Advanced Engineering Features

Optimized 2B Surface & V-Groove

The blade surface is treated to a 2B-grade finish, ensuring a controlled roughness average (RA) that prevents "early drop" of copper while facilitating smooth mechanical stripping. The bottom of the blade features a precision-machined V-groove to ensure clean separation of the two copper sheets.

 

Robotic Laser Welding Technology

  • Precision: High-penetration robotic laser welding ensures a metallurgical bond between the blade and the beam.
  • Low Heat Distortion: Minimizes plate warping, ensuring perfect verticality in the electrolytic cell.
  • Consistency: Eliminates the variability of manual welding, extending the plate's lifespan to 15 years.

 

High-Performance Edge Strip System

  • Material: High-molecular-weight extrusion plastic.
  • Durability: Oil, acid, and heat resistant.
  • Fixing: Bonded with industrial adhesive and PVC rods to prevent electrolyte seepage, reducing "copper growth around the edge" issues.

 

 

 

Packing and International Delivery

Packing and International Delivery

To ensure your investment arrives in perfect condition:

  • Protection: Each plate is interleaved with protective film to prevent surface scratches.
  • Reinforcement: Conductive beams are protected with heavy-duty caps; edge strips are secured against impact.
  • Crating: Securely bundled in sea-worthy steel frames or customized wooden crates for long-distance transport.

FAQ

Q1: Why is the 2B-grade surface finish important?

A: The 2B finish provides the ideal surface energy. If the plate is too smooth, the copper might fall off in the cell; if it's too rough, the stripping machine will struggle to remove the copper, damaging the plate.

Q2: Can I use these plates for both Copper ER and EW?

A: Absolutely. While the chemical environment differs slightly, the 316L stainless steel and our edge strip materials are designed to thrive in both electrorefining and electrowinning acid concentrations.

Q3: What is the maximum current density your plates can handle?

A: Our plates are designed and tested to operate efficiently at current densities up to 660 A/m² without overheating the hanger bar or warping the blade.
