We understand what it takes to operate a successful galvanizing plant. Plant performance is determined from factors including, plant layout, equipment selection, technical knowledge & much more.

We understand these factors and ensure all elements are factored into the project and operational planning. We also provide on-going support to help ensure the plant achieves the objectives initially established for it.

Hunter Galvanizing Plant 1 Upgrade

After 19 years of service, Hunter Galvanizing Renewed their current galvanizing furnace to a new Modupulse Velocity™ galvanizing furnace.

With these upgrade kettle corrosion and gas usage was of high importance in which Kingfield Targeted there design towards improving along with more important elements.

 

Through new firing technology, Hunter Galvanizing is saving approximately 25% of there gas bill prior to the new furnace upgrade whilst production never relies on the zinc temperature due to the PLC technology.
