-----Best method for filling anode baskets ⇦ huh? in production plating?
Q. In my work in a nickel-tin plating shop, we top up the anodes manually, usually standing over the top of the plating baths with a scoop sliding the anodes into the baskets ⇦ huh?. My query would be if you have any info on a mechanical device to top up this baskets more easily.

A. Hello, Paul. An American company is (or was a few years ago at least) selling an oblong cone shaped polypropylene extension -- a funnel for anode baskets -- so you can pour in the rounds more easily or even keep an inventory above the solution level.
Additional input on this would be welcome. Good luck.
