JUNDA Fastener Barrel Plating Line is an automated zinc electroplating system designed for bolts, screws, nuts, washers, and metal stampings. The equipment supports acid zinc and alkaline zinc plating processes with batch capacities from 200kg to 800kg. Featuring intelligent PLC control and optional fuzzy logic scheduling technology, the system enables flexible production management, mixed-product processing, stable coating quality, and reduced labor requirements. It is widely used by fastener manufacturers, automotive component suppliers, construction hardware producers, and industrial hardware processing facilities worldwide.
Our Fastener Barrel Plating Line is specifically engineered for high-volume zinc electroplating of standard fasteners including bolts, screws, nuts, washers, and metal stampings. This automated line combines rapid plating speeds with consistent quality, making it the preferred choice for fastener manufacturers and platers worldwide.
The acid zinc barrel plating process is particularly well-suited for low-carbon steel fasteners (grades 4.8 and 6.8), offering excellent throwing power into thread roots and head recesses at the lowest operating cost.
