Our optional solutions—including advanced systems such as dry filtration modules designed to reduce emissions in chemical and industrial plants—demonstrate OTOMEC’s ongoing commitment to creating safer, more efficient, and more sustainable production environments.  

Custom-Engineered Options for Every Application

OTOMEC optional modules are developed to integrate seamlessly into any of our production lines, allowing each customer to configure the ideal combination of mechanical, chemical, electronic, and environmental features. These optional systems can improve:

  • Process stability and precision
  • Energy efficiency
  • Vapour extraction and air purity
  • Material handling and alignment
  • Automation and line continuity
  • Safety and regulatory compliance

Flexible Solutions for Multiple Industrial Sectors

Because our equipment serves a wide variety of metallurgical and electromechanical industries, our optional systems are suitable for:

  • Surface treatment and plating plants
  • Chemical processing lines
  • High-speed continuous production environments
  • Precision strip and wire manufacturing
  • Industrial coating and finishing operations

Each optional module is engineered to extend the capabilities of our machines, ensuring optimized performance regardless of material type, process speed, or surface finish requirements.

Designed Around Customer Requirements

Every production environment has unique challenges. For this reason, OTOMEC offers:

  • Custom development of new optional modules upon request
  • Integration of specialized environmental or process-control components
  • Solutions engineered specifically for non-standard materials or geometries
  • Upgrades tailored to increase productivity or reduce operational costs

This flexible engineering approach ensures that each customer receives a system perfectly aligned with their production goals.

  • DEMISTER – Dry Vapor Filtration System:
    Filter for separating liquid particles from vapors generated during plating and rinsing processes, through controlled aerodynamic vortex creation. Significantly reduces vapor emissions extracted by chemical/industrial aspiration systems, lower environmental impact, better air quality near the line. Easy maintenance with replaceable filter cartridges, no additional chemical consumption.

  • Water Treatment – Wastewater Treatment Plant:
    Complete system for treating rinse and process wastewater generated by the galvanic process. Includes pH neutralization, heavy metal precipitation, sedimentation and filtration, sludge collection in dedicated containers for environmentally compliant disposal. Enables partial water reuse in secondary rinses (cascade), significant reduction in water consumption and discharge tax.

  • THICKNESS ANALYSIS INSTRUMENTS – Coating Thickness Analysis Laboratory:
    Destructive laboratory instrument for quantitative determination of coating thickness deposited on samples extracted from coil during production. Precise µm measurement via metallography and sample sectioning, project specification compliance certification. Enables statistical quality control (SPC) and batch-by-batch compliance tracking.

PH MEASUREMENT AND REBALANCING – Automatic Chemical Control and Balancing:
Integrated system for continuous pH measurement of plating and rinse tanks, with automatic correction capability of chemical parameters and active component concentration. Multi-point digital sensors, HMI data display, acquired history, programmable alarms for setpoint deviations. Ensures galvanic chemical process consistency, reduces quality rejects due to chemical drift.

CONTINUOUS DIAMETER MEASUREMENT – OTOPSYSTEM Continuous Diameter and Thickness Measurement System:
Optical/mechanical system for continuous measurement of wire diameter and ovality at line entry, diameter and ovality measurement of wire exiting after plating. Real-time coating thickness deposited calculation, machine parameter automatic correction software (line speed, amperage, bath position) to maintain constant deposition thickness according to programmed recipes. Integrated data archive with timestamp, complete product traceability, declared specification compliance.

Industry 4.0 AND DATA EXPORT – Production Integration and MES Software:
Advanced software for real-time production data export and processing from all Otomec lines, with modular customizable interface in various development environments (Node.js, Python, C#, Java) for seamless integration into company MES (Manufacturing Execution System) or cloud platforms. Complete recipe tracking, process parameters, quality data, productivity statistics, alarm history, interactive dashboards. Enables data-driven decisions, maintenance prevention, cycle optimization, and complete regulatory compliance (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GDPR for sensitive data).
