PLANT FOR ELECTROLYTIC-PLASMA POLISHING Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C25F7/00 

FIELD: manufacturing equipment for electrochemical and electro-physical treatment of metallic articles.

SUBSTANCE: plant includes working bath in the form of box; protective casing arranged on top part of bath and lid placed on top of casing and supporting manipulator in the form of mechanism for vertical motion provided with electric current supply from power source and with drive unit having control device for tracking speed of article immersion; heaters; cartridge; unit for electrolyte draining and discharging its evaporated products having air suction unit; electrolyte temperature averaging controller coupled with working bath; and in addition unit for feeding electrolyte activating agents arranged along wide side of working bath; heat exchanger having cooling degree registering device and also arranged along wide side of working bath. Heaters are arranged under bottom of working bath. Electrolyte draining unit is in the form of draining cock mounted in bottom of bath with self-draining of electrolyte from working bath. Unit for discharging evaporated products of electrolyte includes air suction device formed by upper portion of casing and having inside dome-like shape and exhaust pump arranged over upper portion of casing.

EFFECT: simplified design of plant, lowered consumption of electrolyte, shortened cycle for working articles, improved condition for performing electrolyte-plasma polishing of articles.
