Larry King Corp. offers a true self-circulating so- lution flow inside the barrel during plating. The Self-Cir barrel's simple design eliminates the ex- ternal pump. It is excellent for use in a laboratory and for plating small intricate parts that require uniform thickness and consistent quality. The Self-Cir barrel offers savings on overplate metal waste, consistent plating efficiency, and reduces the plating time.
