Rotobarrel electroplating systems: innovation and sustainability in the electroplating industry
Rotobarrel electroplating systems are the ideal answer to high productivity needs. OMIG’s constant commitment to research and development has resulted in ever more advanced solutions characterised by superior performance, ease of use, extended service life and an environmentally friendly approach to electroplating.
At the heart of these systems is the rotobarrel technology, which enables the processing of large quantities of material, of various shapes and sizes, from the smallest to the largest: screws, bolts, buttons and small assembly components are processed with these types of systems.
The use of rotobarrels ensures a high capacity in terms of numbers and a high processing speed.
In addition, the moving parts in the barrels have no fixed contacts and therefore, prevent certain areas from being unprocessed. The uniform rotobarrel process results in a flawless coating, thanks to a state-of-the-art system.
Process automation is another key element of the rotobarrel systems manufactured by OMIG: once the objects are presented to the line, the system automatically manages their movement through the different stages of the galvanising process. This approach allows productivity to be maximised and the process to be monitored at every stage.
The efficiency of rotobarrel electroplating systems is specifically tailored for industries demanding high-capacity productivity, predominantly serving sectors reliant on the mass production of small components, such as automotive, mechanical engineering, fashion accessories, aerospace, and furniture:
- automotive
- mechanical
- fashion (small products)
- aerospace
- furnishings
OMIG’s continuous research and development results in technological innovations that simplify the entire galvanising process. Automated control systems, intuitive user interfaces and the ability to customise process parameters help to make rotobarrel systems accessible even to less experienced operators. This not only optimises productivity, but also reduces the time needed for staff training.
The robust design and quality of the materials used in the construction of OMIG’s rotobarrel systems ensure an extended service life. Wear resistance and simplified maintenance contribute to reliable operation over the long term, reducing costs associated with downtime, and thanks to alarms and counters on the system, ensure preventive maintenance. However, OMIG is not stopping there and wants to steer the machines towards predictive maintenance.
OMIG is committed to developing ever greener solutions, reducing the environmental impact of the electroplating process. The optimisation of energy consumption, the use of sustainable materials, the adoption of processes with low environmental impact, the treatment of fumes (entirely managed by OMIG) and the purification of water are an integral part of the company’s philosophy. OMIG’s rotobarrel systems are designed not only to guarantee high quality results, but also to do so with the least environmental impact.
OMIG’s rotobarrel electroplating systems represent an excellent synthesis of innovation, superior performance, extended service life and sustainability. These advanced solutions fit perfectly into diverse industrial contexts, helping to improve product quality, optimise production and promote more responsible management of environmental resources.
