REPUBLIC ROUND RIBBED AND RIPPLE LEAD ANODES
When plating demands require
anodes with greater surface area, Republic's ribbed or ripple anodes are the answer. Both types of anode increase surface area by providing more throwing edges for the electrical
current. The ribbed anode has approximately 40 throwing edges and provides approximately 45% more surface area than a smooth anode. The ripple anode provides approximately 9% more
surface area than a smooth anode and requires considerably less maintenance or cleaning than the ribbed anode.
Republic ribbed or ripple anodes are available in 1.5" and
2" diameter and in two styles - solid and hollow. Our wall thickness’ are greater than other makes of hollow anodes thus providing more lead and a longer service life. The
hollow anodes can also be quoted with copper or steel cores.
In addition to all this, round ribbed or ripple anodes can be furnished at considerable savings over smooth
anodes. The result? Higher plating efficiency with greater speed and reduced current requirements
