The
ceramic galvanizing tanks are often criticized for their need for an important
zinc volume because of a lost zinc surface for the heating system.
The heating of ceramic tanks with immersion burners is gathering
the two following criteria : the advantages of a significant thermal exchange
and the advantages of having a tank that can resist for more than 20 years.
Particularly performing in its output, this heating system
is also allowing to limit the formation of zinc oxides at the surface of the
zinc, as we can have in tanks that have a heating system with heating cover.
However, the galvanizing tanks with immersion burners that are often considered
as a quite expensive investment and oriented towards customers requesting an
important level of profitability are now showing themselves as a solution that
is more frequently adopted by industrialists who are looking for great results
in terms of productivity.
Thanks to an original way of design and handling of the immersion
burners specific to FIB, the lifetime of immersed tubes has already reached
more than 2 years on existing equipments!
