Pipe Electroplating System for Utility-Scale Solar Systems

A new, continuous process system that precisely electroplatesspecialty coatings onto solar thermal power piping to optimize heatabsorption is being introduced by METFAB Technologies, Inc. ofWarwick, Rhode Island.

The METFAB Solar Pipe Electroplating System precisely applies ametallic coating from 10 to 100 micro-inches to the surface ofutility-scale solar thermal power pipe and tube which enhancestheir ability to absorb heat. Developed for companies who designand construct solar power plants, this fully automatic system canoperate at continuous speeds up to 30 FPM.

Suitable for processing tube and pipe from 1" to 3" O.D. and sheetup to 12" wide, the METFAB Solar Pipe Electroplating System canapply specialty metallic coatings onto a wide range of steels andalloys. Engineered and built to customer requirements, this fullyintegrated aqueous process system includes all controls,electronics, hardware, and tanks.

METFAB Solar Pipe Electroplating Systems are priced from$450,000.00 up, according to customer requirements. Literature andprice quotations are available upon request.
