Electroformed sheets
Particularly in the chemical and foodstuff industries, electroformed micro-perforated plates have made a significant contribution to solving difficult separation problems, e.g. with centrifuges. They now supplement fine-screen plates made from punch-perforated sheets or wire mesh for separating processes that call for the highest precision and optimum throughput.
In recent years micro-perforated plates manufactured from pure nickel in an electroplating process have found application in countless branches of industry.
Design
Perforated plates with round and square perforations and with slotted and special perforations.
Perforated plates manufactured by electroplating, with a smooth upper surface on the working side and with perforations that widen conically in the through-pass direction.
Smallest hole widths from 0.04 mm as a round or a slotted perforation.
Special hole shapes on request.
Material
Soft or hard nickel with bright or very bright surface
Application
As filters, screen/centrifuge linings, printing stencils, separators for dust, water, oil, petrol, etc.
The advantages
The hole shape can be adjusted to suit every intended use.
The surface is completely smooth on the working side.
High degree of resistance to corrosion, acid and abrasion. (This can be increased still further with the application of a layer of hard chrome).
Holes that widen conically in the through-pass direction guarantee the greatest possible freedom from clogging.
