A Zinc Box is a critical component in Continuous Galvanizing Lines (CGL) within cold rolling mills. It houses the molten zinc bath, ensuring uniform coating of steel strips and sheets during the galvanizing process.
When made from stainless steel (SS material), it offers enhanced corrosion resistance, durability, and thermal stability.
High-temperature resistance: Designed to withstand 500°C – 700°C molten zinc baths.
Corrosion-resistant materials: Typically made from 316L, 317L stainless steel or specialized alloys.
Precision engineering: Ensures consistent zinc coating thickness.
Integrated heating systems: Maintain optimal zinc fluidity for smooth application.
Long service life: Stainless steel construction prevents degradation over time.
Used in Continuous Galvanizing Lines (CGL) for hot-dip galvanizing.
Ensures uniform zinc coating on steel sheets and strips.
Works alongside sink rolls, stabilizer rolls, and air knives to maintain process efficiency.
