Barrel Plating Machinery For Electroplating - Plating Equipment And Plating Barrels

Barrel plating is a form of electroplating used for plating a high volume of smaller metal objects in one sitting. It consists of a non-conductive barrel-shaped cage in which the objects are placed before being subjected to the chemical bath in which they become plated. An important aspect of the barrel plating process is that the individual pieces establish a bipolar contact with one another— this results in high plating efficiency. However, because of the large amount of surface contact that the pieces have with each other, barrel plating is generally not recommended when precisely engineered or ornamental finishes are required. The barrel plating method is an efficient and relatively low-cost method of electroplating. Parts and components are placed inside a barrel that slowly rotates while it is immersed in the metal plating solution. Electrical contact is made through the use of danglers or center bars that are located inside the barrel.

Features of PreciseHeater Barrel Units

Our unique touch & wipe system provides extra cool contacts and reduces any dirt impediment for uninterrupted plating. Conventional contacts are available such as the standard “horn and vee” set-up, endbar or bell-and-wedge. End plate and strip contacts are also available.

Door fastening can be either PE1000 clips, shutterbar, or camlock. All methods are designed to ensure secure locking and to eliminate product entrapment. All methods of power take off are available on our motorised electro plating barrel units, both for plating and barrel rotation.

To ensure exceptional performance, our gear motors are supplied by SEW-Eurodrive, a recognised market leader of drive engineering.
