.... In conventional immersion chambers, fluid is pumped from a sump to a dammed roller conveyor chamber. The solution is typically re‐circulated at a rate of five times the chamber volume per minute through manifolds positioned between conveyor rollers. Transportation is achieved by using roller wheels to avoid...

.../methodology/approach Ten process mechanization strategies were studied and illustrated with emphasis on the new conveyorized vertical plating and traditional horizontal conveyors, with some highlights of reel‐to‐reel chip on flex conveyorized plating equipment. Findings Novel mechanization continues...
