Loeco, Germany, is involved in the
engineering, manufacture and worldwide
supply of industrial plants. The company
places special emphasis on environmental
precautions and efficient automation for
high-speed production and protective zinc-
coating of top-quality tube and pipe.
Loeco’s state-of-the-art automatic pipe
pickling and galvanizing plant has just
started production at Tata Steel Tubes
Division in Jamshedpur, India. Following
modernization of the first galvanizing bath
at Tata Steel, Loeco has now supplied a
second galvanizing bath, equipped with a
double-dip and extracting system.
Loeco has also integrated a new pickling
line – completely housed-in – with
automatic one-by-one transport of the pipes
through degreasing, acid, flux and drying/
preheating, to feed the two galvanizing
baths.
Tata Steel’s new galvanizing plant has been
designed for round pipes from 1 /2 " to 4", as
well as square and rectangular profiles. The
plant has a production capacity of 100,000t/
year.
To save the environment and ensure worker
health and safety, acid and zinc fume
suction and cleaning are integrated with the
plant as well as a flux preparation.
In recent years, Loeco has also successfully
modernized older pipe-galvanizing plants
by installing new handling systems on
existing furnaces. This fully automatic pipe
handling system has pipe dipping screws,
pipe positioning and lifting device. It also
comes with a pipe extracting machine with
excess-zinc-blowing and water quenching
and blowing, and can be designed to fit
most existing galvanizing furnaces.
