Barrel plating is an
efficient and relatively
low cost method of
plating. Parts are
placed inside a barrel
that slowly rotates
while it is immersed in
the plating solution.
Electrical contact is
made through the use of
danglers or centerbars
that are located inside
the barrel. This plating
method is usually
recommended since high
volumes of parts can be
plated with uniform
coverage.
Some parts may be too
large or delicate to be
barrel plated. Please
keep in mind that there
is always a chance for
part damage or bending
due to the nature of the
tumbling process. In
cases where parts cannot
be barrel plated we
recommend rack plating
which is more labor
intensive and thus more
costly. KPW's
experienced staff will
analyze your product and
determine which process
best suits your needs
