Production Plating Barrels
Novo Metal Finishing Equipment designs and manufactures best-in-class plating barrels and plating equipment for use in a wide range of manual and automatic hoist and tank systems. We offer both tank driven and self-contained motorized units for the plating and web barrel finishing industries.
The Novo Metal Finishing Equipment plating barrels are designed and manufactured in Bristol, Connecticut. We are proud to be a part of the Connecticut manufacturing sector since 2004. We specialize in custom plating barrels and can manufacture a barrel to whatever size, diameter or style you would like. We offer plating barrels in a variety of perforations to fit both your part size as well as solution flow needs. Novo Metal Finishing Equipment also offers multiple door options to include clamp style, IO door style, slide lock and dual door center post.
With decades of experience in the metal finishing industry, we provide high quality and durable solutions that meet the needs of each specific product and system. The plating equipment design team supports the entire range of product design options: from exact fit replacement barrels for plating, changes to existing designs to custom-designed barrels for new systems. Whether you are a system integrator working on a new design or an OEM in need of a replacement plating equipment, Novo Metal Finishing Technologies has the barrel solution to meet your plating needs.
The Novo Metal Finishing plating barrel offers a range of advantages that enhance efficiency, consistency, and product quality in metal finishing operations. Designed with precision engineering, Novo barrels ensure uniform plating distribution across all parts, even on complex geometries or small components. Their advanced construction materials resist corrosion and chemical wear, extending the barrel’s lifespan and reducing maintenance downtime.
A major advantage of Novo’s plating barrels is their optimized perforation design, which promotes excellent solution flow and agitation. This results in cleaner, more even coatings with superior adhesion and appearance. The barrels are also engineered for energy efficiency, minimizing drag-out and chemical waste while maximizing throughput.
Novo Metal Finishing prioritizes modular design and easy maintenance, allowing for quick component replacement and reduced production interruptions. The use of high-quality polymers or specialized metals ensures chemical compatibility with a wide range of plating solutions—nickel, zinc, copper, or precious metals.
In addition, Novo barrels are customizable to meet specific load capacities, part sizes, and process requirements, offering unmatched flexibility for both high-volume production and precision applications. Overall, the Novo Metal Finishing plating barrel delivers consistent performance, cost savings, and long-term durability—making it a valuable asset in any modern plating operation.

-
Increased Plating 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. -
Reduced Process Cost
Novo MFE barrels made-to-order for exact system fit. This eliminates any design retrofits, process compromises or extra manufacturing work-arounds. The seamless internal body reduces dragout and reduces the frequency of wastewater changeover. The textured interior reduces material catching all throughout the barrel which increases product plating yields.
