Every manufacturing facility depends on the reliability and efficiency of its equipment. After all, the more time you spend maintaining a component of your process, the less you're able to use it to keep your business profitable. To make your equipment as durable and low-maintenance as possible, R. A. Heller Co., the top machine shop in Cincinnati, recommends having some of your parts chromium plated.

Chromium plating offers advantages for equipment in almost any industry. The finish not only is bright and attractive, but also extremely durable. With hard chrome plating, your equipment will be more resistant to sudden temperature swings, corrosion, and damage from acids and other hazardous substances. The chromium plating process is commonly used in a variety of industries for parts such as cylinder rods, inside diameter surfaces, rolls and firing pins, and production parts.

If the surface of your part has been damaged, chromium plating can be an effective step in the repair process, potentially making your component even better than new.

Among its equipment, R. A. Heller Co. features six chrome plating tanks, including a 16-foot horizontal tank that dramatically decreases the time and expense of plating long parts. The variety of tanks at their disposal gives them the capacity to treat almost any piece of equipment, making their services vital for businesses in industries across the country.
