How Do You Choose the Right Plating Barrel for Small Components?
When you're plating thousands (or even millions) of small components, the barrel you choose can have a major impact on plating quality, throughput, part protection, and overall efficiency.
Small parts present unique challenges. They need consistent electrical contact and proper solution flow, but some components can also be delicate enough that excessive tumbling or part-to-part contact may cause damage. At the same time, high-volume operations need equipment capable of processing large quantities efficiently without sacrificing consistency.
So, how do you choose the right plating barrel for your small components?
At Novo Metal Finishing Equipment, plating barrels can be designed around the parts, chemistry, production volume, and specific requirements of the plating operation.
