Abstract
A plating apparatus includes a plating tank and a plating unit that performs electrolytic plating on an object. The plating unit includes a workpiece passage region including a partition wall that allows passage of the plating solution but does not allow passage of the object, the workpiece passage region passing the object from above toward below, an injection unit that injects the plating solution from below toward above, a mixing unit that mixes the plating solution injected by the injection unit and the object to be plated passing through the workpiece passage region, an anode outside the workpiece passage region, a cathode inside the workpiece passage region including a hollow region through which a mixed fluid of the plating solution and the object to be plated passes from below toward above, and a guidance unit that guides the mixed fluid to the workpiece passage region.
