Anode Bag Plate-Tex Classic for Electroplating – 15 µm PP Filter Bag (Laser-Welded)

Process-Safe Electrolyte Filtration for Electroplating & PCB Manufacturing

The WINKLER Anode Bag Plate-Tex Classic is the proven standard for stable bath quality in electroplating. It reliably retains anode sludge and particles while maintaining a steady ion flow – for uniform coating thickness, less scrap and reproducible surface finishes.

Whether for series production or demanding precision applications, Plate-Tex Classic has been proven in millions of industrial applications and is engineered to withstand high chemical and mechanical loads in the plating bath.

Typical Applications

The Plate-Tex Classic is suited to any process where anode fines need to be reliably retained without "throttling" the process:

• Electroplating lines (e.g. nickel, copper, zinc plating – depending on electrolyte)
• PCB manufacturing / surface finishing (high particle-purity requirements)
• Anode baskets, plate anodes and billet anodes
• Industrial and laboratory applications with sensitive plating baths

The Plate-Tex Classic is the all-rounder in our anode bags and accessories range. It offers reliable protection against bath contamination throughout metal and electronics manufacturing and is optimised for a wide range of standard applications.

Why Use an Anode Bag? Cleaner Electrolyte = Better Finish

Fine sludge is inevitably produced as the anode dissolves. If it reaches the electrolyte, it can cause roughness, inclusions and coating defects. The Plate-Tex Classic forms a particle-tight barrier with a 15 µm micron rating – for stable processes and longer bath life.

Construction & Manufacturing: The Details That Extend Service Life

The Plate-Tex Classic is manufactured in Germany and engineered to keep filtering reliably over the long term – even under bath agitation, temperature swings and chemical stress:

• Laser-welded seams: 100% sealed, no fraying, no seam holes – significantly lower particle risk.
• Washed & thermofixed: Removes residues from fabric production and reduces bath contamination from the outset.
• Chemical-resistant PP staple yarn: Robust polypropylene suited to most common plating electrolytes.
• High mechanical strength: High tear resistance for long service life in daily operation.

Your Benefits for B2B Use

Plate-Tex Classic is the economical standard solution where process reliability needs to be predictable – delivering clean filtration and stable coating quality:

• Consistent bath quality: Reliable retention of anode sludge and particles.
• Reproducible plating: Uniform surfaces and fewer process disruptions.
• Long service life: 320 g/m² fabric weight for robust, durable filter bags.
• Efficient ion flow: Optimal air and ion permeability – no unnecessary process bottleneck.
• Custom sizing available: Made to fit anode baskets, plate or billet anodes.
• Made in Germany: Manufacturing quality built for industrial demands.
