Series M / EUROLINE - corrosion resistant and magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps made of stainless steel or non-metallic materials for acids, alkalis and solvents.

Introduction
In modern industry, especially in the electroplating and semiconductor sectors, the use of high-quality pumps plays a pivotal role. Magnet-coupled chemical centrifugal pumps have become a preferred choice due to their reliability and efficiency. In this study, we highlight the advantages and applications of these pumps in both industries.

Background and Process Applications

Electroplating
Electroplating refers to the electrochemical deposition of metals onto a substrate, often for finishing or corrosion protection. In electroplating, pumps are central to the following processes:

Galvanic Baths
To ensure uniform deposition of metal on the substrate, galvanic baths must be constantly circulated. This ensures that the concentration of metal ions in the bath remains homogeneous, preventing the formation of "dead zones" where deposition is uneven.

Wastewater Treatment
After the substrate has been removed from the galvanic bath, the wastewater contains high concentrations of heavy metals and other contaminants. This wastewater is pumped through specialized treatment systems to remove the heavy metals and toxins before being safely disposed of.

Rinsing
After electroplating, substrates are often transferred to rinse baths to remove excess chemicals. Pumps circulate and filter the rinse water to remove impurities.

Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry is responsible for producing microchips used in nearly all electronic devices. Pumps play a pivotal role in the following processes here:

Etching Processes
To create fine structures on a semiconductor wafer, special etchants are needed. These chemicals are safely transported to and from etching equipment by pumps.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
This process uses gases to deposit thin films on the semiconductor wafer. Pumps are used to transport the required chemicals into the CVD chambers and to remove waste products.

Cleaning
After many manufacturing steps, wafers need to be cleaned to remove impurities. Often aggressive chemicals are used, which need to be handled and transported safely.

Advantages of Magnet-Coupled Chemical Centrifugal Pumps
Magnet-coupled pumps are hermetically sealed. This minimizes leakages and ensures safe handling of dangerous and aggressive media, a key factor in semiconductor and electroplating. The magnetic coupling reduces mechanical wear, leading to a longer pump lifespan. Centrifugal pumps are known for their high efficiency and performance, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.

Conclusion
In both electroplating and the semiconductor industry, pumps are essential for safely and efficiently transporting the necessary chemicals, ensuring the quality and safety of the final products. Due to their safety, efficiency, and durability, magnet-coupled chemical centrifugal pumps are the optimal choice for the electroplating and semiconductor sectors. Their application makes processes safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
