GALVANIZED SHEET STEEL: John Summers' New Continuous Production Line

Abstract

Increased demand for galvanized sheet and coil steel has led a major firm in this field to install a continuous hot‐dip galvanizing line at its Shotton works near Chester, increasing their production capacity by 50%. Incorporating the latest advances, which include an entirely new method of cooling the coil and sheet within the furnace, the line is highly automated and has a top speed of 150 ft./min. It is the fourth to be installed at Shotton.
