Strip
Plating stripping process
OTOMEC designs and manufactures advanced cleaning and electroplating plants for metallic strip and coils, including high‑efficiency plating stripping process solutions, engineered to achieve high‑precision surface treatments with elevated production speeds and stable process control. The OTO STRIP line is specifically dedicated to the treatment of steel, copper, brass, and aluminium strip, in both vertical and horizontal axis configurations.
Materials Processed
The OTO STRIP systems support full process cycles for:
- Steel strip
- Copper strip
- Brass strip
- Aluminium strip
This versatility makes the line suitable for a wide range of metallurgical and electromechanical applications, including plating stripping process requirements.
Capabilities for plating stripping process
OTO STRIP lines enable multiple surface treatment processes including:
- Tin plating on copper and brass
- Zinc‑nickel plating or copper plating on steel
- Pickling of copper and brass
- Multi‑plating configurations for complex metallurgical requirements
These processes guarantee uniform and controlled deposition across the entire strip width, even at high‑speed production rates, and can be integrated within a complete plating stripping process.
Production Speed
The systems are designed for industrial‑grade productivity, with:
- Line speeds ranging from 10 to 100 meters per minute
Looping and accumulating devices ensure continuous operation and stable tension control during high‑speed processing, including plating stripping process conditions.
Strip Dimensions
OTO STRIP equipment supports a wide dimensional range, including:
- Strip width: 40–400 mm
- Thickness: 0.30–2.00 mm
- Coils internal diameter (ID): 200–500 mm
- Coils external diameter (OD): 600–1200 mm
This allows the system to handle both lightweight and heavy coils, covering the full spectrum of strip‑processing applications.
Mechanical & Automation Features
The line integrates advanced mechanical and automation systems, such as:
- Looping and accumulating devices
- Steering rolls with electronic control for stable strip alignment
- Cutting and welding devices for continuous coil‑to‑coil processing
- Vertical axis plating cells
- Horizontal axis plating cells
These features work together to maintain precise strip guiding, consistent process immersion, and optimized chemical distribution throughout the plating stripping process.
Design Philosophy
OTOMEC’s engineering approach focuses on:
- Compact mechanical layout
- Reduced footprint for easy integration
- High process stability and repeatability
- Customizable configuration based on the user's required finish, metallurgy, and production speed
This ensures the highest quality standards in finishing lines for metallic strip and coil, including advanced plating stripping process integration.
Industrial Applications
The OTO STRIP line is ideal for industries requiring:
- Precision‑plated conductive strip
- Components for electronics and power distribution
- Metallurgical and electromechanical assemblies
- Strip‑based semi‑finished products requiring high surface performance
These applications often require reliable and efficient plating stripping process solutions to ensure optimal surface quality.
