Driers and Heat Exchangers

High-Efficiency Driers & Heat Exchangers for Galvanizing Plants

In a modern hot-dip galvanizing facility, controlling moisture and recovering heat is essential for maximizing throughput, ensuring consistent zinc adhesion, and minimizing energy costs. The ANI Metal Driers & Heat Exchangers lineup is engineered to rapidly remove residual water from pickled and rinsed parts, while reclaiming thermal energy from exhaust gases—delivering both environmental compliance and long-term operational savings.

Why You Need Driers & Heat Exchangers

After a part exits the final rinse tank, even microscopic water droplets can cause defects—pinholes, gas blistering, or uneven coatings—when immersed in molten zinc. At the same time, hot exhaust air and steam carry away valuable heat energy. By integrating purpose-built industrial driers and shell-and-tube or plate-type heat exchangers, galvanizing plants can:

• Eliminate water-induced coating flaws for uniform zinc films.

• Reduce furnace heat-up time, thanks to preheated parts and reclaimed exhaust heat.

• Cut fuel and electricity bills through energy recovery.
