Imperial Industries can also provide you with plating barrels in either hexagonal or round shape. Our horizontal plating barrels range in size from 12” to 24” dia. up to 60” long with side wall perforations from 1/16” to ½” in diameter. Since our barrel shells are formed in one piece we have eliminated welds on long walls, which mean less broken welds to trap solution and parts. The barrel shell is inserted into the barrel head to increase structure strength and manually welded. Each side of the door on the barrel shell has an adjacent rail which contains an imbedded stainless rail to strengthen barrel and prevents distortion.

Some of the other features of our plating barrels include:

• Single lids that can be reversible, 3/4” thick up to machined lids 1 ¼" thick, closure with a titanium clamp
• Two-piece lids closures that are titanium stud/nut or titanium clamps
• One compartment barrels or 2 compartments for smaller loads
• Assemblies are available with polypropylene or titanium hanger arms

In addition to plating barrel gears we can supply horizontal and oblique plating and processing barrels. Our polypropylene plating barrels range from 12" to 24" dia. up to 60" long and will have polypropylene or titanium hanger arms. Our metal processing barrels have been designed to handle up to 6,000 lbs.
