Patent ID: 8691059

Claim:
A galvanic processing device comprising: a flow container made from a non-conducting material and having an inlet, an outlet and a longitudinal axis, said inlet being in fluid communication with said outlet to allow fluid flow in a flow path through an inner chamber of said flow container; one or more anodes made from a first metal, said anodes being disk-shaped and having circumferential segments aligned at an angle α relative to the plane of the circumference of the anode; one or more cathodes made from a second metal different from said first metal, said cathodes being disk-shaped and having circumferential segments aligned at an angle α relative to the plane of the circumference of the cathode, said cathodes and anodes being alternately placed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said flow container within the inner chamber; and non-conducting spacer rings separating each of said anodes and cathodes from each other, wherein said non-conducting spacer rings are annular in shape and are located adjacent distal ends of said circumferential segments of said anodes and said wherein said anodes and said cathodes lack central apertures.
