Galvatech’s zinc recovery system makes in-house recovery a viable option for galvanizers and zinc processors. This system is a thermo-mechanical device that separates free zinc from material mixtures and top dresses. The system is able to recover nonferrous metal from industrial process wastes and top dresses, including: hot-dip skimming’s and dust, continuous galvanizing top dross and primary and secondary zinc refining operations. The recovered zinc is both technically and commercially acceptable for direct reuse into the process, and any zinc oxide (ZnO) residues can be sold. This system has a capacity for 750 kilograms of skimming’s.
