An apparatus for electroplating, particularly in the production of metal matrices for manufacturing articles of plastic, such as compact discs, said apparatus comprising a container (1) having a peripheral wall (2) and opposed first and second end walls so as to form a plating space therein, adapted to house an electrolyte, and an anode (5), a carrier (17) with an electrically conductive surface (7) to be plated forming the cathode and means (13) being arranged between the anode (5) and the cathode for providing a flow of electrolyte from said cathode towards said anode (5). For allowing a faster production of metal matrices with better quality it is suggested according to the invention that the peripheral wall (2) is formed with an internal contour which substantially corresponds to the surface (7) to be plated, said carrier (17) forming the second container end wall which through intermediate current supply members (6, 16) is sealingly urged against the mating edge of the peripheral wall (2), while the anode (5) is located adjacent said first end wall (3) of the container (1). <IMAGE> |
