Continuous Lines

low carbon

Waxing bath combined with possible drying technology may be applied when required.

Most of your customer will ask to get wires protected by wax coating. FIB Belgium offers you a specific bath according to your need (or coating)

low carbon

As the end of the job is done at the wiping stage and the comfort of committed operators has no price, FIB has developed smart wiping solutions that guarantee a final coating weight and a smooth and shiny surface of the wire.

Depending on your zinc coating target, the nitrogen wiping technology can trim the zinc coating weight according to your wishes. Possibly combined with the sensors measuring continuously the zinc coating weight on each wire, an optional full automatic system allows maintaining your zinc coating weight in a narrow range and is tracing any incidental deviation for quality control purpose.

In-line coating is commonly carried out in ceramic or metallic baths.

Our special metal alloy vessel has shown its strength and long lifetime. Easy access to the wire field and limited amount of zinc aluminium alloy in the bath are the two attractive parameters of this solution. When the aluminium content is going ahead of the concentration applied in Galfan®, ceramic baths are taking over. Both top heated and immersed thermal plungers have shown their reliability for such alloys.

Nitrogen wiping technology is applied successfully for those alloys. As sometimes space is missing to put a new zinc aluminium coating bath, FIB has developed a specific “off-line” technology to apply Galfan® coating on pre-galvanized wires.

As the end of the job is done at the wiping stage and the comfort of committed operators has no price, FIB has developed smart wiping solutions that guarantee a final coating weight and a smooth and shiny surface of the wire. When commercial wiping is required, oblique or vertical pad wiping FIB technologies guarantee a shiny and smooth surface of your wires. Several pad qualities are part of our final solution depending on the final amount of zinc you want to target.

If oblique pad wiping is used basically on small wire fields, the FIB vertical pad wiping permits the modularity of using nitrogen wiping or pad wiping technology on the same equipment and this on small or large wire fields. Depending on your zinc coating target, the nitrogen wiping technology can trim the zinc coating weight according to your wishes.

The galvanizing bath and its accessories are the fingerprints of such a line. FIB has the experience of designing galvanizing baths up to 10 tons per hour capacity.

Several solutions according to the profile of the production, depending on the local environmental and on the type of products that have to be processed are possible. After having analysed your project FIB will recommend the most suitable solution that matches with you constraints and the profile of your line.

As the functioning of the whole line is depending on the reliability of the skid (wire guide dropped in the zinc), we have developed super long life pieces for that part. Using an FIB galvanizing bath means reliability and energy efficiency!

The metallic galvanizing bath has the positive point of giving easy access on both sides of the wire field. We have foreseen to minimize the corrosion of the metallic bath by a special unique heating technology. Positive and long life experience has demonstrated that this solution is valid especially when very frequent power breakdowns may take place at the site of the customer.

Ceramic galvanizing Baths are commonly used when the process requires high temperature, large wire fields or very high production.

Top heating galvanizing bath

Proven heating solution to limit zinc ashes formation and save energy, easy system to access under the cover and heavy duty refractory materials are used to make from this classical furnace technology a sound solution. Configurations with a heating cover in the middle or on the side are possible. For the use of micro-lines, FIB owns three solutions to make these even more compact.

Immersion burners galvanizing bath

Ceramic galvanizing Baths heated by immersed burners are commonly part of the experience of our company.

Thanks to the fact that we have opted for a specific self-recuperative burner technology combined with super high-tech ceramic tubes, we are able to reach a TWO YEARS lifetime for the tubes. This well-proven technology has demonstrated its capacity to achieve reliable galvanizing lines up to 10 tons per hour capacity. Specific design allowing the replacement in safe condition of the tubes and the access to the burners is part of our added value solution.
