The modernization of the two HDGLs will focus on furnace and zinc wiping systems, in order to improve the production quality and increase the average production speeds of the line.
The X-Jet rigs will be equipped with the newest version automatic lip-cleaning and automatic gap-width adjustment technologies. Maintenance stands and panels are supplied for off-line testing and calibration of the new X-JET system and for the edge baffles.
The installation will require only minimal line shutdown time. Minimum achievable coating will be 60 g/m2 and 30 g/m2 total on both sides for GI and GL, respectively.
X-Jet and the newly developed Compact X-Jet technology are available on all new and existing HDGL as technological package upgrades, with a return of investment down to one year.
