It is part of the Paint Line

Description

The cleaning section is an essential part of a metal coating line, as it prepares the metal surface for the coating process. This section is responsible for removing any impurities, oils, or residues from the surface of the metal, ensuring a clean and smooth surface for the coating to adhere to.

Purpose

The main purpose of the cleaning section is to ensure the quality of the final product by removing any contaminants that may affect the adhesion or appearance of the coating. It also helps to improve the durability and corrosion resistance of the coated metal.

Equipment

The cleaning section consists of two cleaning/pickling tanks (Cleaning Tank 1 and Cleaning Tank 2) that clean the strip, and two rinse tanks (Rinse Tank 1 and Rinse Tank 2) that remove the residue left from the cleaning process.

Process

The cleaning process in a metal coating line typically follows these steps:

  1. Pre-cleaning: The metal is inspected and any large debris or contaminants are removed manually.
  2. Pickling: The metal is then dipped into the pickling tank to remove any rust or scale.
  3. Rinsing: The metal is rinsed with water to remove any remaining chemicals or residues.
  4. Drying: The metal is dried to remove any moisture from the surface.

Importance

The cleaning section is crucial in a metal coating line as it ensures the quality and durability of the final product. Without proper cleaning, the coating may not adhere properly to the metal surface, leading to defects and lower quality. It also helps to prevent corrosion and prolong the lifespan of the coated metal.

In addition, a well-maintained cleaning section can also improve the efficiency of the coating process by reducing the need for rework or touch-ups.
