Polypropylene Plating Tanks for Galvanizing Plants

Built for high-performance galvanizing, polypropylene plating tanks offer superior chemical resistance, heat tolerance, and reliable operation in corrosive industrial environments.

Purpose

Polyethylene offers a unique combination of chemical resistance, strength, and affordability. It outperforms metals and many plastics in corrosive environments, making it a preferred material for tanks used in demanding conditions. Its natural flexibility also contributes to impact resistance and long service life.

Compared to metal tanks, polyethylene does not corrode, requires no internal coatings or maintenance, and is significantly lighter — making it easier to transport and install.

Compared to fiberglass or PVC tanks, polyethylene offers better impact resistance, seamless construction, and longer service life in outdoor environments.

Design Customized for the Client's Objectives

Galvanic baths made of polypropylene meet all the requirements imposed on electrochemical constructions: they are reliable, leak-proof, and do not react with the contents.

Durable & Chemically Resistant

Made from high-quality polypropylene that resists corrosion and aggressive chemicals — ideal for harsh galvanizing environments.

Customizable Design

Available in various sizes and configurations with optional features like heating elements, partitions, covers, and metal frames — tailored to your process.

High Temperature & Thermal Efficiency

Withstands temperatures up to +130°C and features low thermal conductivity to minimize heat loss and boost energy efficiency.

Excellent Electrical Insulation

High dielectric strength ensures safe and stable performance in electrochemical operations.

Low Moisture & Vapor Permeability

Effectively blocks moisture and vapor, maintaining internal chemical integrity and stability.

Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces

Non-stick interior prevents buildup of residues, reducing maintenance time and effort.

Safe & Non-Toxic Materials

Non-reactive and food-grade safe polypropylene minimizes health risks and supports workplace safety.

Long-Term Cost Efficiency

Low maintenance needs and exceptional durability result in reduced operating costs over time.

Applications

Plating tanks are essential in industries where surface finishing, corrosion protection, and performance enhancement of metal components are required. Key application areas include:

Automotive – Electroplating of parts and trim to improve appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Jewelry & Fashion Accessories – Applying gold, silver, rhodium, and other precious metal finishes.
Electronics – Coating of connectors, circuit boards, and components for better conductivity and solderability.
Medical & Healthcare – Electroplating of surgical instruments and implants for biocompatibility and sterilization.
Aerospace – Surface treatment of aircraft parts to resist wear, corrosion, and extreme environments.
Military & Defense – Coating of weapons, vehicles, and equipment to ensure durability in harsh conditions.
Metalworking – Plating of tools, machine components, and custom parts for functional and aesthetic benefits.
Renewable Energy – Enhancing the performance and longevity of components in solar, wind, and storage systems.

QUICK SELECTION BY SECTOR

Types of Plating Tanks

Our tanks comply with applicable industry standards and can be produced in standard or fully customized formats.
1. Tanks Without Pockets
Available in multiple design variations depending on capacity and application.

Execution No. 1. The simplest design of a plating tank, filling and draining of the electrolyte are done through the top edge using feed pumps or manually.

Execution No. 2. The filling and draining of the solution from the plating tank occur through a pipe installed at the bottom of the side wall.

Execution No. 3. The filling and draining of the solution from the plating tank occur through a pipe installed at the bottom of the tank.

2. Tanks With Pockets
Pockets are designed for controlled drainage and to prevent electrolyte overflow when loading large parts. Placement and height (10–20% of wall height) can be customized based on client requirements.

The pipe of the galvanic tank is located in the lateral part of the pocket. The drain fitting is connected to the side of the pocket wall from any direction depending on the placement.

The pipe is located at the bottom of the pocket.The lower position of the drain ensures maximum removal of the solution.

3. Multi-Chamber (Cascade) Tanks
Used for pre- and post-plating rinsing stages. Multiple rinsing chambers improve processing efficiency and quality, though their large size may require additional space for installation.
All tank types can be manufactured according to standard dimensions or based on your custom technical drawings — allowing full adaptation to specific galvanizing processes and workshop constraints.

Two-chamber tanks with bottom drain: Due to the cascade arrangement, solution overflow is achieved.

Two-chamber tanks with side drain: Drainage fittings can be connected from both ends.

Three-chamber single-cascade tanks: Three cascades allow for improved processing quality of parts in one tank filling.

Three-chamber double-cascade tanks: The middle compartment of the tank is constantly cleaned from floating contaminants.

Four-chamber tanks with side drain: The side pocket serves to accumulate excess solution during the immersion of a large number of parts.

With bottom drain: The bottom placement of the drain allows for space-saving in the facility, as tanks can be positioned closer to each other.

Depending on the specifics of the electroplating process, parts can be rinsed using various technologies, improving processing quality and reducing time. The drawback of multi-cascade tanks is their large size, which can pose challenges during installation in small-footprint production workshops.
Electroplating tanks can be manufactured in standard sizes or according to individual sketches provided by consumers. The latter option allows for maximum consideration of workshop conditions and electroplating technology features.
