Process
systems larger than 150 gallons are usually engineered specifically for
the end-use applications. All photographs shown in this section illustrate
typical process lines built for specific industrial requirements.

This photo shows a twelve-station line with a 350-gallon electropolishing
tank, ventilating system, evaporative recovery system, and semi-automatic
waste treatment unit. The space occupied by the line is approximately
10 feet wide x 35 feet long. The ventilation system is designed
for approximately 10,000 cfm. The line produces superior quality
electropolished parts for semi-conductor and pharmaceutical applications. |

This photo shows a twelve-station line featuring a 700-gallon electropolishing tank,
evaporative recovery system, and batch waste water treatment unit.
The space occupied by the line is approximately 16 feet wide by
20 feet long, with the tanks set in a “U-shaped” arrangement. The
system produces high-quality work for semi-conductor and pharmaceutical
applications. |

This photo shows an Electropolishing tank bussed for 6000-ampere power supply.
Note the arrangement of the copper buss rails to accommodate large
parts requiring internal finishing. Electrolyte carried out of the
tank by the parts is concentrated with the assistance of a 3-station
counterflow rinse system and a heated evaporative recovery unit.
The solution can be re-used until the metal content reaches the
saturation limit of the electrolyte. |

This twelve-station line features a 1500-gallon electropolishing
tank with a 6000-ampere power supply. The system is designed for
handling large volumes of flat sheets for food manufacturing equipment. |

Note here the heavy copper bussing used for distributing the current
to the work. The ventilating system for this line is designed for
17,000 cfm. The thin-film atmospheric evaporator used in recovery
of the electrolyte is visible at the upper left of the photo. |
