The Novo MFE Advantage:

  • Increase Plaing Quality

    Our barrels are fabricated with ProKnob Polypropylene to reduce material catching, eliminate material nesting and increase current flow. Our single-body, thermally bent barrels are extrusion welded to the ends, creating a seamless internal volume and eliminating catch points for fluid to collect. We leverage a tight drilling pattern maximize drainage for better rinsing and faster drying.
  • Increased Barrel Life

    Our single-body ProKnob Polypropylene barrel is one of the most durable resigns in the industry. The extrusion welding on the ends is significantly more durable than traditional hand-welding the joints. The increased drainage facilitated by tight hole pattern and elimination of fluid catch points allows the barrel to be used for an increased number of cycles.
  • Lower Your Energy Costs

    Our battery powered barrels can last up to 8 hours before needing to be recharged. Depending on how big the barrel and motor are one battery can last a full shift. With easy interchangeability of batteries keep your line running for a full day at a fraction of the cost. By using a battery barrel there is no need for expensive automation and power sources within the line and with these you can quickly transform a rack plating line into barrel plating.

FAQs:

  • Are battery powered plating barrels energy efficient?

    Yes. Because they eliminate the need for dedicated power sources and can operate on long-lasting rechargeable batteries, battery powered barrels help reduce operating costs and energy consumption while maintaining high productivity.

  • Can battery powered plating barrels be customized?

    Yes. Novo Metal Finishing Equipment can manufacture custom battery powered barrels to fit specific tank dimensions, load capacities, perforation requirements, and production needs. Custom sizes and configurations are available to match existing plating systems.

  • Can the rotation speed be adjusted?

    Yes. Novo battery powered barrels feature variable-speed control, allowing operators to optimize barrel rotation based on part size, geometry, and plating requirements. Proper speed adjustment helps improve coating consistency and overall plating quality.

  • How do battery powered plating barrels improve plating quality?

    The textured interior and precision perforation pattern promote proper tumbling and solution flow. This improves current distribution, reduces material nesting, and helps produce more uniform coatings with better rinsing and faster drying.

  • How long will the battery last?

    Depending on barrel size, load, and motor requirements, a single rechargeable battery can provide up to eight hours of operation. Interchangeable batteries allow users to keep production running throughout the day with minimal downtime.

  • What are battery powered plating barrels?

    Battery powered plating barrels, also called power station barrels, are self-contained plating barrels that use rechargeable batteries to rotate the barrel without requiring an external power connection. They provide flexibility and mobility for electroplating applications where traditional power sources are limited or unavailable.

  • What are the advantages of a battery powered plating barrel?

    Battery powered plating barrels offer several advantages, including:

    • No external electrical connection required
    • Increased flexibility and portability
    • Lower installation and infrastructure costs
    • Ability to convert rack plating operations to barrel plating
    • Variable speed control for improved plating quality
    • Reduced Energy Consumption

  • What maintenance is required for battery powered plating barrels?

    Routine maintenance is minimal and typically includes:

    • Cleaning the barrel after use
    • Inspecting perforations and contacts
    • Charging batteries regularly
    • Checking moving components for wear
    • Replacing batteries when necessary

    The rugged design and seamless construction help maximize barrel life and minimize downtime.

  • What materials are used in Novo battery powered barrels?

    Novo battery powered barrels are manufactured using durable ProKnob polypropylene. The single-body, thermally bent construction is extrusion welded to create a seamless interior that reduces part trapping, improves drainage, and extends barrel life.

  • What types of parts are suitable for battery powered plating barrels?

    Battery powered barrels are ideal for:

    • Fasteners
    • Electronic components
    • Small stamped parts
    • Precision machined components
    • Hardware products
    • Delicate or high-value parts

    They can be used in a wide variety of metal finishing applications.

  • Why choose Novo Metal Finishing Equipment battery powered barrels?
