Contact systems and accessories for anodizing and electroplating plants

Product catalog summary
Overview: This catalogue by Paul Druseidt Elektrotechnische Spezialfabrik GmbH & Co. KG provides comprehensive information on contact systems and accessories for anodizing and electroplating plants. It highlights the significance of high-quality contact systems in reducing energy consumption, increasing plant availability, and enhancing productivity.
Specifications and Features:
  • The catalogue details various contact systems designed for high current densities, essential for efficient electroplating baths.
  • Customized solutions are emphasized due to the diverse designs and requirements of different electroplating systems.
  • Standard contact systems include finger contact systems, hydro-pneumatically actuated systems, bolt contact systems, and pneumatically actuated plate contact systems, accommodating current loads from 250 A to over 14,000 A.
Design Considerations:
  • Contact systems must be tailored to specific installation conditions, considering factors like current load, product carrier dimensions, chemical influences, and available space.
  • Protective covers made of stainless steel are available to shield contacts from chemical splashes, with heavy-duty designs recommended for heavier product carriers.
Product Offerings:
  • The catalogue lists a variety of contact systems and accessories, including cleaning saddles, anode busbar contacts, support blocks, and flexible cables.
  • Information on the design and production of busbar systems and contacts for plating racks is also provided.
Technical Data and Customization:
  • Technical data for each product, such as dimensions and current load capacities, are provided as non-binding guide values.
  • Customization options are available to meet specific plant requirements, with the possibility of replacing individual components or entire contact elements.
Conclusion: The catalogue serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting and implementing contact systems in anodizing and electroplating plants, emphasizing the importance of tailored solutions to optimize plant performance and efficiency.
Installation and Operation: Contact halves must be installed with pretension, ensuring the mounting distance is less than the thickness of the product carrier, allowing for fully automatic operation. The design incorporates a self-cleaning effect through abrasion on the contact surfaces.
Advanced Features: Some models feature pneumatically actuated clamping force support, allowing for safe operation with varying product carrier thicknesses without changing the contact setting, requiring an air pressure of 4-6 bar.
Recommendations: For lighter product carriers (less than 50 kg), specific adjustments are necessary, and consultation is recommended. The document also suggests using cleaning systems adapted to the contacts for optimal performance.
High Current Bolt Contacts: These robust systems with spring-loaded contact bolts are available in versions from 800 A to 12000 A, designed for easy maintenance and replacement of contact bolts.
Pneumatically Actuated Contacts: Designed for high contact pressure and continuous current applications, these modular systems can be combined for higher current loads, with detailed specifications provided for different designs.
Cleaning and Maintenance: Emphasizes maintaining low contact resistance through proper cleaning, with various cleaning saddles and devices available to optimize the process and reduce contamination on contact surfaces.
Temperature Sensor and Contact Saddles: The temperature sensor can be factory-mounted or customer-installed. Contact saddles may include an insulation plate, and custom cable lengths are available.
Connection Options: Various part numbers are provided for different current loads, with suitable connectors for pneumatic actuation. Technical data for cross-sections and dimensions are listed, with lengths customizable per customer requirements.
Cleaning Systems: Druseidt provides cleaning systems to reduce performance losses and maintenance costs, including hand cleaners for quick cleaning and automated cleaning carriers for continuous cleaning of contact surfaces.
Specifications: The document provides specifications for aluminium and copper busbars, including tensile strength, conductivity, specific resistance, and density, with recommendations for using specific materials for deoxidation to achieve minimum conductivity and copper content.
