Barrel and Rack Electroplating Services

With years of expertise and state-of-the-art technology, we offer comprehensive electroplating solutions tailored to meet your specific needs.

What is Electroplating?

Electroplating is a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a thin coherent metal coating on an electrode. This process enhances the appearance, durability, and corrosion resistance of various components, making it an essential technique in manufacturing and finishing industries.

Our Electroplating Services

We specialize in two primary electroplating methods:

1. Barrel Plating

Barrel plating is an efficient and cost-effective method for plating large quantities of small to medium-sized components. This technique involves placing items inside a rotating barrel where they are tumbled and plated simultaneously. It is ideal for:

Cost Efficiency: Batch processing reduces costs and increases production efficiency.
Uniform Coating: Ensures even plating coverage on all surfaces, including intricate shapes and recesses.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials and finishes.

2. Rack Plating

Rack plating is perfect for larger, delicate, or more complex parts that require precise handling and plating. Each item is individually mounted on a rack to ensure optimal positioning and uniform coating. Key benefits include:

Precision: Perfect for parts that demand meticulous attention to detail and uniform thickness.
High-Quality Finish: Provides an excellent aesthetic and functional finish.
Customisation: Allows for selective plating and masking of areas as needed.
