Tubular Tech-CELL

Summary

Product identification

The Tubular TechCELL anode cell is designed to optimize the electrocoating process. It is widely accepted as an industry standard.

Product Function

Anolyte cells serve as an opposing anode for the part being painted, and also act as an acid removal device. They are equipped with a robust anionic membrane that attracts excess acid in the paint bath, removing it from the solution through membrane filtration.

Product Line Nomenclature

The TechCELL naming convention describes various product configurations:

TechCELL [Model & Size]-[Effective Length (Inches or mm)]-[Overall Length (Inches or mm)]-[Material]-[Material Type]-[EXTRA Designation]

Key elements of the naming convention include:

• Model & Size:
  • T: Open Top Style
  • TCX: Closed Top Cell - Union style
  • TCC: Closed Top Cell - Quick Clamp style
  • 150: 1.5" Anode nominal (1.9" OD)
  • 200: 2.0" Anode nominal (2.4" OD)
  • G: Optional Guard (e.g., T200G)
  • FL: Flanged Floor designation (e.g., T200FL for a FLOOR CELL)
  • RF: Flanged Roof designation (e.g., T150RF for a ROOF CELL)
  • FBA: Flanged Bare Floor designation (e.g., FBA150 for a BARE FLOOR)
• Effective Length: Refers to the membrane and anode length, specified in inches or millimeters.
• Overall Length: The total length of the unit, specified in inches or millimeters.
• Anode Material:
  • s10, s40, s80: Designate Anode Thickness.
  • 316 Stainless Steel
  • IrO: Iridium Oxide Titanium
  • RuO: Ruthenium Oxide
• Anode Construction Type:
  • WD: Welded
  • SMLS: Seamless
• EXTRA Designation: Used for specific Floor & Roof models, such as Verticle Rise.

Performance Characteristics

Tubular (round) anodes provide a greater range of electrical "throw angles" compared to flat cells. This can significantly improve coating quality and coverage in hard-to-reach areas of the part and allows the anode to initiate painting sooner in monorail systems.
