"Aluminium anodising"

-----

I am interested in starting an aluminium anodising plant at my factory in South Africa but only have a very basic knowledge of the process. Is there some where on line that I am able to get information about building an anodising plant?

Hi, Sean. You can assemble pieces from a few sources and make some progress. But you could also take a training course, hire a consultant, or buy an anodizing book (preferably all three). It takes years of effort to write a book, and nobody works for years without compensation, so you won't find the equivalent of a "book" about this on line. Good luck.
