Definitions
- Embodiments of the claimed invention relate to electropolishing and electroplating, and in particular, systems and methods for electropolishing or electroplating localized areas of continuous assemblies of interconnected components, such as conveyor belts.
- Conveyor belt systems are used in various industrial fields for material handling and processing purposes. For instance, conveyor systems are used within food processing systems in which food items are placed on the support surface of a conveyor belt and processed, while being conveyed from one location to another.
- Various types of conveyor belts exist, including modular conveyor belts, which are especially popular in food processing systems.
- conveyor systems are often used in a helical accumulator such as that disclose in U.S. Pat. No. 5,070,999 to Layne et al. which allows storage of a large number of items in the conveyor system.
- conveyor belts are sanitary. To accomplish this, conveyor belts are conventionally wiped down, washed, and/or steamed on a regular basis. However, conveyor belts are often very long, extending hundreds or even thousands of feet. In these cases, the belts can be difficult to clean and may become less durable over time due to the thorough process needed to maintain their sanitation.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,895,633 to Seto et al. discloses a conventional molten salt electroplating apparatus for forming plating on steel strips, sheets, and wires.
- a steel strip is continuously unwound from a pay-off reel, passed through a looper, and sent to a pretreatment apparatus.
- the surface of the steel strip is plated as it passes between electrodes immersed in electroplating solution.
- the steel strip is then washed and dried, passed through a looper and a shearing machine, then wound onto a tension reel.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,491,036 to Carey, II et al. generally discloses an electrolysis process for applying a tin coating of carbon steel.
- one aspect of the present invention provides a continuous electropolishmg and/or electroplating process for localized areas of metal conveyor belts.
- This process provides benefits such as improved sanitation, improved product release characteristics, brighter cosmetic appearance, removal of weld discoloration, and reduced wear and friction, which are particularly important for conveyor belts used in food processing.
- embodiments of the present invention pass the product through a housing supplied with a continuous directional flow of electrolyte.
- the electroplating or electropolishmg can be targeted to specific areas of the product, such as the edges of a conveyor belt, and straight products can pass through the housing without deformation (i.e., because guiding by rollers into and out of a bath is not required).
- fresh electrolyte can be concentrated at the polishing site, without solution in a bath of used electrolyte, for more effective electropolishing or electroplating.
- Belts can be separated into smaller sections, typically 50 to 100 feet long, for ease of handling and shipping. These sections may be connected sequentially, such that the leading end of a new roll of belt is connected to the trailing end of the previous roll of belt, to maintain a continuous process. These sections can be disconnected and placed on separate take-up rolls after processing. Leader chains may also be used to guide the ends of the belt into and out of the bath while maintaining tension. Materials used in the process, such as the plate material and electrolyte material, may be of any suitable type such as are currently used or may be developed for electropolishing and electroplating.
- a system for electropolishing or electroplating a conveyor belt comprises a housing comprising an electrical conductor and an opening configured to receive a portion of the conveyor belt in the opening; a seal provided in the opening; an inlet configured to supply electrolytic solution to the housing; and an electrical contact configured to apply current to the conveyor belt.
- a method for electropolishing or electroplating a conveyor belt comprises guiding a portion of the conveyor belt through a housing comprising an electrical conductor and a seal; applying current to the conveyor belt with an electrical contact; and supplying an electrolytic solution to the housing through an inlet, thereby electroplating or electropolishing the portion of the conveyor belt.

- a separate orifice is provided for the electrolyte outflow.
- the outflow orifice may be arranged in an upward direction to facilitate removal of gases produced during the electropolishing or electroplating process.
- Orifices are sized to restrict outflow, and housings 115A and 115B are provided with seals 140A and 140B, respectively, so that the housings 115A and 115B are flooded to a level that provides effective electropolishing or electroplating.
- Seals 140A and 140B need not stop liquid flow altogether, but rather restrict it enough to cause flooding of the housing.
