APPARATUS FOR ELECTROPLATING OR CHEMICALLY TREATING METALLIC PARTS

摘要

An apparatus is described for electroplating metal parts that pass through a number of stations in a horizontal direction. These stations are made up of a large number of liquid basins. There is a circulating conveyor belt or chain in each liquid basin. This incorporates means to pick up, hold, and move the parts beneath the surface of the liquid. At the entrance and exit of each liquid basin the conveyor belt or chain is guided to a transfer point above the separator wall between two liquid basins that follow each other in the direction of movement of the conveyor system, the transfer of the parts being effected from one liquid basin to the next liquid basin in the direction of movement of the conveyor system.
