Abstract:
A process for removing galvanic electrolytic residues from a galvanically reinforced fiber structure frame, produced through chemical metallization of a textile substrate based on fleeces or felts made of synthetic fibers and subjected to galvanic reinforcement of the metallized textile substrate in a galvanic bath containing a galvanic electrolyte, said process comprising the steps of:removing by suctioning the galvanic electrolyte residues from the fiber structure frame; subjecting the fiber structure frame to a wash liquid in a wash station; and removing the wash liquid by suction from the fiber structure frame; wherein the step of removing galvanic electrolytic residues includes transporting the fiber structure frame into a suction station having at least one suction device with a suction port and inserting a porous supporting device between the suction port and a main area of the fibre structure frame; and suctioning the galvanic electrolyte residues through the supporting device.
