CONTINUOUS GALVANIZING LINES

Adding value for a wide range of applications

A general trend in today’s steel industry is to increase added value and profit margin on rolled product through the application of metal coatings.

For corrosion protection, a broad range of solutions based on continuous hot-dip processes are offered to produce added value, high-quality material used in construction, appliances, automotive and packaging applications.

Technology

CONTINUOUS GALVANIZING AND OTHER METALLIC COATING LINES

To meet your expectations and your market (steel grades, gauges, coatings, qualities…), Clecim designs and implements different solutions according to your upstream production facilities and process route.
Based on the above considerations and additional customer constraints, the most suitable solution will be proposed.

Various combinations of processes (combi-lines) can also be proposed to optimize your production routes and costs in the field of hot dip coating (True Zinc, Galvanneal, Aluminum Zinc, Zinc Magnesium and Aluminum coatings):

  • Continuous Galvanizing Lines (CGL)

  • Continuous Annealing or Galvanizing Lines (CAGL)

  • Combined Continuous Galvanizing and then Color Coating / Painting Lines (CGPL, GPL)

  • Combined Continuous Pickling and then Galvanizing Lines (CPGL, PGL)
