Ampere Hour Meters

CDI provides Amp Hour Meters that are often used in the Electroplating industry where the electrodeposition amount is of critical importance. In the plating industry the thickness of the coating deposited on the parts is directly proportional to the electrical current that is being consumed. Using an Ampere Hour Meter allows you to measure and total the current flowing. By knowing the surface area that is being plated, the thickness of the plated deposit can be calculated. Consumption of chemical reagents used in the plating process is proportional to the current flow. So it is possible to automatically meter chemicals proportional to the current flow using chemical dosing pumps

Anode Bags

A filter that prevents solid anode particles from getting into the electroplating solution. Once these solid anode particles are in the electroplating solution, they will normally cause roughness that can be "seen and felt" on the electroplated deposit. Anode bags have a limited life; possibly 6 months at that point they must be laundered or replaced with new anode bags. Problems occur when the anode bags get old they tend to "Block" Normal Solution transfer between the actual anode and the electroplating solution.

CDI has been supplying a line of filtration products for over 30 years. No order is too small or too large and every order is appreciated, and receives individual attention. In addition to standard anode bags and filter bags, we specialize in custom configurations for any application.

Our expert design team can design and produce bags for your anode basket or filter container, in a wide range of fabrics (CFM or Micron rated), with cord, drawstring, Velcro, or ties.

Chipwringers

CDI offers Chipwringers that are the right choice to reclaim cutting oils from metal chips produced by screw machines, boring mills, grinders, and other machining operations.

The Chipwringers use centrifugal force to spin cutting oil from a basket of chips. Simultaneously, a turbine fan mounted below the basket pulls a powerful stream of air down through the parts load, then blows the coolant off the chips toward the drain coupling. You get reusable oil and dry, salable chips quickly.

Controls and foot brake are conveniently located for easy, trouble-free operation. Occasional tightening of the drive belt and regular lubrication keeps the Chipwringers in top shape.

Chipwringers are available in a 7 pound capacity for small volumes, a 75 and 150 pound capacity for low to moderate volume shops, and a 250 pound capacity for high-volume shops. All four models feature quiet-running, one-man operation.

Electroless Nickel

Electroless Nickel (EN) is a chemical method for plating nickel alloys onto metal parts. The alloy can be formed with varying percentages of phosphorus or boron to provide a wide range of hardness, corrosion resistance, magnetism, appearance and other properties. As the process uses no electricity, EN coatings are perfectly uniform thickness across even the most complex shaped parts. EN plating can be applied to virtually any substrate material with the most common being steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys, titanium, and even plastics.

Electroless Nickel Controllers

Electroless Nickel Controllers are used to monitor and maintain an electroless nickel plating bath. The Electroless Nickel Controller system receives a measurement of the baths condition from the sensor, and decides what corrective action is needed. If the bath parameters are within their accepted limits, it will start the pumps, if the bath parameters are outside of their accepted range, the controller will sound an alarm.

Hull Cell Equipment

The cell, called a Hull Cell, is a miniature plating unit for producing a cathode deposit that records the character of electroplate at all current densities within the operating range. It is among the most useful tools available to the plating chemist for control of plating baths. It is an indispensable adjunct to standard analytical methods, enabling the skilled operator to determine and control the effects of addition agents, impurities and purification treatments on the plating electrolyte, many of which can be determined by no other method. Practically every plating solution can be controlled or evaluated to varying degrees by the use of the Hull Cell. CDI offers a complete selection of Hull Cells, accessories and related equipment to enable the plater to effectively use this plating process control method.

pH Meters

From benchtops to complete systems and from portables to testers, CDI provides solutions in all categories of pH instrumentation.

Platecoils

Essentially two sheets welded together, one or both of which is die-formed, PLATECOIL panels comprise a series of passages through which a heating or cooling media flows. Three styles of Multi-Zone and two styles of Serpentine flow configurations ensure that you get the right combination of flow rate and heat transfer rate with steam, gases or liquids. In designing individual solutions with PLATECOIL, Tranter engineers use advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to determine factors such as heat transfer coefficients and convection effects.

PLATECOIL flow patterns applied for steam provide reserve capacity to compensate for intermittent overloads during start-ups, distributing steam virtually instantaneously to all levels of the plate. Under load swings, PLATECOIL attains desired operating temperatures extremely rapidly, with minimum variation. PLATECOIL styles for liquid heating or cooling media, including hot oil or refrigerants, promote high internal flow velocities for high heat transfer rates.

More than 300 sizes are available, with widths ranging from 305 mm to 1090 mm (12 in. to 43 in.) and lengths spanning 585 mm to 3630 mm (23 in. to 143 in.). A wide variety of materials, gauges and finishes are available. Connection options are 3/4 in. to 2 in. NPT or flange.

Sludge Dryers

The cake from a filter press can be reduced by as much as 4:1 by utilizing a sludge dryer.

Sludge Dryers distributed by CDI are designed for small, medium and large quantity sludge generators. These units can fit under the filter press for direct loading or can be located elsewhere in the plant. The sludge is dried by the heated liner of our unit while it is broken-up and circulated by our spiral blade system. The dryer liner uses indirect heat sources from either steam, electric strips or gas fire. The preheated airflow system draws the moisture off the top of the internal dryer and out through our wet scrubber system. After 4-6 hours of drying time the reduced sludge is removed by simply opening our discharge panel underneath our units for gravity discharge into a container. A conveyor auger is available as an option to remove the sludge upward if the disposal container is elevated above the dryer.

Solvent Recovery Systems

CDI represents USA manufactured Solvent Recycling systems that incorporate superior technology and design to recycle almost any solvent for reuse. This solvent recycling (distillation) equipment has a proven track record. Thousands of satisfied customers use these solvent recyclers to successfully recycle millions of gallons of waste solvent on site each year. The batch distillation systems achieved patent status and received certification from independent testing agencies. Nearly 30 years of manufacturing experience in this industry earned the systems an international reputation as an expert in the design, manufacture, and application of solvent distillation/solvent recycling technology. The solvent recyclers carry a 3-year warranty along with a lifetime warranty on the heater unit.

Spin Dryers

CDI offers Industrial dryers that speed production by drying two ways. Centrifugal force from the spinning action of the basket "throws off" excess water, oils, rinses, or paints. At the same time, a turbine fan mounted below the basket creates a powerful suction that pulls air through the parts load for added drying power. This double-drying action assures fast drying and reduces the scarring and marring frequently responsible for costly rejects. In most cases, you'll get unspotted, moisture-free parts in less than 60 seconds.

Spin Dryer Baskets

Fabricated polypropylene and poly/stainless or stainless / carbon steel baskets for use in plating, dipping, spin dryers and material handling operations.

Polypro is resistant to many chemicals used in industrial plating operations, and, in some cases, can be used in place of heavier carbon steel and stainless steel baskets.
