Optimizing Barrel Plating: How Hubbard-Hall's Expertise Enhances Performance and Reduces Cost
Case Study
Many companies engaged in rack and barrel plating face challenges in boosting production, enhancing performance, and reducing operational costs. Often, in-house expertise or time to conduct thorough process audits and analyze results is lacking. This can lead to issues such as chipping on parts within barrel chloride zinc lines and slower-than-expected throughput. Common challenges include high current density concerns and excessive additives, which compromise quality and slow throughput. Hubbard-Hall’s technical team stepped in to address these issues.
Hubbard-Hall’s plating chemistry experts conducted extensive lab testing to optimize the acid chloride composition, improving zinc distribution and overall efficiency.
- Balanced 2:1 zinc distribution: Achieving even distribution between high and low current density areas to reduce chipping and flaking.
- Enhanced throughput: Optimizing the acid chloride formulation to operate efficiently at high temperatures without compromising system efficiency.
