Wuppermann Adopts New SMS Demag Galvanizing Process
09/30/2008 - Wuppermann Stahl GmbH incorporates SMS Demag’s CVGL (Continuous Vertical Galvanizing Line) process into its hot-dip galvanizing line following completion of a successful test phase.
Following a successful test phase, Wuppermann Stahl GmbH, Germany, has incorporated the CVGL (Continuous Vertical Galvanizing Line) process into its Judenburg, Austria, hot-dip galvanizing line.
Wuppermann is utilizing this innovative process, which was developed by SMS Demag AG, for the development of new zinc alloys.
In addition to a number of quality-related advantages, the CVGL process offers a higher than usual level of flexibility through the ability to quickly change the zinc baths used in the process. For Wuppermann, this flexibility makes it possible to test a great variety of Al-Mgalloyed zinc baths with small volumes of molten metal at very short time intervals, thus allowing the company to determine the best possible product range obtainable with various alloys.
SMS group is, under the holding SMS GmbH, a group of companies internationally active in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the steel and nonferrous metals industry. It consists of the two Business Areas SMS Demag and SMS Meer, which jointly form SMS metallurgy. In 2007, some 8000 employees worldwide generated a turnover of about EUR 3.0 billion.
