TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Industry Standard calls for 2:1 Anode to Cathode ratio when calculating anodes in a bath
Mini-Expanded / Micro Mesh: 3/8″ x 1/2″ (approx 65 % mesh open area)
is the most commonly used mesh type, offering a compromise between enough open area and basket stability
Large Expanded: 1/2″ x 1.25″ (approx 75 % mesh open area)
is highly used for large anode ball applications
Perforated : 1/2″ diameter on 11/16″ staggered centers (approx 50 % mesh open area)
is the most durable and used with a variety of anode material
BASKET AMPERAGE and HOOKS:
| Amp Rating Per Hook | DKE Hook Size | Square Bar Hook Size |
| 25 AMP | 1/8″ x 1″ | 3/8″ |
| >50 AMP | 1/4″ x 1″ | 1/2″ |
| 75 AMP | 3/8″ x 1″ | 5/8″ |
| 100 Amp | 1/2″ x 1″ | 3/4″ |
Rectangular Baskets are standard with 50 AMP/bskt Double Contact Hooks (DKE). Higher amperage is available (i.e. 100 amps, 150 amps & 200 + amps)
BASKET SIZING:
The following rules of thumb are recommended for sizing baskets:
-
Baskets should be 2″ to 4″ shorter than the longest piece of work
-
Baksets should be 1″ aobve the solution level
-
Hook length is measured from top of anode bar to 1″ above the solution level
ANODE QUANTITIES:
| Anodes To Fill Basket | Rectangular basket 2.5″ x 6″ x L | Round 2″ Dia x L |
| Nickel Chips | 3 lbs / inch of Length | 0.8 lbs / inch of Length |
| Copper Chunks | 2.5″ lbs / inch of Length | 0.75 lbs / inch of Length |
| 2″ Copper Balls | 2 lbs / inch of Length | 0.625 lbs / inch of Length |
BASKET OPTIONS:
Inverted “V” lift Hooks, Inverted “U” hooks and reverse Lift Hooks for easier access in lifting baskets
Submergible Hooks
Loading Chutes for easier anode loading
Mesh on 4 sides of basket foe greater anode to cathode ratio
Thicker mesh material
TiClad Copper Hooks for higher amperage rating
Anode Mesh Bags:
| Fabric types | Cloth appearance | Density | Applicative liquid | Remarks |
| P750(polypropylene fiber) | smooth | 180-200 mesh | Acid, alkali | Poor high temperature,long run will be harden, apply for general quality requirements |
| P751(polypropylene fiber) | Have hair | 250-300 mesh | Acid, alkali | Poor high temperature,long run will be harden, apply for high quality requirements |
| Taiwan cloth(terylene) | One sidesmooth, The Other side has hair | 350-400mesh | Acid, weak alkali | Good high temperature, long run maintain soft, apply to higher quality plating requirements |
