Our components are resistant to the most common electroplating chemicals, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, chromic acid, caustic soda, cyanides, and many other etching and electrolyte solutions.
Rugged exhaust ventilation systems for electroplating and surface treatment
Acid- and alkali-resistant ventilation systems for extreme process conditions
Electroplating plants and surface treatment facilities are among the most demanding environments for exhaust air systems: Aggressive acids, hot alkalis, etching media, and corrosive aerosols severely corrode conventional metal pipe systems. Beck components made of PPs and PPs-el offer you long-lasting durability even under extreme conditions, flow-optimized extraction along long pickling and electroplating lines, as well as ATEX-compliant solutions for potentially explosive areas.
Contact usMaximum resistance in harsh environments
Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and etching agents.
In electroplating, aggressive vapors are generated from sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, fluorochemicals, or cyanides; PPs/PPs-el remains permanently stable in these environments, whereas metal pipes would corrode rapidly. Even with continuous exposure to hot, concentrated media, our components retain their structural integrity.
High resistance to high temperatures and condensation in wet absorbers and exhaust systems
Electroplating exhaust air is warm, humid, and highly chemically reactive; Beck molded parts reliably withstand this combination even during continuous operation. Their resistance to condensation prevents material degradation and ensures long-term leak-tightness.
Efficiency and Safety for harsh industrial environments
Flow-optimized bends for reduced pressure losses in long pickling or electroplating
lines. Large lines with many outlets benefit from seamless bends and low pressure losses → smaller fans, lower energy consumption, and consistent extraction performance along the entire line. This is particularly important in systems with many extraction points spread over long distances.
Electrostatically conductive variants (PPs-el) for areas at risk of explosions
and sparks In electroplating areas, aerosols, mists, and sometimes flammable atmospheres are generated; conductive Beck molded parts prevent static buildup and are ATEX-compliant. This provides additional safety in critical production areas.
Robust, easy-to-repair, and durable solution for harsh industrial environments
Humid, chemically contaminated shop air and mechanical stress from cranes or material carriers are typical problems—Beck plastics are lightweight, durable, and quick to replace. Functionality is maintained even with occasional mechanical impacts.
More information on Beck molded parts in electroplating
Can Beck systems withstand hot steam?
Yes, our materials are resistant to both high temperatures and condensation, and can withstand hot, humid vapors from pickling or electroplating baths over the long term.
Are the systems certified for ATEX zones?
Yes, our electrically conductive PPs-el version is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and prevents electrostatic charges that could act as ignition sources.
How long do Beck components last in electroplating environments?
When the right materials are selected, Beck components can last for several decades, whereas metal pipe systems often corrode after just a few years under the same conditions.
Can individual sections be replaced later?
Yes, the modular system design allows for the easy replacement of individual components without major modifications. This minimizes downtime and costs.
How efficient are Beck systems in long electroplating lines?
The flow-optimized bends significantly reduce pressure losses, which leads to significantly lower energy costs, especially in long lines with many extraction points. The extraction capacity remains stable throughout the entire line.
