Lines are modular and can accommodate almost any barrel size and configuration. Environmental enclosures, specialized spray and fog barrel rins- ing, automatic loading and unloading, and state- of-the-art software scheduling are just some of the features.

Inc., New York Plastic Methods’ CMC Copper-Plated Plastic Balls replace heavy plating or burnishing media and make barrel plating of small or delicate parts possible. Highly conductive and light in weight, CMC balls cushion the product to prevent dam- age, restrict interlocking, and help to keep flat parts from stocking together. Features include precision round, sizes from 1.1 to 18 mm diame- ters, and easy sifting. The balls are ideal for barrel plating semiconductor and precision parts, in- crease electrical contact to fine articles for even metal distribution, are reusable, and can be re- fined for precious metals.
