The Scenario:
I need to be able to zinc plate bolts and other fasteners at a rate of 300 lbs. per hour with minimal downtime. The biggest of these bolts being approx 1-1/2" in diameter and 22"long. The smallest is a 1/8" washer.
The Process:
First dip is SP Degreaser. Rinse tank. Then on to the Zinc for 20 mins. Rinse Tank. Then Yellow Chromate for 2 mins. Rinse. Let set for 4 hours. Packout.
The Questions:
What would be the best way to accomplish this? Basket plating? Barrel plating? A combination of the 2? Automated? Manual? Suppliers for this type of equipment? Cost?
If anyone on this forum has done this type of thing, please help. I just received a business proposition that I couldn't refuse, but now I'm in over my head.
HELP
Thank you to everyone on this forum for being so helpful.
