Surface treatment and electroplating are the “cosmetic specialists” of manufacturing—imparting corrosion resistance, wear resistance, decorative and functional surfaces to metal and plastic components. From zinc-nickel alloy plating of automotive parts, electroless nickel/gold plating of electronic connectors, hard anodizing of aerospace aluminum alloys, cathodic electrophoretic coating of car bodies, to phosphating and passivation of fasteners—every process step relies on the precise delivery and circulation of chemical agents. These processes share three major challenges: extreme corrosion from strong acids and alkalis (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide); precise ppm-level replenishment of brighteners and additives; and complex operating conditions involving high temperatures, solid particles, and entrained bubbles. The following analyzes the core pain points and JONSN solutions.
▼ Industry Pain Points
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
▎Plating Bath Circulation — Triple Wear from Strong Acids, High Temperature, and Solid Precipitates
Nickel/chromium/zinc plating baths contain highly corrosive media such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nickel sulfate, and copper sulfate at 40–60°C, carrying solid particles like anode sludge and additive decomposition products. Conventional centrifugal pump seals swell and deform in acidic media, achieving a service life of only 3–6 months; the metal isolation shells of ordinary magnetic drive pumps gradually thin and crack when penetrated by acidic liquids. Pump failure directly halts bath circulation, resulting in uneven bath temperature and inconsistent coating thickness.
▎Electroless Plating Replenishment — Metal Ion Concentration Decay; Replenishment Deviation Causes Uncontrolled Plating Rate
In processes such as electroless nickel plating, electroless copper plating, and immersion gold, metal ions are continuously consumed as the coating is deposited. Replenishment solutions are typically injected online as concentrates at flow rates of 10–500 ml/min. Conventional metering pumps suffer cavitation in acidic concentrates, causing actual replenishment deviations exceeding ±5%. Insufficient replenishment reduces plating rates by 20%–30%, while over-replenishment wastes expensive metal salts (nickel sulfate ¥60–80/kg, chloroauric acid ¥400+/g).
▎Anodizing — Sulfuric Acid Bath Circulation + Organic Acid Sealing Agent Injection Requires Enhanced Resistance
Hard anodizing uses 15%–20% sulfuric acid solution at operating temperatures of −5°C to 5°C (hard anodizing) or 20°C (conventional anodizing). Sulfuric acid viscosity increases at low temperatures and is extremely corrosive to ordinary metal pump bodies. Sealing treatment also requires precise injection of organic acid/organic acid salt sealing agents. Insufficient pump corrosion resistance leads to metal ion dissolution contaminating the bath, affecting oxide film transparency and hardness.
▎Electrophoretic Paint Delivery — High Viscosity, Prone to Settling. No Entrained Bubbles Allowed
Cathodic/anodic electrophoretic paint has viscosities as high as 1,000–3,000 mPa·s, containing epoxy resins, polyurethanes, and pigment fillers, prone to sedimentation and stratification. The system requires continuous circulation to prevent sedimentation and maintain uniform concentration. Conventional progressive cavity pump stators swell from paint solvents (xylene, ketones), and screw agitation generates entrained bubbles causing coating defects (pinholes/craters). A single automotive body coating line shutdown due to electrophoretic paint delivery pump failure results in losses of tens of thousands of yuan per hour.
▎Phosphating and Passivation — Acid-Alkali Cycling, Sediment Control, Temperature Sensitivity
Zinc-based/aluminum-based phosphating processes involve multiple acid-alkali treatment steps: degreasing → rinsing → surface conditioning → phosphating → passivation → sealing. Each step's chemical agents require precise metered addition, and phosphating solutions containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and Zn/Ni/Mn basic phosphates readily produce precipitates. Ordinary stainless steel pumps suffer crevice corrosion in mixed nitric-phosphoric acid systems, resulting in short service life. With phosphating solution temperature controlled at 35–55°C, pump operational stability directly affects phosphate coating weight and corrosion performance.
▎Pickling — Extreme Corrosion from Concentrated HCl/H₂SO₄/HNO₃ + HF Mixed Acids
The chemical agents used in metal pretreatment pickling processes are extremely aggressive: hydrochloric acid (30%–37%) for rust removal, sulfuric acid (98%) for oil removal, nitric acid + hydrofluoric acid mixed acids for scale removal/polishing. Ordinary metal pump bodies suffer pitting + stress corrosion cracking in concentrated hydrochloric acid, potentially lasting only 2–4 months. Pickling pump failure stops the entire pretreatment line, bringing all downstream plating/coating to a halt.
▎Brightener Replenishment — ppm-Level Accuracy Directly Determines Coating Gloss and Cost
Electroplating brighteners (compositions: thiourea, alkyne amines, alkyne ethers, surfactants) exist in the plating bath at ppm-level concentrations with consumption rates of 50–300 ml/kAh. Conventional timed replenishment relies on ampere-hour empirical estimation, with actual replenishment deviations potentially reaching ±20%–30%. Under-replenishment leads to dull, rough coatings with degraded gloss; over-replenishment wastes expensive chemicals (brighteners ¥80–200/kg), and excess decomposition products accumulate and contaminate the bath, shortening bath life.

▸ Full Corrosion Protection — From Hydrochloric Acid to Mixed Acids, One Pump Handles the Entire Plating Line
The chemical agents used in the surface treatment industry are among the most aggressive in industrial applications: hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and mixed acid systems. Ordinary metal pumps need replacement every 3–6 months. JONSN provides 316L/Hastelloy C-276/Titanium three-tier corrosion protection with a design life exceeding 20,000 hours—one pump accompanying the entire plating line through its long-cycle operation.
▸ Intelligent Brightener Replenishment — Ah-Linked Control Saves 15%–20% on Chemicals, Brighter Coatings
Brighteners constitute a significant portion of electroplating costs and directly determine product appearance grade. MPG microliter-level metering + Ah-linked control compresses replenishment deviation from the ±20%–30% of conventional timed methods to <±5%, saving 15%–20% on annual brightener costs while eliminating dull and rough coatings caused by insufficient replenishment.
▸ Zero-Bubble Electrophoretic Paint Delivery — DP Low Shear Delivers Defect-Free Coatings
Automotive body electrophoretic paint coating quality directly determines the vehicle's corrosion resistance lifetime. The DP Series low-shear design fundamentally eliminates bubble entrainment caused by progressive cavity pump agitation—coatings are free of pinholes and craters, with salt spray test life improved by 20%–30%.
▸ Electroless Plating Replenishment from “Empirical Estimation” to “Online Precision”—Saving Tens of Thousands in Metal Salt Costs Annually
Electroless nickel/copper/gold metal salts are expensive, with chloroauric acid reaching over ¥400/g. MPG + photoelectric online feedback controls replenishment deviation within ±1%, neither wasting precious metals nor causing plating rate decline and production loss from insufficient replenishment.
▸ Magnetic Seal Zero Leakage — Fundamentally Eliminates Acid/Alkali Injury and Environmental Incidents
Pickling, plating, and anodizing processes in electroplating workshops involve large quantities of concentrated acids, toxic chemicals, and flammable solvents. The significance of JONSN's full-series magnetic drive without dynamic seals extends beyond saving seal replacement costs—it fundamentally eliminates potential risks of personal injury and environmental incidents at the design source.
▸ Plating Bath Circulation — Large Tooth Clearance + Nitrided Hardened Gears, Anode Sludge No Longer a Problem
