Hot Dip Galvanizing

Our services encompass all aspects of hot dip steel galvanizing. The hot dip galvanizing process entails a series of cleansing and pre-treatment techniques prior to coating steel with a thin zinc layer by passing the metal through a molten bath of high-temperature (450 °C) zinc.

Hot dip galvanizing provides ideal corrosion protection for steel – no other protective coating matches the unique protection gained by using this process. High adhesion, hard inner layers and a ductile surface layer are among the unique physical properties resulting from this process.

If there are suitable venting conditions, both internal and external protection on hollow structures can be achieved.

Spinning

Centrifuge is often referred to as ‘spin’ galvanizing because of the mechanics that get used in the process. With spin galvanizing small items can be placed in a perforated basket and immersed into molten zinc. Once the zinc/alloy layers form, the basket is centrifuged at high speed so that the spinning action removes the excess zinc and creates a clean profile. The centrifuge galvanising process offers comprehensive corrosion protection treatment of small or intricate steel components by mechanically spinning them during the galvanising process.

Logistics

Durban Galvanizing provides a convenient collection and delivery service for larger jobs. The fleet consists of over twenty trucks; four of the trucks can carry 18 tons accommodating a maximum length of 13m and the remaining trucks carry an average of 5 tons each at any one time.
