MP Continuous Parts Plater Technology
Conventional Rack and Barrel plating with an overhead hoist is a technology that has been around for a very long time. (For barrel plating technology alternatives, see the Technic Tumbleplater and the Technic SBE (Spouted Bed Electrode) plater). Technic's Surface Finishing Technologies Divison has developed three styles of continuous plating systems to address the inefficiencies of rack plating.
