Continuously Remove Copper from Your Nickel Bath with the Dummycel lTM

Our new DummycellTM can sit on the bottom of your nickel tank and continuous- ly remove copper while you plate with no nickel co-plate. The DummycellTM will keep your bath to less than 2 ppm copper and you do nothing!

Forget about after-hours maintenance, parts lost to poor quality, expensive additives that are just a band-aid. Give your main rectifier a break. Try the DummycelP for thirty days with no obligation. Call (201) 944-8053 today to find out how.
