Our system boasts an intelligent and intuitive design that sets it apart in the market. Equipped with a powerful new processor, it adapts to your specific needs with customizable software options.
Innovative and User-Friendly Electroforming Solutions
PASU
Pheenix Automatic Silvering Unit
Compact and Flexible Silvering Solution
Experience efficiency and precision with our Silvering Unit, offering a compact design, adjustable rotation speed, and four automatic nozzles for consistent application of a thin silver layer to the source vinyl (lacquer) disk before nickel plating. This crucial step provides a solid metal substrate for the subsequent nickel layer, forming the final stampers. Choose between a two or three chemical setup for versatility.
FEATURES
-
Rigid design in stainless steel and polypropylene
-
Adjustable rotation speed up to 120 RPM on the cleaning station
-
Rotation speed 45 RPM on the silver spray unit
-
Automatic spraying sequence with four nozzles
-
Hand-controlled spray faucet
-
Overspill collection
-
Exhaust ready
-
Silver unit can be positioned on either right or left side of the cleaning bench
PPPU
Our pre-plating unit applies a thin nickel base layer over the silver-metalized lacquer disk before electroplating the final full-thickness nickel layer that forms the "father" stamper. With four positions it offers efficient start in the stamper production process, allowing you to load up to four masters into the machine. Each one can be started and stopped individually, thanks to separate controls at each position.
The machine is also equipped with an advanced PLC control system and a modern user interface. The controller is designed with network connectivity for remote service updates and error diagnostics, seamlessly integrating into Industry 4.0.
This intermediate plating step, performed at lower current and heat, is regarded as a crucial one that ensures higher quality and less defects in the final product.

Streamlined and Responsible Stamper Production
Our passivation, cleaning, and drying unit is not just a robust machine, it's your reliable partner in the stamper production process. Engineered with user-friendliness in mind, it removes lacquer residues from the "father" stamper and clean the "mother" stamper, which is then dried using a spin dryer, allowing you to preserve it for further stamper production.
For creating stamper families, you need to passivate first the "father" and then also the "mother" stampers. This machine employs anodic passivation, a more environmentally friendly alternative to dichromate passivation that uses chemicals harmful to the environment.
FEATURES
-
Rigid design in stainless steel, polypropylene and titanium
-
Integrated pump and filtration
-
Exhaust ready
-
Integrated temperature control
-
Anodic passivation and cathodic cleaning for both nickel and DMM
-
Zink with foot-controlled spray faucet
-
Adjustable rotation speed up to 120 RPM
-
Overspill collection
