The Sterling Barrel…The Plater’s ChoiceDeveloped by platers for platers.Sterling’s original mesh barrel* provided the first practical methodfor plating a wide range of thin orminiature parts. When Sterling devel-oped the square hole cylinder, thecombination of maximum solutiontransfer and current flow in a tough ,durable unit became practical for allyour barrel plating needs.Of equal importance is the straight-forward overall design that recognizesthe plater’s need for equipment whichoperates day after day, year after year,without constant attention. Ifrequired, Sterling’s exclusive motorcartridge can be changed in seconds…or the cylinder quickly replaced –to keep your system going.

Backing up this performance andcommon sense design is Sterling’sreputation for quick response tounusual requirements plus an un-matched stock of complete barrels,components and accessories for off-the-shelf-delivery.Add up the advantages. Sterling…the best system to solve your platingproblems.

*U.S. Patent Nos. 3472753, 3498902Other domestic and global patents also apply.

FACT: Sterling’s mesh cylinder drainsfaster than any other

Certain Sterling cylinders feature this unique end panel mesh construction.This additional mesh provides even greater solution and current transferresulting in faster, more uniform plating with reduced dragout. Anotherdesign improvement from the long-time leader in portable plating barrels…Sterling. For complete ordering information, please contact ourfactory or consult your Sterling representative.

Standard Components For Better Performance

Each Sterling barrel is designedwith many standard features thathelp provide better overall perfor-mance during the plating process.

O Cylinder panels to enhancesolution transfer (parts will notstick to mesh sides).

O Quick – acting clutch for properpositioning of cylinder whenloading and unloading.

O Interchangeability of mesh orsquare hole cylinders allowsyou freedom for full utilizationof your equipment.

O Enclosed motor so moisture and humidity will not disrupt operation.

O Lift tab for easy door opening.
