Abstract
A device and method for thermally galvanizing objects, in particular metal objects, includes pretreating an object for treating. The pretreated object is arranged in a flux bath for fluxing of the object and arranged in a zinc bath in order to have the material of the object react with zinc and to apply a zinc-containing layer to the object. The pretreating includes blasting the object with grains so as to remove at least the surface layer.
Claims10
A system for thermally galvanizing an object comprising:
- an overhead track provided with a suspension element from which said object can be suspended;
- drive means for displacing the suspension element along the overhead track;
- one or more shot-blasters for hurling grains in the direction of said object suspended along the overhead track and displaced there-along for the purpose of removing at least a surface layer from said object;
- a flux bath for fluxing said object when it is displaced by drive means along the overhead track through the flux bath;
- a galvanizing bath for thermally galvanizing said object when it is displaced by the drive means along the overhead track through the galvanizing bath;
- and
- a control of the drive means for actuation thereof for substantially uninterrupted transport of said object at a substantially constant speed through at least one of the flux bath or the galvanizing bath.
