Vinylcrete polymer concrete with an FRP inner lining
EW electrolytic cell manufacturing and repair
We manufacture and repair electrolytic cells for copper electrowinning, sized to the cellhouse layout and the operating conditions of each plant.
Cells designed for the demands of electrowinning
EW cells must withstand the chemical, electrical and mechanical conditions of the operation. Structural deterioration or leaks can compromise the infrastructure and operational continuity.
At Interplak, we manufacture new cells and restore existing ones using Vinylcrete polymer concrete with an FRP inner lining.

- Hydrostatic testing
- Traceability of raw materials and the mix
Benefits for EW operations
Chemical resistance
Materials and linings selected for acid electrolyte conditions.
Electrical insulation
Dielectric material that helps prevent stray currents.
Dimensional precision
Tight dimensional control for easier installation and anode and cathode positioning.
Applications
