Brightener Feeders
Brightener feeders are an excellent tool for automatically maintaining electroplating chemical additives. A brightener feeder is hooked up to the shunt on the rectifier so it can read the amps while parts are being plated. Based on the chemical manufacturer’s recommendations, the brightener feeder is programmed to pump one or two additives simultaneously every set number of amp minutes or amp hours. For example, when setting up an acid chloride zinc brightener feeder it is common to program the unit to pump 1 gallon of brightener every 18-20 thousand amp hours.
