Fuse-Fab™ Construction:
Singleton barrels are made with premium grade, high temperature polypropylene and innovative Fuse-Fab™ construction assuring quality and durability. Fuse-Fab™ joins sections of plastic material, in a controlled thermal process, creating a single uniform section. The result is a seamless plating barrel with tremendous strength and integrity.

Steel-Core™ Reinforcement:
Door handles, door ribs and side ribs incorporate Steel-Core™ construction, eliminating warping and parts loss while enhancing overall durability. Steel-Core™ encapsulated reinforcing provides superior strength and extended service life to every Singleton production barrel.

Poly-Ripple™ Panel Interior:
Poly-Ripple™ barrel panels have a series of parallel grooves over the entire length of the interior surfaces. Poly-Ripple™ is an exclusive feature of all Singleton production plating barrels. Poly-Ripple™ promotes material tumbling, eliminates nesting, increases current flow to the load, allows faster draining, faster drying and less drag-out.

The Singleton Portable Barrel Plating equipment is the perfect solution, when a full size barrel is too much.

We offer a wide range of sizes allowing you to achieve optimum solution for the transfer and current density. Portable barrels can be for plating on a variety of smaller loads, precious metals or delicate parts.

Complete assemblies are furnished with drives and high capacity copper cathode contacts.

Superstructures are available in select configurations to match existing equipment.

• Fuse-Fab™ construction, the same as provided on Singleton production barrels.
• Poly-Ripple™ interior panel surfaces prevent smaller parts from sticking, promote tumbling and faster plating.
• Heavy Duty drilled panels: 1/16" to 1/4" diameter perforations available.
• Alloy clamps or knobs secure the door during processing and resist corrosion.
• Self-lubricating gears and separate hubs, attached with alloy fasteners maximize serviceability.
• 110 VAC single phase, integral motors.
• Variable speed DC drives or air driven units are optional.

Fuse-Fab™ Construction:
Singleton plating barrel series is made with innovative Fuse-Fab™ construction and premium grade, high temperature polypropylene assuring quality and durability. While in a controlled thermal process, the Fuse-Fab™ joins sections of plastic material, producing a single uniform section. The result is a smooth plating barrel with integrity and premium strength.

Steel-Core™ Reinforcement:
The Steel-Core™ construction eliminates warping and parts loss while optimizing overall durability. This feature is integrated into door handles, side ribs and door ribs. This unique technology concentrates on reinforcing to provide superior strength and extended service life to every Singleton production barrel.

Poly-Ripple™ Panel Interior:
The entire length of the interior services to the Poly-Ripple™ barrel panels are covered with patterned parallel grooves. Poly-Ripple™ panel interiors are an
