Barrel plating lines

OMIG barrel plating systems are a versatile and efficient solution for the surface treatment of small metal parts. These lines utilize rotating barrels  where parts are subject to a precisely timed sequence of galvanic baths.

The rotating barrel, usually made of chemical-resistant plastic, is loaded with the parts to be treated and immersed in the process tanks. The barrel rotation ensures complete and uniform exposure of the parts to the galvanic baths, for a homogeneous and high-quality finish.

OMIG-developed barrel plating systems consist of:

- rotating barrel: houses the parts to be treated. Made of a material resistant to aggressive chemicals, it guarantees a long service life and high resistance to corrosion;

- process tanks: these contain the galvanic baths necessary for the different stages of the surface treatment. They are made of materials compatible with the chemical solutions used;

- loading and unloading system: this is for manual or automatic insertion and extraction of the parts from the barrel. Its purpose is to minimize operator contact with the galvanic baths;

- barrel handling robot: equipped with the latest technologies to ensure precision and safety;

- process accessories: filter pumps remove impurities from the galvanic baths during the treatment process; rectifiers supply current for electrolytic processes; blowers, inverters, and handlers maintain proper working parameters for a homogeneous and high-quality finish;

- control system: automatically manages the entire galvanic process, regulating the parameters of each tank, the speed of rotation of the barrel, and the environmental conditions. It is automated and historicized to guarantee a high level of precision and repeatability.

A key feature of OMIG barrel plating systems is their space-saving design. Their compact design makes them suitable even for limited workspaces.

OMIG barrel plating lines are highly versatile and match a wide range of industrial sectors, including automotive, electronics, hardware, jewelry, medical, watchmaking, valves, and more.
