Cooling after galvanizing (CGL)
Cooling after galvanizing steel is a critical step to ensure the quality and performance of the galvanized coating. Our BIM series spray nozzles can be used to cool the top roll and steel sheet after galvanizing. The BIM nozzles can be integrated in a spray header to produce a uniform spray distribution across the entire spray area. It can spray on steel plates effectively and uniformly at high speed.
Degreasing and rinsing (CGL)
Degreasing and rinsing are essential steps in the surface preparation process for galvanizing steel. They ensure that the steel surface is clean and free of contaminants. Our BRASIKAN solution is an air-driven automatic brush cleaning nozzle which was especially developed for this process. Brasikan allows remote control of spray and cleaning mode. Therefore, it can be installed in a narrow, inaccessible place. With a timer. it can also be programmed to clean automatically.
Blowing off with Air nozzles
Blowing off steel for drying and removing dust and liquid is an important step on the galvanizing line as well as on the coating line. Ikeuchi’s TAIFUJet series are ideal for this process due to their high impact and unform airflow. TAIFUJet is available in 3 different shapes; flat, long and round type. TAIFUJet air nozzles also provide 45% energy saving compared to conventional single hole air nozzles as well a significant noise reduction of 10db.
