anode baskets
and hooks
TITAN Metal Finishing anode baskets are fabricated using the latest design and welding technology for maximum strength and longest service life.
Our time tested products are designed by our engineering and sales team with over 50 years experience.
custom anode baskets
If your anode basket requirements call for other than standard configurations, consult with TITAN for alternatives and custom basket possibilities. Our extensive history in custom anode basket manufacturing gives you the ability to work directly with TITAN’s equipment experts to create the exact configuration you’re looking for.
Talk with TITAN. Together we’ll find the answer to your basket dilemma. If you have any questions about equipment for your metal finishing application, please call to speak with Titan Metal Finishing Equipment (805) 487-5050 or toll-free (877) 487-5050.
Sizing and styles:
- Rectangular Baskets: 2-1/2” x 6″
- Round Baskets: 2 1/2″ Diameter x Length
- Other lengths are built to order.
considerations for basket sizing:
- Baskets should be 2″ to 4″ shorter than the longest piece of work.
- Baskets should be 1″ above the solution level.
- Hook length is measured from the top of anode bar to 1″ above the solution level.
- Quantities for rectangular baskets should be three (3) 2 ½” x 6″ baskets for every two feet above the bar.

basket amperage & anode hooks
Rectangular Baskets are standard with 50 AMPS/Basket Double Contact Hooks. Higher Amperage is available (i.e., 100 Amps, 150 Amps and 200 Plus Amps).
To determine the AMPS needed per basket, please use the following formula:
AMPS Needed Per Basket
Total AMPS of TANK
Total # of Baskets
Amperage Rating Per Anode Hook:
25AMP = 1/8″ x 1″ Double Contact Hook or 3/8″ Square Bar Hook
50AMP = 1/4″ x 1″ Double Contact Hook or 1/2″ Square Bar Hook
75AMP = 3/8″ x 1″ Double Contact Hook or 5/8″ Square Bar Hook
100AMP = 1/2″ x 1″ Double Contact Hook or 3/4″ Square Bar Hook
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
- Inverted “V” Lift Hooks
- Inverted “U” Hooks
- “T” Handle Lift Hooks
- Reverse Lift Hooks for easier access in lifting baskets
- Submergible Hooks
- Loading Chutes for easier anode loading
- Mesh on 4 sides of basket for greater anode to cathode ratio
for heavy duty applications:
- Heavier hooks for strength and current carrying capabilities
- Ti Clad Copper Hooks for higher amperage rating
- Thicker mesh material to minimize bulging of basket
- Thicker side channel construction
