AIR AGITATION UNITS are used to provide water washed oil-free air for the
agitation of cleaning, swilling and plating tanks. Two standard sizes of Air Agitation
Units are available and the size of unit required depends upon the total length of coils
used to agitate the solution. For
cleaning, swilling and general plating solutions, it is recommended to provide double row
air agitation coils under each line of work.
Details of AIR AGITATION UNITS capacities
are given in the Table below.
These units operate at a working pressure
of 0.22/0.25 kg/cm2 (3/3.5 p.s.i.). If the Air agitation unit is situated at a
considerable distance from the tank, allowance should be made for reduction of pressure
due to friction in the service pipework. Loss of pressure will also result if the holes in
the air agitation coil are enlarged. The holes are normally drilled in the on the top of
the coil which should be situated directly under the plating jigs to ensure the efficient
removal of hydrogen bubbles from the articles during processing.
We shall be pleased to advise on the
choice of Air Agitation Units to suit your exact requirements. |
