Working Principle
The shovel is designed to collect dross floating on the molten zinc surface. Its durable construction withstands high temperatures and corrosive environments. Operators use the shovel to carefully remove dross, which is then recycled or disposed of, maintaining a clean and stable zinc bath.
Application in Hot-Dip Galvanizing
Shovels are essential in zinc kettles of all sizes. They prevent excessive dross accumulation, protect the kettle lining, and contribute to consistent galvanizing quality. Combined with automated or manual handling systems, shovels optimize productivity and safety in galvanizing lines.
