Electroplating tank filters are used for filtering electroplating solutions, circulating fluids, chemicals used in PCB manufacturing processes, as well as various chemical solutions. Therefore, how can we select the most suitable materials and pumps by taking into account the properties of these chemicals? Chuangsheng Pumps recommends three methods for choosing the appropriate model of electroplating tank filter based on actual usage conditions. Important criteria for selecting the model of a plating tank filter: (1) Choose the pump or filter material based on the composition of the chemical solution, its concentration, and temperature. Operating conditions for PVDF: It can withstand high temperatures of 95°C, as well as strong acids and strong bases (high-temperature chemical nickel, hexavalent chromium). Usage conditions of FRPP: It can withstand high temperatures of up to 70 degrees and is resistant to ordinary acids and alkalis. (2) Select the most suitable type of pump or filter based on customer requirements and the application scenario. Filters: Filters for electroplating tanks, activated carbon treatment units for waste acid processing, chemical nickel filters for electroless nickel plating, and chromic acid filters for hard chromium plating. Pumping: Acid- and alkali-resistant magnetic pump (electrophoretic coating, pearl nickel plating, small and medium-sized filters – very few bubbles) ； Vertical pump (electrophoresis process, waste gas treatment, chemical nickel filter – suitable for liquids containing crystalline particles, resistant to idling) ； Self-priming pump (for transporting electroplating solutions, wastewater treatment – strong self-priming capability). (3) Select the pump based on the water pump’s head and flow rate requirements ； The filter is selected based on the size of the tank and the number of cycles (filtering capacity = tank volume * number of cycles/H). For example, if the tank is 1M long, 0.7M wide, and 1.2M high, with 5–8 cycles per hour, a higher number of cycles is required for adjusting the pH level. Answer: 1*0.7*1.2*8=6.7T, so a plating filter with a capacity of 10 tons should be chosen.
