About KSD Innovations
KSD Innovations GmbH from Hattingen specializes in the regeneration of etching and pickling solutions in circulation processes, in particular on the basis of iron(III) chloride (FeCl3). The company plans and builds complete etching systems, develops customer-specific wet-chemical manufacturing tasks and delivers special systems for structuring continuous strips and sheets. The portfolio includes FeCl3 regeneration plants without metal recovery, the rotating electrode regeneration RotReg with metal recovery, and filter stations for connection between the etching machine and the regeneration plant. The systems process materials such as steel, stainless steel and special alloys. The offering is complemented by a worldwide maintenance service and support of operational maintenance, organized centrally from Hattingen. According to the company's own statements, regeneration results in approximately 200,000 liters per day less FeCl3 transport worldwide and up to 90 % reduction in operating costs.
