Cathode Bags for Anodizing Lines – Protection Against Sulphuric Acid Mist

Maximum Workplace Safety in Surface Finishing

In anodizing lines, health protection is a top priority. Our cathode bags (also known as anodizing bags) are an essential part of running modern electroplating and anodizing lines safely. They reliably prevent harmful concentrations of sulphuric acid mist from the electrolyte escaping into the ambient air.

Because these aerosols are respirable, high-quality protection is essential to prevent serious health damage to your employees while meeting statutory occupational health and safety requirements in electroplating.

You'll find further solutions for electroplating technology in our Filtration for Metal & Electronics – Electroplating & Metalworking category.

How It Works and Process Optimisation

Our cathode bag covers are technically optimised to safely vent the hydrogen generated at the cathode while effectively retaining acid droplets.

• Smooth inner surface: Supports controlled venting of gases from the electrolyte.
• Effective droplet retention: The special fabric structure retains the maximum possible amount of acid droplets.
• Safer working environment: Significantly improves air quality right at the process tank.

Custom Fabrication for All Cathode Profiles

We know that every anodizing line is unique. That's why we don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but custom-made cathode bags. Our bag covers fit all common cathode profiles and guarantee easy installation and a long service life thanks to their precise fit.

We also stock high-quality anode bags and cathode bags for maximum process reliability in electroplating to fully protect your entire electrolyte circuit.
