STERLING BARRELS

Your One-Stop Shop for Sterling Barrels, Including a Wide Range of Sizes & Applications

Developed by platers for platers. Sterling’s original mesh barrel provided the first practical method for plating a wide range of thin or miniature parts. Simplicity in overall design recognizes the plater’s need for equipment that operates day after day, without a lot of attention. Backing up this performance and common-sense design is Sterling’s reputation for quick response to unusual requirements with an unmatched stock of complete barrels and components for off-the-shelf delivery.

Certain Sterling cylinders feature a unique end-panel mesh construction. This additional mesh provides even greater solution and current transfer, resulting in faster, more uniform plating with reduced drag out. Each Sterling barrel is designed with many standard features enhancing overall performance including:

  • Cylinder panels to enhance solution transfer (parts will not stick to mesh sides)
  • Quick acting clutch for proper positioning of cylinder when loading and unloading

  • Interchangeable mesh or square hole cylinders allows you freedom for full utilization of your equipment

  • Enclosed motor prevents moisture and humidity from disrupting operations

  • Lift tab enables easy door opening

  • Rugged construction designed for long service

  • Tight joints and smooth interior help eliminate rejects caused by parts catching joints
