We deliver your furnace ready for serial production under our comprehensive ‘turnkey’ assurance.
Immersion Tube Heated Galvanizing Kettles
Among hot-dip galvanizing systems, immersion tube kettles represent the highest-performing configuration available. In this model, the flame does not come into direct contact with the molten zinc, which significantly minimizes oxidation and material losses (dross/ash formation). Thanks to its robust refractory structure, the bath is designed for continuous, long-term operation.
These systems are modern hot-dip solutions that combine exceptional energy efficiency with an extended service life. Unlike traditional furnaces that transfer heat through the kettle’s exterior walls, these units deliver heat directly into the molten zinc via special alloy combustion tubes immersed in the bath, ensuring optimal thermal transfer and lower operational costs.
Open Flame Galvanizing Kettles
Open Flame Galvanizing Kettles are traditional and reliable systems based on the principle of heating the zinc kettle from its exterior surface. These systems are widely utilized in general galvanizing and for the coating of heavy industrial components. In this configuration, heat transfer is achieved by circulating the flames emitted from the burners within the combustion chamber located between the kettle and the furnace wall.
In this kettle model, a combination of refractory and ceramic fiber structures is typically employed. A notable characteristic of these systems is the direct contact between the flame and the material surface, which can lead to production losses due to oxidation. Additionally, they may present certain limitations regarding fuel consumption efficiency compared to modern closed-flame alternatives.
Steel Kettle Galvanizing Systems
As the heart of the hot-dip galvanizing process, these kettles serve as the primary unit where molten zinc is contained and heated. Typically manufactured from high-quality, special alloy steel plates, these systems are the most widely used configuration in both wire galvanizing lines and general galvanizing plants.
These systems feature a double-walled design that ensures there is no direct contact between the flame and the zinc bath. While this indirect heating approach prevents direct contamination, external heating can lead to certain thermal inefficiencies and a higher risk of kettle punctures over time. Despite these operational considerations, kettle-type systems remain a preferred choice due to their significantly lower initial investment costs compared to other furnace models.
