At present, a new production line for the "shooping" process (i.e. the spraying of the zinc layers onto the ends of the capacitor elements) is being installed at the second production floor of ELECTRONICON's main works at 2, Keplerstrasse in Gera/Germany.
The new line is equipped with four robot arms and will be housed completely in a separate chamber for enhanced noise protection. Its installation also required the introduction of two additional dust filters.
Shooping is one of the key processes in the production of capacitors. The installation of this third contact spray line does not only increase the production throughput. It is also essential for quality as well as for flawless and uninterrupted continuation of production even in the event of a disruption of one of the lines.
