What is the role of the steam generator in the electroplating process?

The electroplating process includes degreasing, pickling, electroplating, water washing and other links. Each link has strict requirements on process conditions such as temperature and humidity. The steam generator has become a powerful assistant in electroplating production due to its own characteristics.The steam generator has the characteristics of efficient and rapid steam production. It can produce steam within 28 seconds and reach the rated pressure in 5 minutes, providing a stable heat source for heating the electroplating tank liquid. During the electroplating process, the plating solution needs to maintain a specific temperature to ensure the activity and deposition rate of the metal ions. The steam generator can quickly heat the plating solution to an appropriate temperature to ensure the stability of the electroplating quality. For example, in the chrome plating process, maintaining the plating solution temperature at 65-75°C can make the chrome layer more uniform and dense.Its precise temperature control feature is also crucial. Different electroplating processes have different temperature requirements. The steam generator can realize the full automation control of the three supply systems (water supply, gas supply, and power supply) through the "PLD-iPower2.0" intelligent control system and full frequency conversion PID intelligent operation, and control the plating solution temperature within a very small error range. This precise temperature control helps to improve the bonding strength and surface quality of the electroplating layer and reduce the scrap rate.In addition, the steam generator also has the advantages of environmental protection and energy saving. Compared with traditional heating methods, it can effectively reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Nitrogen oxide emissions are ≤21mg/m³, and CO emissions are close to 0. Its efficient energy utilization reduces the production cost of electroplating companies and is also in line with the current concept of green production.Therefore, in the complex process of electroplating, the steam generator has become the core equipment to ensure the quality and production efficiency of electroplating with its excellent performance of efficient steam production, precise temperature control, environmental protection and energy saving. From quickly and stably supplying heat to the plating solution, to accurately controlling the temperature with the intelligent system, to helping enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency with the advantages of green energy saving, it is promoting the electroplating industry to move towards refinement, intelligence and greenness in all directions. In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology, steam generators will surely play a more important role in the field of electroplating, and continue to inject strong impetus into the high-quality development of the industry.
