Encapsulated Pretreatment Rooms

Optimized Encapsulated Pretreatment Rooms for Superior Surface Preparation

In today’s industrial galvanizing plants, effective surface cleaning is the cornerstone of a durable, high-performance zinc coating. The ANI Metal Encapsulated Pretreatment Room delivers a fully contained, multi-stage chemical treatment environment—ensuring consistent surface preparation while minimizing waste, emissions, and operator exposure.

Why Encapsulated Pretreatment Matters

Before immersion in the hot-dip galvanizing bath, steel components must pass through degreasing, acid pickling, and rinse stages to remove oils, mill scale, and contaminants. An encapsulated pretreatment system provides:

• Complete Containment: Prevents chemical mists and vapors from escaping into the plant atmosphere.

• Consistent Chemistry: Automated dosing and circulation maintain precise bath concentrations and temperatures.

• Water Recycling: Integrated rinse-water filtration and recovery reduce freshwater consumption by up to 60 %.

• Regulatory Compliance: Meets stringent environmental and plant safety regulations, including local air-permit requirements.

Key Features of ANI Metal Pretreatment Rooms

Multi-Stage Modules
Sequentially configured pretreatment pools deliver degreasing, acid pickling, and rinse media with adjustable dipping times for optimal cleaning.

Fully Sealed Enclosure
Acid-resistant walls and ceiling panels, combined with negative-pressure ventilation, capture fumes and direct them into the fume-collection scrubber system.

Automated Chemical Dosing
PLC-driven pumps maintain bath pH and acid concentration to ensure uniform chemical treatment across all parts.

Safety Interlocks & Monitoring
Door interlocks, emergency-stop controls and CFD analysis backed air intake vents protect personnel and ensure safety .

Operational & Environmental Benefits

• Enhanced Coating Adhesion: Consistently clean surfaces yield uniform zinc metallurgical bonding and long-term corrosion protection.

• Reduced Environmental Impact: CFD analysis optimized the placement of pretreatment intake vents to ensure safe and efficient fume capture by scrubber intakes, protecting both personnel and the environment.

• Lower Operating Expenses: Precise dosing and recovery of bath chemicals reduce chemical usage.

• Improved Worker Safety: Contained process and automated controls keep operators away from hazardous acid mists.

• Scalable Design: Modular sections allow easy capacity expansion or process modification without extensive downtime.
