Strip galvanizing

(installed at Wuppermann Austria GmbH, Austria)

Ceramic-lined induction heated vessels are the ideal solution for coating steel strip with zinc, galvanealed, galfan or galvalume using the hot-dip process, as they offer: A flexible choice of coating temperature An optimized quality of the coating A cost-effective method of operation The customer decided in favour of an INDUGA vessel in view of the individual, sturdy design, the long service life, high reliability and excellent service.

INDUGA designs and supplies Channel-type induction furnaces for melting, holding and casting Coreless induction furnaces Furnaces for piece and strip galvanizing Automatic casting machines Ladle heating systems Low-pressure casting machines Plasma systems Besides flexibility, our approach is typified by individual concepts and process-specific solutions that take account of both quality and efficiency aspects.

Steel strip galvanizing in the induction furnace

For galvanizing with zinc, galfan, galvanealed or galvalume we offer stationary vessels with ceramic lining equipped with channel-type inductors. The number and arrangement of the inductors are selected so that homogeneous and precise temperature control is guaranteed even in large vessels. In addition, the power of the inductors is designed such that coating material consumed during the galvanizing process can be recharged. For galvalume coating lines we offer integrated melting and coating furnaces as well as separated ones. The premelting furnace can be stationary or tiltable. Depending on the application both coreless and channel-type furnaces are available. Our furnaces are equipped with a bath temperature control system which automatically adjusts the inductor power. For bath level control we supply well proven sensor systems. Besides that we offer the IRIS system, a very reliable inductor refractory inspection system. In order to ensure the flexibility of the coating lines, mobile furnace concepts, possibly with hydraulic or electromechanical lifting device, are provided where alternate galvanizing with zinc and galvalume or galvanealed is required.
