Electroplating heaters
Immersion galvanic heaters are used for heating technological baths in tanks and baths adapted for vertical operation, having a modular design. They are used, among others, in processes electroplating, anodizing and etching, where it is required to maintain a stable temperature of the working fluids.
Each heater consists of:
- cover made of quartz, titanium or stainless steel,
- ceramic heating element,
- polypropylene head, which protects the power connections and ensures resistance to chemical fumes and splashes.
Selection of cover material depends on the type of bath: titanium is used for acid baths, quartz for strongly oxidizing, and stainless steel for less aggressive environments. Heaters are mounted vertically, with the heating part immersed in the bath — their design allows easy assembly, disassembly and service.
At the request of the customer heaters can be made with a place for temperature sensor (e.g. thermocouple), which allows for more accurate control of heating processes.
All galvanic heaters are made on individual order, according to the specification provided by the customer.

Types of covers
- Quartz Glass
Our immersion heater consists of a quartz cover, a heating element and a head made of polypropylene resistant to technological baths. The heating element has excellent chemical resistance to all baths (except hydrofluoric and fluoric acid and chrome baths). The quartz mantle can only be destroyed mechanically, not thermally. Quartz glass is resistant to so-called “thermal shock” (sudden changes in temperature).
- Teflon
Galvanic heaters in a Teflon sheath demonstrate resistance to all types of baths. It is the only material suitable for fluorine chromium plating bath and hydrofluoric acid bath. Teflon coating is not resistant to mechanical damage, therefore, even the slightest disruption of its integrity results in damage to the entire surface.
- Steel
Immersion heaters in a steel casing are suitable for acid and alkaline baths. The grade of steel depends on the type of bath (AISI 304, 316Ti). The steel coating is resistant to mechanical damage.
* In any case, there is a marking on the cover, which determines the length of the heating part of the heater.
