The filter pump filters the plating solution in circulation and removes impurities

The filter pump for Kanigen plating SFVP series

Generally, when electroless nickel plating is performed using a chemical reaction, the temperature of the plating solution is kept high (80-95°C) and the work is carried out for long periods of time.
When considering plating quality, it is important that the plating solution is always clean, but in the case of continuous production, impurities in the plating solution tend to increase as the Metal Turn Over (MTO) and plating work progresses, which is a major cause of plating defects.

Our SFVP filter pump is a filter filtration device that constantly circulates the plating solution during long plating operations at high temperatures, while removing impurities such as dirt and dust that can cause plating defects.
The vertical pump we use stainless steel in the liquid-contacting parts and use a special mechanical seal to prevent leakage, ensuring safe use without leakage during operation.
The filter housing is made of stainless steel and Heat-resistant glass, allowing you to visually check the cartridge filter for clogs and the state of the liquid at all times.

※What is Metal Turn Over?

Metal Turn Over. It is also expressed as the number of turns or MTO.
This is a number that indicates the degree of aging of the plating solution.
Based on this number, we will set a guideline for updating the plating solution.
When all the nickel sulfate contained in the plating bath in the make-up state is consumed by plating, it is one turn (1MTO).
If the make-up plating solution contains 24.0g/L of nickel sulfate.
※MTO is calculated based on the concentration of nickel sulfate at the time of make-up.
As the concentration of nickel sulfate in the plating solution varies depending on the type of plating solution, MTO is merely an indicator of the degree of aging of the solution. Please note that it is not possible to compare the performance of other plating solutions and MTO alone.

When plating progresses and 2.4g/L of nickel sulfate is consumed and 2.4g/L of nickel sulfate is replenished (2.4g/24.0g), this is expressed as 0.1MTO.

When plating progresses and 12.0g/L of Ni sulfate is consumed and 12.0g/L of Ni sulfate is replenished (12.0g/24.0g), it is expressed as 0.5MTO.

When plating progresses and 24.0g/L of Ni sulfate is consumed and 24.0g/L of Ni sulfate is replenished (24.0g/24.0g), it is expressed as 1.0MTO.

When plating progresses and 43.2g/L of Ni sulfate is consumed and 43.2g/L of Ni sulfate is replenished (43.2g/24.0g), this is expressed as 1.8MTO.
