Let ETL introduce your company to HydroJet®
Features & Benefits of HydroJet technology
Let us make some direct comparisons of typical sheet metal electroplaters’ Standard Operating Procedure (“SOP”) against ETL’s Ultra High Efficiency HydroJet System. ETL’s technology is based upon the principles of contact plating and liquid lubrication of passing strip through plating cells. In short ETL engineered a system for close proximity plating of flat rolled sheet and/or strip substrate material, in coil form. The following are direct comparisons:
