OPERATION OF HIGH PRODUCTION TINNING LINE WITH TENOVA'S INNOVATIVE INSOLUBLE ANODE TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Tenova, a long time supplier of Electrolytic Tinning Lines, recently put in operation atjiangsu Sunshine in Da-jiang, China a new high productivity electrolytic tinning line with the most advanced Insoluble Anode technology and Low-Sludge Tin Dissolution Process. It is confirmed that the application of Tenova insoluble anode technology minimizes the amount of sludge produced and hence the loss of tin increasing both quality and productivity at the same time. Other benefits are the reduction of man-power for anode handling and therefore increase in safety during operation, improved coating quality, better process con-trol and working environment. The dissolution process is based on the oxidation of metallic tin granules by oxygen injected into the tinning electrolyte flowing in a dissolution reactor. The paper describes the successful operation of the Dajiang Electrolytic Tinning Line, as well as the numerous advantages of this insoluble anode plating system.
