Silver plating equipment for deep cavities and tubular parts

Hi to all. Could you recommend for me equipment capable of plating deep cavity parts and cylindrical parts, with a very good consistency in all the way of the part surface?
the size of the aluminum parts are 13" X 13", 6"deep.

Hi, Frank.

Electricity follows the path of least resistance, and the amount of plating deposited in an area is basically proportional to the amount electricity flowing to that area. So, to electroplate inside a tube you are going to need to have an auxillary anode running through that tubing. What sort of plating equipment and experience do you currently have?
