Cleaning prior to tin plating

Dear all,

We have a problem in the cleaning prior to tin plating as in both electrolytic baths, sparks (sparkles) occurred during a cleaning process. Such sparks leave marks on the strip. does anyone have any idea how we can solve this problem?

This sounds like a continuous coil plating line, but I don't think you've yet given us enough information to guess at the cause of the sparks or propose a fix for the problem, Boris. More info please?
