Using an automatic feeding machine to add the nickel plating brightener, why is the production result not as good as expected?

In electroplating production, the nickel plating brightener needs to be replenished in a timely manner. Moreover, the amount of replenishment in one go should not be excessive; it needs to be added in small amounts multiple times. This is what electroplaters often say: the brightener should be added in small quantities frequently. Then, with the development of technology, there are now commercial ampere-hour meters combined with automatic feeding machines for sale, and the price is quite high. Can we be assured that with this replenishment equipment, we can proceed with confidence? The answer is no.

Many practical experiences in electroplating workshops have shown that using ampere-hour meters combined with automatic feeding devices does not yield the expected results. Sometimes, it even has the opposite effect. Once problems arise, there are often three defective conductive rod products on the automatic line.

Why is this the case? The reason is that with this device in place, the technicians and operators in the workshop have less concern about this aspect. They believe that the automatic feeding system can fulfill its duties and won't have any problems, so there's no need to worry about it anymore.

Little do people realize that electroplated products are a variable factor. Moreover, even if the consumption of nickel plating brightener is calculated precisely, it will still change along with the temperature of the plating solution. Generally speaking, when the temperature of the plating solution is high, the consumption of the brightener is large; conversely, it is small. Sometimes, the influence of the plating solution temperature on the consumption of the brightener is quite significant.

In response to this situation, as a manufacturer of nickel plating brighteners, Bigely will arrange engineers to provide technical support services to customers. When electroplating plants use this automatic feeding device, our production experience is often taken into consideration, which will make it more reliable.
