Surface Treatment Automatic Plating Line Climbing Drawer Zinc Plating Equipment

Automatic Cimbing Zinc Plating equipment

Product Overview

The automatic climbing drawer zinc plating equipment is developed for zinc plating applications where metal components need to be transferred through multiple treatment stages with controlled movement. Instead of relying on manual handling between individual tanks, the climbing drawer mechanism performs the lifting and horizontal transfer of workpieces according to the programmed sequence.

This configuration is particularly suitable for production involving repeated batches of small and medium-sized metal parts. The drawer-type carrier provides a practical way to load, transfer and unload workpieces while keeping the plating process organized.

The equipment layout can be designed around the customer's workpiece dimensions, batch size, process requirements and available workshop space.

Typical Applications

The equipment can be configured for zinc plating applications involving:

• Metal hardware components

• Fasteners and small mechanical parts

• Automotive metal components

• General industrial parts

• Customized metal products requiring zinc surface protection

The actual application depends on the workpiece material, dimensions, loading method and required zinc coating process.

1. This kind of plating line is suitable for the production of a single but large output of electroplating.
2. The operation is simple and the output is big, the fastest cycle time can reach 30 second /Rack.
3.Good quality and cheap price.

Working Principle

After the workpieces are loaded into the drawer, the automatic transfer system moves the drawer to each processing position in a preset sequence. The drawer can be lifted and transferred between tanks, allowing the workpieces to complete the required pretreatment, zinc plating, rinsing and post-treatment operations.

The transfer position and processing time are coordinated through the control system. Once one stage is completed, the drawer is moved to the next position without requiring operators to manually relocate the workpieces between tanks.

The movement sequence can be configured according to the actual plating process and production requirements.

Quality Control Pre-Shipment Inspection

Before shipment, the complete transfer system is checked under operating conditions. Particular attention is given to drawer positioning, lifting movement, horizontal travel and the programmed transfer sequence.

The control cabinet and PLC functions are also checked against the approved configuration. Where project conditions allow, the equipment can undergo trial operation before delivery to identify and correct potential movement or control issues in advance.
