Anode Baskets - Process Equipment Solutions

Basic information

Anode Baskets Titanium anode baskets or anode cages are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. They are designed to hold the anodes, which provide a source of metallic ions to be plated, and carry the electric current that drives the electroplating process.

Some titanium manufacturers specialize in custom-designed titanium anode baskets that come in other shapes and sizes.

Reel to reel plating titanium anode baskets

Conforming anode baskets

Spiral titanium anode baskets

Other special application anode baskets

Titanium anode baskets are frequently used in metal plating, electroplating, or chrome plating in the aircraft, military, medical, and marine applications because of titanium anodes’ constant anode-cathode distance all throughout the anodes’ lifetime, unlike other anodes that experience increase in inter-electrode gap over time.
