Like the tanks used by the big producers, except designed for a modest pocketbook and intended for use by users that make a few boards at a time. Etching (with Ferric Chloride Etchant) is vastly more effective when the solution is warm or very warm, agitated and full of air bubbles (oxygen acts much like a catalyst). This handy Etching tank system includes a heater to keep the solution warm and a pump assembly (110-120 volts AC) to both agitate and insert oxygen. The System is intended for use on a bench top.

This handy etching tank system will handle P.C. boards up to 8" x 9" and also will handle 2 boards at one time. The tank holds 1.35 gallons of etching solution. The system comes with an air pump to agitate the etchant, a heater to keep the etchant at the optimum temperature and a convenient board holder to suspend the P.C.B. in the etching solution.

Also, this system includes a tight fitting top so the user can close the plastic tank & prevent evaporation of the etching solution while the system is not in use.

This system provides a low cost method of speeding up etching time for P.C.B. fabricators.
