Galvanizing Furnace 

The galvanizing furnace is highly efficient and reliable equipment in galvanizing plants. It is fabricated by using high-quality mild steel rolled sections. Control pipe trains are assembled and installed to achieve the optimized performance. The casing is insulated using the best quality ceramic fibres and modules.

The process of coating iron and steel with a layer of zinc involves submerging the metal in molten zinc at a temperature of around 449 °C to prevent corrosion of metal. Entire process is termed as  Galvanizing Furnace process.

Equipment Design of Galvanizing Furnace

Galvanizing furnace design is fully automatic with a high-velocity burner. Its Furnace casing is insulated with ceramic fibre. The pulse firing operations are suited for fuels like Gas, diesel and furnace oil among others. It can also be electrically operated. It has an auto-ignition system. The burner has an auto temperature control system to cool down the furnace and base refractory to make the furnace base heat resistant. Plc-based burner management system for safe start-up and shut down the process of the furnace, is assembled to reduce maintenance and improves time, and provides a safe environment for the plant. There is a system to control the temperature and level of zinc metal, flue gas, and to support the kettle high Nickel chromium tubes are attached.

Advantages of Galvanizing furnace

For chemicals like Acid fumes or zinc fumes, Galvanising factories need a high-quality furnace that can hold the chemical safely for a long time.

  1. Easy Mobility and TransportationGalvanizing furnaces are mostly used in agricultural or beverage industries because of their properties for storing liquids like water and chemicals. It is much easier to transport because of its design & shape.
  1. Temperature Control- Temperature is an important factor to consider in Galvanizing or processing industries. Due to the shape and adaptation of this furnace, they are faster and more effective in heating and cooling the chemicals and maintain the required temperature during storage and processing.
  1. Less manpower NeededGalvanizing furnace require less manpower to transport or to handle them. This allows the worker to focus more of their time on other priority tasks and projects.
  1. Efficient and Cost-Effective- These furnaces can be moved and transported easily because of their design which lowers the transportation. Further, it’s easy to assemble.
  1. Stress Distribution- The Galvanizing furnace is designed to offer equal pressure distribution in the furnace by eliminating the stress points found in horizontal tanks. This pressure distribution provides strength to the tank and contributes to optimize holding capacity.
  1. Stability- The galvanizing furnace design provides stability to place the base of the tank directly on a solid, flat surface. This stability is very important for Galvanizing Furnace, especially for chemicals, to process smoothly.
  1. Increase Efficiency- The Galvanizing furnace process has more potential energy which assists in reducing pumping cost

Benefits and Cost Savings of Galvanizing furnace

  1. It helps with Fuel Savings; an efficient fire setting provides maximum heat transfer with minimal fuel input.
  1. Furnace has Temperature Uniformity, which helps in convective heat transfer to the load and mixing of atmosphere, firing the burners at their maximum exit velocity.
  1. Furnace Lowers the Emissions and burners manage at the high fire with low excess of air.
  1. It provides Maximized Productivity with maximum energy transfer to the furnace load in a minimum amount of time.
  1. Galvanizing furnace process forms Low Ash and Dross.
  1. Furnace has Long Kettle Life.
  1. It is Low in maintenance.
  1. It can be easily turned-down and starte

Industry centric galvanizing furnaces are enabling companies from diverse domains in performing a range of operations seamlessly!
