Made in America · Low-Ripple DC Rectifiers · High-Speed Pulse Rectifiers

Low-ripple DC or high-speed pulse, ION rectifiers are built to run your line consistently every shift.

When your rectifier is loud, oversized, and impossible to repair fast, every breakdown puts pressure on the whole shop. ION builds two American-made flagship lines for plating and anodizing: best-in-class low-ripple DC rectifiers and high-speed pulse rectifiers. Both install easily, run reliably, and give your operators repeatable results, without changing your process or chemistry.

Both lines share the same modern controls, the same ≤2% ripple performance, and the same corrosion-proof build. Choose DC for the best standard power supply on the market, or pulse for full waveform control.

The Real Cost of a Legacy Rectifier

 

When the rectifier goes down, the problem is not just electrical.

It stops production, delays orders, and creates pressure across the shop. Older, oversized rectifiers quietly cost you in three ways every day.

Rejects and rework

Inconsistent output turns plating into an art that depends on a few key people.

Energy and material waste

SCR-era units burn more power and consume more metal and additives than they should.

Downtime risk

When a unit fails and nobody can service it on-site, a fault becomes a long, expensive outage.

Why the Best Platers Choose ION

 

Rectifiers built on 31 years of shop-floor feedback.

Reliability and consistency are not features to you, they are the difference between hitting an order and missing one. ION rectifiers are designed around what finishing managers and operators deal with every week.

    Easy Installation

    Say goodbye to your giant loud and heavy dinosaur rectifiers. ION Rectifiers are designed to be easily installed in your shop. They DO NOT require process changes or special chemistry to work. Our remote control option,  allows you to install units anywhere and still have full control.

    Reliability

    It’s a nightmare when your plating power supply is down. We understand the importance of reliability to your business. Our rugged corrosion-proof IP65 cases combined with multiple electronic protections ensure long life and maximum uptime.

    Easy To Use

    Designed to be extremely easy to use, our 7″ touchscreen control panel is a dream for operators. Even complex activities such as ramping programs and automation controls are easy to understand and implement.

    Consistent Results

    Wouldn’t you like to take the “art” out of plating? With automatic load adjustment and programable workflows, consistent results are a norm. Once the unit is set, your operators simply press a button and the same thing happens every time.

    Programmable Features

    Our microprocessor-controlled systems have advanced capabilities such as programmable timers, Amp hour counters, programmable process recipes, thickness programs, and an optional PLC interface and dosing pump control. 

    Reduce Electricity Costs

    Our switch-mode-based rectifiers offer up to 95% efficiency. The electricity savings, especially in high power applications, ensure your ROI on anodizing rectifiers and hard chrome power supplies is quick.

    Choose the Right Rectifier for Your Process

     

    Two flagship lines. One standard of engineering.

    ION builds two rectifier lines that share the same platform, controls, and corrosion-proof build. The only difference is whether your process calls for pulse.

    Low-Ripple DC Rectifiers

    For shops that want the best standard DC power supply on the market.

    • ≤2% ripple and 0.95 power factor for clean, stable output
    • High-efficiency switch-mode design, compact and durable
    • Air-cooled up to 200 A and water-cooled up to 5000 A
    • Best fit: general plating, anodizing, SCR upgrades

    High-Speed Pulse Rectifiers

    For shops that want waveform control and the gains pulse can deliver.

    • Everything in the DC unit, plus programmable pulse
    • Square waveform up to 10 KHz, dual pulse and pulse train
    • Better current distribution, finer grain, faster plating
    • Best fit: hard chrome, decorative work, throughput shops
