CGL - Durchlaufverzinkungsanlage

CGL - Durchlaufverzinkungsanlage
In der Durchlaufverzinkungsanlage (CGL) wird eine Zink- oder Zink-/Aluminium-Beschichtung auf die Oberfläche eines Stahlbands aufgebracht, um die Korrosionsbeständigkeit zu verbessern. 

Nach dem Verzinken wird optional eine Wärmebehandlung durchgeführt, damit die Beschichtung mit der Stahloberfläche verschmilzt. Dies erfordert eine präzise Temperaturüberwachung am Auslauf der Wärmebehandlungszone.

AMETEK Land versorgt seit mehr als 70 Jahren die Stahlindustrie mit hochwertigen, zuverlässigen Temperaturmesslösungen. Unsere Spezialgeräte umfassen das Thermometer für die Wärmebehandlung von verzinkten Bändern (GST), das speziell auf den sich schnell ändernden Emissionsgrad bei der Wärmebehandlung nach dem Verzinken ausgelegt ist.

    Question Answer 
    What is a CGL? A CGL (Continuous Galvanizing Line) is a high-speed production line that applies a protective zinc coating to steel strip by continuously running it through cleaning, heat treatment, a molten zinc bath and finishing operations. CGLs can process strip at speeds exceeding 180 meters per minute and produce millions of tonnes of galvanized steel annually for automotive body panels, appliances, construction materials and other corrosion-critical applications.
    What does CGL stand for? CGL stands for Continuous Galvanizing Line, distinguishing it from batch hot-dip galvanizing processes. The 'continuous' aspect is fundamental—strip is welded end-to-end and processed as an uninterrupted ribbon through all stages, maximizing throughput and coating consistency. This contrasts with batch processes where individual pieces are dipped separately. Major steel producers operate dozens of CGLs globally to meet automotive and construction demand for corrosion-protected steel.
    What are the main CGL steps? A CGL follows a precise sequence: Entry (uncoiler, welder), Cleaning (alkaline cleaning, brushing, rinsing to remove oils), Annealing (heating to ~700-850°C in controlled atmosphere to prepare metallurgy), Zinc Pot (immersion in molten zinc at ~460°C), Gas Wiping (air knives control coating thickness), Cooling, Skin Pass Mill (improves surface finish and mechanical properties), Inspection (surface quality verification) and Exit (coiler). Each stage requires tight process control for quality output.
    Why is temperature control critical? Temperature is the critical control variable throughout a CGL. In the annealing section, precise heating determines steel recrystallization and formability. At the zinc pot, strip temperature affects how zinc wets and bonds to the steel surface—too cold causes poor adhesion, too hot leads to excess intermetallic growth. Deviations of even ±10°C can cause coating defects, surface quality issues and customer rejections. This is why accurate non-contact temperature measurement is essential for CGL yield and quality.
    How do pyrometers help? LAND pyrometers provide accurate strip temperature measurement at critical CGL zones. The SPOT+ GS is optimized for galvanized strip measurement after coating, while the SPOT+ measures bare strip in annealing sections. The SPOT+ MM (Meltmaster) can monitor zinc pot temperature. These instruments deliver the real-time temperature data that process engineers need to maintain coating consistency, optimize line speed and reduce scrap—helping CGL operators achieve first-time quality rates that meet demanding automotive specifications.

    • Auslauf Wärmebehandlung nach Verzinken

      Sobald das Band das Zinkbad verlässt, wird es einer Inline-Wärmebehandlung unterzogen, um die Beschichtung in das Stahlsubstrat zu legieren. Der SPOT GS von AMETEK Land wurde zur Messung dieses Prozesses entwickelt.

      SPOT GS enables automated furnace management to provide close control of the reaction and position of the reaction zone, delivering tighter control of product quality. By maintaining control of the reaction zone, SPOT GS accommodates rapid changes of line speed and furnace power with changes of substrate or coating weight. This allows furnace optimisation; reducing heating costs, maximising throughput and avoiding excessive over-reaction and powdering or flaking of the coating during subsequent forming operations.

      We introduce how advances in accurate non-contact temperature measurements for continuous annealing (CAL) and galvanizing (CGL) lines ensure required metal characteristics and surface conditions are achieved in steel production. We will then focus on the SPOT GS, an advanced non-contact infrared spot pyrometer specifically designed for continuous, highly accurate measurements of coated steel strip temperature during the galvanneal reaction.
