PLATING AND ANODIZING: PUMPS AND FILTERS
They feature no mechanical seal, with a " powerful
rare earth magnetic drive system to eliminate the
troublesome mechanical seal " ; are manufactured from
polypropylene or PVDF for corrosion resistance; have a
run dry ability making them less prone to operator error
or system upset; and a self-priming option to lift fluid
from as deep as 25 feet below the pump or pull liquid out
of the top of a tank to eliminate through-the-sidewall
bulkhead fittings.
Systems can be used to filter decorative and functional
plating solutions, including brass, bronze, cyanide
cadmium, trivalent and hexavalent chromium, hard
chrome, acid copper, cyanide copper, electroless copper,
electroless nickel, acid gold, cyanide gold, bright nickel,
nickel chloride, nickel sulfamate, silver cyanide, tin, acid
chloride zinc, alkaline non-cyanide zinc, and cyanide
zinc. Other applications include acid pickling, anodizing,
blackening, cleaning, chromating, post-anodize dye and
sealing, electro-forming, electropolishing, passivating,
and zincating.
Platers and finishers have special requirements when
it comes to pump and filtration equipment. The solutions
must be handled with care and many factors such as
chemical compatibility, pH, pressure, temperature, and
flow must be considered. Working with an experienced
company will help you determine the right specs for each
component of your operation.
Protecting Your Investment
* All equipment in a shop's operation is subjected to a
host of threats that can impact its reliability and the
operation's productivity. Pumps, essential to a finisher's
shop, are no different.
* Surface-enhancement coatings are a wise choice to
protect pump surfaces but choosing the right coating
can be anything but straightforward. Many factors,
including the base metal of the pump, its operating
environment and the materials it will encounter, must all
be considered.
* General Magnaplate says it engineers its coatings to
address the application's specific requirements and
resolve any issues a customer may be experiencing with
pumps.
* Wear, abrasion, galling, and corrosion are common
threats to pump impellers, wear plates, housings,
and other vital parts, the company says. Coatings
give ordinary metal and alloy surfaces corrosionresistant,
super-hard and dry-lubricated properties
