Revolutionizing Metal Finishing: SHANGHAI ROYAL TECHNOLOGY INC. Introduces PVD-Cr1600 Chrome Vacuum Metallizing Machine

Shanghai, China – SHANGHAI ROYAL TECHNOLOGY INC., a leading innovator in vacuum coating equipment, has launched the PVD-Cr1600 Chrome Vacuum Metallizing Machine, a groundbreaking solution designed to replace traditional electroplating processes. This advanced system leverages Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology to deliver high-quality, environmentally friendly chrome finishes for various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and hardware15.

Key Features of the PVD-Cr1600 Machine

The PVD-Cr1600 combines cathodic arc evaporation and magnetron sputtering technologies to create durable, aesthetically pleasing coatings. Key features include:

• Eco-Friendly Process: Unlike traditional hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) electroplating, which poses health and environmental risks, the PVD-Cr1600 uses non-toxic materials like chromium nitride (CrN) and titanium nitride (TiN) to achieve similar results without hazardous waste15.

• Versatility: The machine coats diverse materials, including ABS plastics, brass, zinc alloys, and stainless steel, making it ideal for automotive parts, bathroom fittings, consumer electronics, and packaging industries13.

• High Efficiency: With a cycle time of 20–30 minutes and a capacity of 15 cycles per 8-hour shift, the PVD-CR1600 offers rapid processing without compromising quality13.

• Advanced Technology: Equipped with multi-arc evaporation sources and DC magnetron sputtering cathodes, the system ensures precise coating adhesion and uniformity5.

Industry Applications and Benefits

The PVD-Cr1600 addresses growing demand for sustainable manufacturing practices:

• Automotive Industry: Used for coating interior trims, logos, and wheel rims, providing abrasion resistance and corrosion protection35.

• Consumer Electronics: Enhances the durability and aesthetic appeal of smartphone components, tools, and instruments1.

• Home Appliances: Applied to faucets, plumbing fixtures, and kitchenware to create scratch-resistant surfaces with metallic finishes10.

Market Context and Growth

The global PVD equipment market is projected to reach $25.93 billion by 2026, driven by increased adoption in semiconductors, consumer electronics, and automotive sectors2. SHANGHAI ROYAL TECHNOLOGY INC.’s PVD-Cr1600 aligns with this trend, offering a cost-effective alternative to conventional electroplating while reducing environmental impact16.

Commitment to Sustainability

"Traditional chrome electroplating relies on toxic chemicals that harm operators and pollute ecosystems," said a company representative. "The PVD-Cr1600 eliminates these risks while delivering superior performance and efficiency."1 The system also supports CE certification and complies with international environmental standards1.
