APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTROLYTIC TREATMENT OF SUBSTRATES

The invention provides a system for the electrolytic treatment of a vertically oriented substrate, comprising:-an elongated cell for an electrolyte,-a conveyor for conveying a vertically oriented substrate to be electrolyzed and suspended from the conveyor through the electrolyte in the cell in a conveying direction according to a horizontal conveying path, the invention relates to a device for producing electrolyte in a cell, comprising:-a conveyor arranged to clamp a substrate near the top of the substrate during transport of the substrate through the electrolyte in the cell, and-a plurality of flow devices, each flow device having at least one discharge hole in the cell, the discharge holes are directed in a discharge direction extending opposite the transport direction to produce a flow of electrolyte having a flow direction opposite the transport direction in the electrolyte along at least one longitudinal side of the substrate suspended from the conveyor. The invention also provides a method for electro
