BARREL PLANT
GROWEL conceptualizes, designs, manufactures, supplies, and installs top of the line BARREL plating plants to suit various processes.
Barrel Plating is widely employed for bulk processing of small to medium sized components. The finishing process consists of components being placed in an apparatus called the Barrel. The barrel then passes through different chemical baths to complete the surface finishing process. These barrels consist of an electrical contact called the dangler which helps in passing DC current.
The selection of articles for barrel plating is limited by their size, shape, and weight. The Barrels are usually constructed using a non-conductive material. The barrel body has perforations which helps to attain a uniform finish of components.
Our plants are highly customizable depending on the customers requirement.
Application
Barrel plating plants are beneficial for components that are small to medium sized and not very complex in construction. Fasteners, hardware, and electrical components are good examples of components that can be processed in barrels.

Automation
Automation is greatly preferred in bulk plating operations, predominantly for the following reasons:
- Consistency
- Reduction in labour costs
- Elimination of human error
- Reduced operational costs
- Regulated inputs
- Effective control for production
- Versatility and Traceability
Automation Features:
- Load as you Like
- Automatic current and temperature control as per process requirement
