The swinging or reversing of the barrels by changing the rotation direction provides a surprisingly simple solution for many applications and problem parts.

Threaded rods, bulky and scratch-sensitive parts can be gently galvanised in this way.

The swing controller is pre-installed in the barrel units and operated or activated using the plant controller or a function button on the unit.

Several control options are available for reversing rotation of the barrel in the plating process.

There are currently two field-tested versions of the reversing controller:

• Preset turning points (barrel oscillates around a zero point)
• Rotation of the barrel without fixed zero point. Different oscillating movements can be set using a timing element. The oscillation around a zero point is achieved by setting a short time.
