Electroplating Lines & Equipment
An electroplating line moves parts through a sequence of cleaning, pickling, plating and rinsing tanks under controlled current to deposit a metal coating — zinc, nickel, chrome, copper or electroless nickel. EVESS builds the full line: tanks, transport, rectifiers, dosing, ventilation and wastewater treatment.
Line Types We Build
Automatic Electroplating Lines
Full process automation with self-diagnosis, remote dispatcher access and integrated wastewater treatment for high-volume plating.
Semi-Automatic Lines
Automated transport with operator-guided process steps — the balance point for medium-volume plating shops.
Manual Lines
Hand-operated lines with full instrumentation for small-scale production, limited to roughly 3–5 kg load capacity per bath.
Scope of Supply
Manual vs Semi-Automatic vs Automatic
| Throughput | Operators | Best For | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | Low | 1–2 per shift | Small-batch and job-shop plating |
| Semi-Automatic | Medium | 1 per shift | Medium-volume, mixed-process shops |
| Automatic | High | Supervisory only | Continuous, single-process production |
Layout Configurations
Rack line
Parts fixtured on racks — for larger or cosmetic-critical components.
Barrel line
Bulk small parts tumbled in rotating barrels for uniform coverage.
Combination
Rack and barrel sections sharing common rinse and dosing infrastructure.
What Determines the Price
Automation level, tank material and count, rectifier capacity, and whether wastewater treatment and ventilation are in scope all move the number.
