Munk GmbH is located in the important German industrial area Ruhr valley,nearby the city of Dortmund (airport), Duisburg (harbor and train station) and Duesseldorf (international airport). Munk is today the largest and mostcreative rectifier manufacturer for electrochemical applications in Germany.Munk is known, not only in Europe, for their high quality, high efficiencyrectifiers, with the widest product range in the industry and well organizedglobal after sales service network reaching from China to the USA. Founded inthe year 1970, Munk produces high efficient and reliable tailor made platingand anodizing rectifiers in SCR and IGBT technology. Using water cooling, aircooling, oil cooling, or oil + water cooling to cool the power components Munkprovides the best suitable solution for each application relying on theirrectifier and process know how.

         Munk keeps aspecial know how in the field of anodizing light metals like  aluminium, titanium and magnesium as well aselectrolytic colouring of aluminium, too. In comparison to conventionalcolouring systems, Munk achieves a higher productivity and improved colordistribution. Due to the advanced control unit, the operation becomes verysimple and convenient. Each Munk rectifier and colouring system is the resultof more than 40 years of field experience combined with the expertise of 50design technicians and engineers under the roof of Munk. This by itself isunique, too.

         Focus on plating Munk designs the latest high power IGBT rectifier, which are called PSP, insuch a way that multiple PSP rectifiers can be hosted in one cabinet to providean enhanced protection in the corrosive plating environment. High DC quality,one single fresh air input, one single power input and multiple controlled DCoutputs are combined into one cabinet. This design of rectifiers provides lowerinstallation cost and better corrosion protection than standard air-cooledrectifiers and saves energy for the customer due to the closer installation tothe tank which ensures a higher energy efficiency. PSP PowerRack is theadditional flexible and modular designed IGBT rectifier system for high powerapplications ranging from 4 V up to 150 V or 800 A up to 7500A. The extra powerof the PSP PowerRack, the small size and the low DC ripple allows the customerto use the latest IGBT technology for large plating tanks e.g. decorativechrome plating, nickel plating or copper plating like in POP lines or hardchrome plating etc.

          Munk products arethe unique blend of process expertise and power engineering. As an approvedsupplier to the large automotive OEM’s, the aircraft industry and steel industry Munk rectifiers comply with thehighest quality demands in the industry.
