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.
