Electroplating Exhaust Hoods

Custom exhaust hoods for your electroplating equipment

Purpose

The electroplating workshop, storage areas, and rooms for filling, weighing, grinding, measuring, and preparing substances must be equipped with a general or local ventilation system.

The equipment must ensure optimal air exchange and monitor the exceedance of maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) of hazardous chemical substances. When removing harmful factors, the emission area must be taken into account: the movement of air masses should be organized in such a way as to minimize the entry of contaminants into the employees' breathing zone.

Key Benefits of Exhaust Hoods

Protecting Workers
Exhaust hoods reduce exposure to harmful emissions, ensuring a safer working environment for employees.
Preserving Equipment
They minimize corrosive damage to machinery, tanks, and infrastructure.
Ensuring Compliance
Proper fume extraction ensures compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local air quality standards.
Improving Facility Cleanliness
Enhanced air circulation and fume control maintain a healthier and more efficient workspace.

Types of Exhaust Hoods for Electroplating Tanks

To address the unique requirements of electroplating tanks, various types of exhaust hoods are available, each designed for specific applications and levels of emission control.

1. Lip Hoods
Design: Installed along the edge of the tank, these hoods capture rising fumes directly at their source.
Applications: Best suited for tanks with low agitation or minimal fume generation.
Advantages:
  • Cost-effective and simple to install.
  • Easy maintenance, making them ideal for small-scale or low-intensity operations.

2. Canopy Hoods
Design: Positioned above the tank, canopy hoods provide a broad capture area for fumes and vapors.
Applications: Commonly used for open tanks or processes with significant heat and vapor emissions.
Advantages:
  • Broad coverage, effectively capturing high-temperature fumes.
  • Versatile design suitable for various tank configurations.
3. Push-Pull Systems
Design: A push nozzle directs air across the tank surface, while a pull hood on the opposite side captures the fumes.
Applications: Ideal for long tanks or high fume-emission processes requiring precise airflow control.
Advantages:
  • Enhanced capture efficiency with optimized airflow patterns.
  • Reduced energy consumption by minimizing unnecessary ventilation.
4. Side-Draft Hoods
Design: Positioned beside the tank, these hoods draw fumes laterally into the exhaust system.
Applications: Suitable for tanks with heavy agitation or where canopy hoods are impractical.
Advantages:
  • Compact design that fits well in confined spaces.
  • Efficient fume capture close to the source, minimizing escape into the workspace.

Materials for Exhaust Hoods and Dry Scrubber Hoods for Electroplating Tanks

Electroplating tanks often generate acidic fumes, heavy metal vapors, and other corrosive emissions. As such, we design exhaust hoods using materials specifically chosen for their chemical resistance and durability.
1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) — excellent resistance to most acids, alkalis, and chemical fumes.
Commonly used for electroplating operations involving sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and other moderately corrosive substances.
  • Cost-effective.
  • Lightweight and easy to install.
  • High resistance to corrosion and wear.
2. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) — similar to PVC but with enhanced heat resistance, making it deal for higher-temperature operations.
Suitable for processes generating hot acidic vapors.
  • Withstands higher temperatures (up to 200°F / 93°C).
  • Excellent chemical and thermal stability.

3. PP (Polypropylene) — lightweight and highly resistant to chemical corrosion.
Preferred for electroplating tanks emitting caustic fumes and alkalis.
  • Suitable for a wide range of chemicals.
  • Good structural strength for larger hood designs.
4. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) — high impact strength and chemical resistance.
Used in environments with moderate chemical exposure and mechanical wear.
  • Affordable and versatile.
  • Excellent for general-purpose hoods.
5. Stainless Steel (304/316 Grades) — highly durable, with excellent mechanical strength and moderate chemical resistance.
Suitable for high-heat operations or environments where physical impact resistance is required.
  • Long service life.
  • Can withstand mechanical wear and tear.
  • Aesthetic appearance for high-visibility installations.
6. FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) — combines chemical resistance with high structural integrity.
Best for highly corrosive environments, especially when handling aggressive acids or solvents.
  • Superior corrosion resistance.
  • Customizable for complex designs.
  • Lightweight but highly durable.
