Hypermatic System


Automatic Chemical and Metal Delivery System

As the leader in the art and science of mechanical plating and galvanizing, PS&T developed an automatic chemical and metal delivery system for the mechanical plater/galvanizer. By automatically delivering the plating chemicals and metals, the Hypermatic System saves you time and delivers better results. This computer-controlled system is integrated with the PS&T Electronic Run Card.


Key Benefits of the Hypermatic System:

• Utilizes PS&T's Proprietary, Patented HyperFlow Slurry System
• Provides a Smoother Deposit
• Reduces Part-to-Part Variation
• Reduces Labor Content
• Assures Consistency from Run-to-Run
• Reduces Operator Exposure to Chemicals & Metal Dusts

Integrated Software

The Hypermatic System uses an industrial workstation with touchscreen and membrane keypad. This takes input from a 4 x 4 or 4 x 6 digital platform scale with an RS-232 connection and provides up to 16 channels of digital output from a digital output card. The software developed by PS&T controls the pumps, agitators, and valves. Solenoids, agitators, and pumps are controlled by solid state relays (SSRs). The software can use files generated by PS&T's Electronic Run Card, which provides an accurate "recipe" for mechanical plating and/or mechanical galvanizing.

Consistency & Reliability

Because this system operates digitally (not with metering pumps or timers), the deliveries obtained are more consistent and reliable. The computer can run in a fully automatic mode or in a mode requiring operator intervention at each key step to ensure that the parts are correctly prepared for the addition of chemicals and metal slurry.

If required or desired, the computer can also be bypassed and the chemicals can be delivered by manually operating the pumps through control panel switch, with operated solenoids controlling double-diaphragm pumps and solenoids. The system has been developed to provide delivery of up to six liquid products:

Acid
• PS&T Brand Starter Concentrate (or 200-series Starter Chemical)
• 300-Series Coppering Compound
• 400-Series Promoter (1-Part or 2-Part)
• Up to 2 HyperFlow Metal Slurries
System Components:
