A plating process apparatus ( 1 ) for small objects, including a treatment cell ( 2 ) formed by combining a base plate ( 23 ), a bottom plate ( 24 ), an electrode ring ( 21 ) and a cover ( 25 ) using bolts ( 26 ), energizes a plating solution within the treatment cell ( 2 ) while bringing the small objects ( 100 ) into contact with the electrode ring ( 21 ) and circulating the plating solution ( 4 ) from the inside of the treatment cell ( 2 ) to the outside thereof through a flow-out means by rotating the treatment cell ( 2 ) with a vertical rotation shaft ( 3 ), thereby plating the small objects ( 100 ). The apparatus ( 1 ) is characterized in that the flow-out means is a gap channel formed between adjacent sheet members ( 61 ) by sandwiching the sheet members ( 61 ), each having a dimension smaller than a minimum dimension of each small object ( 100 ), between the bottom plate ( 24 ) and the electrode ring ( 21 ) circumferentially at appropriate intervals.
