Electroplating Pump Application
Micropump GJ Pump case study
By Burt Process and Micropump
THE APPLICATION
Precision and efficiency are crucial when it comes to electroplating. One electroplating company excels in using electrolysis to deposit a thin film layer onto metalloid substrates. The manufacturing process of these advanced materials require a pump technology that can deliver precise amount of non-pulsating fluid at low flow rates while delivering leak-free service, and the ability to pump fluid bi-directionally gave Micropump's GJ series pump a clear advantage over competing technologies.
The Micropump GJ Solution
The GJ Series pump was the answer to the client's problem. The pump features a magnetically driven external gear design, eliminating the need for dynamic seals, which is especially crucial in applications that are intolerant of leaks. This pump offered chemical compatibility and demonstrated the ability to run both forward and reverse directions, delivering an impeccably smooth, pulseless flow. Unlike their previous choice of peristaltic pumps, which are prone to tubing leaks, need constant replacement, and require motor stoppage before altering flow direction. The GJ Series pump, complemented by Burt Process Equipment's Eagle Drive pump control panel, allowed for easy directional changes without risking motor damage. The client now possesses a solution that perfectly aligns with their high-precision electroplating needs.
