Fabricators of Custom Plating Equipment and Tanks

BSI has specialized in the fabrication of high quality custom plastic equipment for the plating industry since 1988. From individual plating tanks to our innovative Lock-Jaw plating barrel, we can supply everything you need for your plating line. In fact, we provide “turn key” plating lines and self-contained modular systems including all plumbing, anode/cathode bars, pumps, filters, and ventilation designed to your specific needs.

Specialists in Tanks

While we at BSI specialize in producing polypropylene tanks, we can also assist you with all other types of plastic tanks (PVC, CPVC and HDPE) as well as both mild steel and stainless steel tanks and “drop-in” rigid tank liners.

Plastic Tanks

Our specialty lies in designing and fabricating custom polypropylene products to exacting specifications. Bucholz Smith will craft unique plastic fabrications or modify or duplicate existing work.

Steel Tanks

High-temperature and highly acidic processes often require mild steel tanks, and Buchholz-Smith fabricates custom steel tanks in a wide variety of sizes to support numerous industrial processes.

Stainless Steel Tanks

Food processing, high-purity water, chemical and laboratory applications may require stainless steel tanks, Bucholz Smith can fabricate custom stainless-steel tanks in a wide variety of sizes for your specific applications.
