Expanding Capacity for High-Volume and Large Components
General Metal Finishing now offers large-scale automated matte silver plating services designed for oversized components and high-volume production programs. This new capability expands beyond traditional rack and barrel plating by facilitating the consistent, repeatable plating of larger parts and in higher quantities than previously possible.
Key Capabilities of Automated Plating
- Oversized rack plating envelope – Flight bar capacity of approximately 7’ x 3’, allowing for plating of large busbars and complex assemblies
- High-volume barrel processing – Large-format barrels designed for efficient processing of high piece counts, reducing cost per unit for production programs
- Automated line control – Fully automated hoist system ensures repeatability, uniform thickness, and process stability across large runs
- Matte silver finishes – Engineered specifically for functional matte silver plating, ideal for electrical conductivity and high-reliability applications
Benefits of Large-Scale Silver Plating
- Enhancing traditional plating capabilities – Expanded tank and rack capacity allows General Metal Finishing to plate parts that exceed the limits of traditional plating setups
- Increased production throughput – Automation enables faster processing of high-volume orders while maintaining tight tolerances
- Improved cost efficiency – Bulk processing and reduced handling lower the cost per part for production programs
- Assurance of consistent quality – Automated systems deliver uniform coating thickness and repeatable results, critical for high-reliability applications
Applications
This new capability is purpose built for industries requiring high conductivity and scalability, and is ideal for:
- Power distribution components such as busbars
- AI and data center infrastructure
- Switchgear and electrical assemblies
- High-current connectors and terminals
