The Mars Electroplating Unit is a professional 5-litre system designed for gold, jewelry, and jewelry-accessory production workshops with medium production volumes. Four 5-litre plating tanks, together with four separate rinse tanks, allow several stages of the electroplating process to be organized within a single workstation. A cathode movement system is provided for all four plating tanks, helping maintain regular workpiece movement in the plating bath and providing better control over deposition conditions. Two of the tanks are equipped with temperature control systems and liquid-level sensors. Plating voltage and process time can also be adjusted through the unit’s control panel. Together with these features, a one-year warranty, five years of technical support, installation and commissioning, and personnel training make the Mars a more complete solution for production workshops.
As production volume increases, managing multiple separate beakers and scattered equipment can make the electroplating process more difficult.
The Mars unit is designed for workshops that have moved beyond limited-scale production and require larger tanks, a more organized rinsing process, temperature control, and cathode movement, but do not yet need a large industrial electroplating line.
Four 5-litre plating tanks and four 2.5-litre rinse tanks allow the different stages of the process to be arranged together in one organized system for the operator.
Controlled movement of the workpiece within the plating bath is one of the factors that can help refresh the solution close to the workpiece surface and promote more uniform process conditions.
In the Mars unit, a cathode movement system is provided for all four main plating tanks. This feature is particularly important for workshops where surface appearance and repeatability across different workpieces are important.
Appropriate movement parameters, voltage, process time, and temperature must be selected according to the plating solution and process being used.
Not all electroplating solutions operate at the same temperature. Some plating baths require temperature control in order to achieve the intended process performance.
In the Mars unit, two of the four plating tanks are equipped with temperature control systems. This configuration allows the workshop to place plating baths that require greater thermal control in these tanks while managing other process stages in the remaining tanks.
Two tanks are also equipped with liquid-level sensors, allowing better monitoring of the solution level.
Carryover of solution from one process stage to the next can cause cross-contamination between baths and increase chemical consumption.
The four 2.5-litre rinse tanks in the Mars unit allow the operator to arrange rinsing stages more systematically alongside the main plating baths and reduce unintended transfer of chemicals between process stages.
For production workshops that electroplate multiple workpieces throughout the day, this level of process organization becomes increasingly important.
The Mars system is designed for common gold and jewelry electroplating processes, including gold, silver, rhodium, nickel, and copper plating.
The actual bath configuration should be determined according to the production process of each workshop. Factors such as the base metal, degreasing stage, intermediate layers, and final coating all affect the required number and sequence of process baths.
For this reason, Zarfan can provide consultation before commissioning to help determine a suitable tank arrangement and the process stages required for your workshop.
The Mars is designed for manufacturers whose workload has exceeded the capacity of a benchtop electroplating unit and who require a more organized system with a 5-litre capacity.
If your workshop space is limited and your production volume is low, the Uranus may be a simpler option.
If higher production volumes, 15-litre tanks, and independent control of multiple plating lines are priorities for your operation, the Keyhan unit is designed for a larger production scale.
The Mars Electroplating Unit is supplied with the following services:
These services are particularly important for production workshops because selecting the equipment is only one part of establishing a successful electroplating line. Correct process setup, equipment maintenance, and rapid access to technical support also affect day-to-day operation.
The Mars has four 5-litre plating tanks and four 2.5-litre rinse tanks.
All four main plating tanks are equipped with a cathode movement system.
Temperature control is provided for two of the four main plating tanks.
Yes. The operator can adjust the plating voltage and process time through the unit’s control panel.
The unit is designed for gold and jewelry workshops with medium production volumes.
The Uranus is a compact benchtop electroplating unit designed for small workshops. The Mars provides greater capacity, separate rinse tanks, cathode movement, and additional process-control features.
If a 5-litre capacity is not sufficient for your production requirements, or if you require 15-litre tanks and three independent rectifiers, the Keyhan is designed for a higher level of production.
The type of jewelry you produce, your daily production volume, and the solutions you use determine which equipment and process configuration are best suited to your workshop.
