gold plating production line

gold plating production line

A gold plating production line is a specialized surface treatment system that deposits a gold layer on metal (such as copper or silver) or non-metal (such as PCB substrates) workpieces through electrolytic or chemical deposition. Utilizing gold’s excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding corrosion resistance, and premium decorative appearance, the system enhances both the functionality and value of components. It is widely used in the electronics, jewelry, aerospace, and precision instrument industries—ideal for electronic connectors, chip leads, jewelry, and satellite components that demand superior performance and aesthetics.

product details

Core Structure:

The gold plating production line consists of five main systems:
Pre-treatment System – The foundation of the process, ensuring clean and stable substrates through:
Degreasing to remove oils and surface contaminants,Pickling to eliminate oxides, and Pre-plating (such as nickel underplating) to enhance gold adhesion and prevent peeling.
Electrolytic System – The core of the line, including:
Corrosion-resistant plating tanks made of PP or PVDF, filled with either cyanide-based or cyanide-free gold electrolytes (the latter being more environmentally friendly),Insoluble titanium mesh anodes to prevent electrolyte contamination, and A low-voltage, high-precision DC power supply (1–5V output) for uniform and controlled gold deposition.
Post-treatment System – Ensures coating quality and protection through:
Multi-stage rinsing to remove residual electrolyte and prevent gold corrosion,Drying at ambient or low temperature to preserve luster, and Thickness inspection using precision gauges with ±0.1 μm accuracy.
Conveying System – Employs precision racks or conveyor belts to ensure smooth and orderly transfer of small workpieces through each stage.
Control System – Operated via PLC and touchscreen interface, enabling real-time monitoring of electrolyte temperature (25–40°C), pH value (±0.2), and deposition time to maintain precise process parameters.

Key Advantages:
The gold layer offers superior electrical conductivity, ideal for high-frequency electronic components; excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis, suitable for harsh environments; and premium decorative and intrinsic value as a noble metal. With precisely controlled thickness (0.1–5 μm) balancing performance and cost, the gold plating production line is a key piece of equipment in high-end manufacturing for both functional enhancement and aesthetic excellence.
