DO YOU NEED 12
VOLTS OR 30 VOLTS
The answer is
simple. as low as 6 volts will do a good job of gold plating.
However, 12 volts to
13.8 volts is
probably the most common. We have used 12 volts to 13.8 volts in automotive applications, as
well as Industrial applications for years.
Several suppliers
have started to hawk 30 volt gold plating systems and very inexpensive
gold.
We understand the
reasons.
With 30 volts, you
can drop the amount of gold in the gold plating solution, which lowers the cost
of the supplies to the vendor and increases their profits.
You must understand
that many companies developed their sales models and profit expectations based
on selling gold plating systems for $2,495.
That market has
changed quite a bit. The "street prices" of the $2,495 gold plating
systems have dropped. It is far more common to find them at the $1,395 to $1,595
range.
That is a major loss
of profit for the companies so they are scrambling to reinvent what they sell
and offering a system at 30 volts is one way to do that. It sounds different and
potentially sounds as if you will be able to gold plate a larger piece or to
gold plate faster. That is not the case.
The reality is that
12 volts to 13.8 volts does an excellent job in gold plating and 12 volts to
13.8 volts has done an
excellent job in gold plating for years.
However, if they
were to use a common, and highly durable power supply such as the 30 AMP MOBILE
TYPE Power Supply or the heavier PYRAMID PS35KX
as we do in stationary type operations, they would not be able to charge such high prices.
As a result, going
to a 30 volt and 30 amp system seems to imply that you are getting more for your
money, in reality, you are not. Actually ,you get even less since the 30 volt
system can use a gold plating solution with less gold in it. We have a grade
that will gold plate fine at 30 volts and 30 amps for only $50 for 4 ounces. The
same solution will also gold plate at 6 volts. We prefer to use our BEST GRADE
since it is the overall best value for our customers.
