25 foot cored anodes

  • Basket Anode - Custom Made
  • Length 13 feet, 2 inches - 12" inside diameter
  • Comes with 2 copper feed bars 12' x 1" x 3" bonded with 1/2" lead
  • Turn around time for this custom lead hard chrome anode was 5 working days

  • Here is an example of a tricky fabrication - we needed to complete a grid anode to conform to all the angles of the fan.
  • If you need something complex, or easy, no problem, we can do it!

  • Here is an example of some of the variety of the custom pieces that we manufacture - using stainless and lead grids
  • We machined the two stainless steel end caps, then welded the stainless steel nut on one end to hold the piece in place.
  • We then shaped the grid mat to the desired size and burned it together as well as the tabs for the connection

  • These steel boxes are lined with 1/4" lead burned inside for radiation protection comes with 1/2" lid for total interlock protection.
  • All lead boxes are made to our customers requirement and specifications.
  • In this case Hydro required the boxes to be powder coated inside and out.

  • These cast lead boxes, angle plates, and inspection covers are machined with our CNC mill to precise specifications of our customer,.
  • The lead boxes have plus or minus 5 thou tolerances
  • Each box has 16 threaded inserts to attach various pieces
  • The customer requires two boxes one angle plate and to covers for each Digital Cardiac Camera
  • All parts are powder coated by Total In-spec Powder Coating in Milton On.

 

  • 40,000 pounds of tongue and grove lead bricks
  • 4 different thicknesses from 1.2” – 3.6”
  • Extruded to order for different wall locations
  • Each skid marked for location and packaged for workers to start at the bottom row and work up to the top row with
  • All rows in a staggered fashion to create the most stability for the walls
  • This project was one part of a revamp for new equipment in a Hospital in Massachusetts.

  • Custom made anode disks and stainless steel bolts, to hold sample parts in location for plating.

  • These lead grids are rolled or extruded, they will give you a much longer plating life due to the fact of extrusion versus the old porous cast method, as well as consistent thickness throughout.
  • Available in any combination of lead , tin and or antimony.

From raw lead to interlocking pieces to form a half moon, completely powder coated for handling protection. This product is used in a nuclear power plant .
     
500 lbs cast blocks of lead, machined on all sides to tolerance. Powder coated for handling and for safety in water as this part is for a buoy going in the Atlantic Ocean for Canada Centre inland waters.
