Plating

Plating lines pump chromic and sulfuric baths, pickling acids, rinses, and filtration loops that eat seals. The usual fix is sealless: magnetic drive and vertical pumps with the wet end in (or next to) the tank, plus drum pumps for concentrates. Over 62,000 items. The industry landing is Metal Finishing and Plating.

What finishing shops buy here

• Bath circulation and filtration: Finish Thompson DB and KC sealless mag drive centrifugals, plus VKC and MSVKC vertical mag drive.

• In-tank and sump duty: Finish Thompson AV vertical metallic centrifugals (and AK cantilevered) that run with the wet end submerged and no seal to fail.

• Drum and tote transfer: Finish Thompson SF, PF, and EF sealless drum pumps.

• Compact mag drive: March MDX and Iwaki MX / MX-F magnetic drive chemical transfer pumps.

Pickling is split out as Metal Pickling. Broader finishing transfer is Surface Treatment. Acid duty also lives under Acids. Match the wetted path to the bath, then request a quote if the chemistry is not on the series page.
