodes, clean filters and tanks, verify rectifier output, maintain pumps and ventilation, and run waste-treatment checks. Keep detailed logs and follow manufacturer intervals.
