Superior Barrel Cylinder Construction
Experience and testing has proved that there is no more cost effective and robust material than Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene for manufacturing electroplating barrels.
Barrel Cylinder Construction
Why we use U.H.M.W. PE 1000 for our Plating Barrels
- Resistance to component entrapment – zero rejects in most cases
- Allows for larger open area for solution to pass over product
- Almost unlimited wear resistance – Eagle plating barrels last up to 5 times longer than other plating barrels
- Effective and efficient solution transfer – faster processing times, with savings in power costs
- Ultra high impact strength to cope with heavy components
- Excellent resistance to product wearing inside face
- Superb tensile strength
- Resistance to stress cracking
- Perforations resistant to peening or diameter reduction
- Minimal surface tension – lower coefficient of friction than glass
- High load capacity up to 400 Kg
Superior Electroplating Barrel Cylinder Joint Construction
Eagle Engineering uses Ultra High Molecular Weight PE 1000 for its barrel construction primarily because it is hard wearing and robust. This chart demonstrates the relative resistance of PE1000 to abrasion when measured against other materials.
