Digital solution to improve coating performance
The project focuses on the installation of a new model of pneumatic knife designed according to a performance-based contract. This advanced system fully automates the wiping process, allowing precise adjustment of coating parameters. By stabilizing the weight of the zinc coating during transitions, the model helps to limit overlap, reduce zinc usage, and improve surface quality.
According to Rui Gonçalves, Maintenance and Investment Manager at Lusosider, the new technology will provide greater control over the zinc electrolysis cell area, especially during transition periods. "This solution will significantly reduce zinc consumption and prevent quality problems," he said.
