Tanks, transfer, rectification, filtration, heating and ventilation designed and integrated as one system — and run by control software written around how your line actually works. We quote the real scope and the real lead time before you commit.
A line is only as good as the weakest station in it. We scope every element against the same part spec, so the rectifier, the filtration loop and the hoist cycle all agree with each other.
Polypropylene, PVC, CPVC, PVDF or lined steel, sized to the load and dwell time each stage needs — with weirs, drains, containment, covers and the rinse strategy built in from the start.
Overhead, side-arm and rail-rider hoists for rack, barrel or basket work. Flight bars, lift heights and index times set by your cycle, with drip management between stations.
DC supplies sized to the surface area at your current density, with bus bar and cabling detailed for the run length. Pulse and periodic-reverse where the finish calls for it.
Turnover rates matched per bath, chemistry-rated wetted paths, carbon polishing where the process needs it, and dosing tied back into line control.
Immersion heating in the sheath your chemistry allows, PID control, redundant over-temp cutoff and low-level protection on every heated tank.
Lip and push-pull extraction, ducting, scrubbing and mist elimination scoped with the line rather than added afterwards.
These are representative station sequences — the kind of plan we work through with you before anything is quoted. Station count, tank volumes, dwell times and rinse strategy all change with your part mix, load size and required thickness.
Both drawings are BAT layouts prepared for illustration. Send us your part, your volume and the finish spec and we'll work up a sequence against your actual numbers.
Our control package ships with the scenarios a finishing line actually hits — multi-hoist scheduling, recipe-per-part routing, hold and re-dip handling, drag-out management, alarm and fault states. The large majority of shops go live on the standard configuration. When your process needs something the standard build doesn't cover, it's written to extend rather than to be replaced, so custom sequences are typically a short development cycle instead of a new system.
Dwell, current, temperature and station route stored per part. Operators select the part, not the settings — the line runs the same way on every shift.
Single or multiple hoists sequenced against tank availability and minimum/maximum dwell, so parts don't sit in a bath longer than the process allows.
Temperature, level, rectifier output and cycle state visible on the HMI, with trends kept for the stations you care about.
Over-temp, low level, hoist fault and rectifier fault surfaced with the station and the cause — not a generic code the operator has to guess at.
Operator, supervisor and engineering levels so recipe values can't be changed on the floor by accident.
Cycle and fault history exportable for traceability, and available to your systems where a quality standard or a customer audit requires it.
Tell us the sequences and interlocks your process depends on and we'll confirm what is standard, what is configuration, and what needs development — in writing, before you order.

Your part, volume per hour or per shift, finish spec and floor space. This is where a line is actually decided — everything downstream follows from it.
We work up the station sequence, tank sizes and cycle time, and lay it against the space you have. You see the plan before you see a number.
Scope, price and an honest build schedule in writing. If a long-lead item drives the date, we say which one and why.
Tanks, transfer, power, filtration and controls built and brought together as one system, with the control software configured to your recipes.
Set, connected, wet-tested and tuned on your floor, with your operators trained on the recipes they'll actually run.
The same people who scoped the line answer the phone afterwards — plus the consumables and wear parts it needs from then on.
Answer what you know — part, volume and finish are enough to start. Attach a part drawing or a sketch of your floor space and we'll work from that. A person who knows plating reads every request.
