Galvanizers splash out on new equipment

23 March 2011

A galvanizing company has unveiled a major upgrade to its facilities that will help to deliver continued high-quality service to customers across the construction, agricultural and engineering sectors.

Pillar Wedge, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing, has invested £65,000 on replacing the flux tank and expanding the pre-treatment area at their plant in Heywood, Lancashire. The tank, which measures 10.8m by 1.6m by 3.29m and has a capacity of 55,000 litres, will play an integral part in the company’s ongoing galvanizing work, where steel is dipped into molten zinc at temperatures of up to 450˚C to provide a long-lasting protective coating against corrosion and rust.

Mark Waters, Commercial Manager of Pillar Wedge, said: “This new tank will make a big difference to the work we can carry out. It’s more heat-efficient and more effective than the previous tank. Continually investing in modern, state-of-the-art equipment and improving our facilities like this enables us to deliver consistently high-quality galvanizing for our customers in a cost and time-efficient manner.”

Wedge Group Galvanizing is one of the largest hot dip galvanizing organisations in the UK with a history dating back over 150 years.  With 14 plants strategically placed across the country, they offer a truly national galvanizing service.
