Shiny metallic sheets in an electroplating bath for surface finishing, producing a striking high-gloss finish.

Surface finishing

A high-gloss finish requires more than just chemicals. It requires pump technology that can safely handle aggressive media.

In electroplating, acids, alkalis, electrolytes and rinse water must be reliably pumped or circulated. To ensure that processes run smoothly and surface quality remains consistent, pumps are required that do not succumb to corrosion.
SPECK offers pump solutions for electroplating and anodising plants: corrosion-resistant, optimised for the fluids handled and reliable in continuous operation. If required, they are also available in a seal-less design with a magnetic coupling. This enhances operational safety, reduces maintenance requirements and keeps the baths circulating reliably.

Benefits of SPECK

Promote aggressive media. Maintain process stability. Ensure surface quality.

Technical Specifications

Identify needs. Save energy. Ensure operational reliability.

Operating limits

  • Flow rate, depending on the model series, up to a maximum of 450 m³/h
  • Delivery head up to a maximum of 35 m, depending on the model
  • Fluid temperature: up to a maximum of 90 °C, depending on the series
  • Power output, depending on the series, from 0.25 kW to 22.0 kW
  • Parts in contact with the medium, depending on the model, made from PP, PPE, PPS, PEEK, PA, THK and ceramics
  • Suitable for water, wastewater and chemicals (on request), as well as for aggressive process media in surface treatment

Engine technology

  • Power ranges from 0.25 kW to 22.0 kW, suitable for small dosing and circulation tasks right through to larger flow rates
  • Choice between mechanical seal and magnetic coupling designs depending on the medium and safety requirements
  • Self-priming and non-self-priming designs for different system configurations
  • Magnetically coupled plastic centrifugal pumps are also available in this application range with an integrated frequency converter

Control
  • Demand-based speed control to adapt delivery capacity and flow rate to actual process requirements
  • Frequency-controlled operation ensures stable Badum agitation and consistent process conditions
  • Smoother operation reduces mechanical stress and promotes low-maintenance operation
  • The controllable version is particularly well suited to modern electroplating and anodising plants, especially when used with magnetically coupled plastic centrifugal pumps
