Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

In numerous industrial processes, achieving a pristine and contaminant-free metal surface is paramount. From the automotive industry to construction and beyond, effective surface preparation ensures optimal performance, durability, and aesthetics. At the heart of this crucial step often lies the pickling tank. But how exactly does this seemingly simple tank transform raw metal into a perfectly clean substrate? Let's delve into the fascinating pickling tank working principle.

A pickling tank is used to clean metal surfaces.
It contains acid solutions like hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
Metal parts are dipped into the tank for treatment.
The acid reacts with rust, scale, and oxides on the metal.
These impurities dissolve, leaving a clean surface.
Some tanks use agitation for better cleaning.
After pickling, the metal is rinsed with water.
It may also be neutralized or passivated to prevent corrosion.
The tank is made from acid-resistant materials for safety and durability.

Types of Pickling Tank

We offer top-quality pickling tanks in India , galvanizing, acid storage, pretreatment, and complete galvanizing plants. These products are made to fit different industrial jobs. Our tanks are built strong, so they last a long time and can handle tough chemicals and rough environments.

Pickling Tank:A pickling tank is a container for cleaning metal surfaces by eliminating rust, scale, and oxides with acid solutions. It is widely utilized in metal processing industries prior to coating or further treatment.
Acid Fume Extraction System: An acid fume extraction system is intended to catch and remove hazardous fumes and vapors produced by acid-based industrial operations like as pickling, electroplating, and chemical etching. It protects workers and the environment by filtering and venting these corrosive gases.

Pickling Plant:A pickling plant(pp) cleans metal surfaces using acid to remove rust, scale, and oxides. It prepares the metal for further steps such as galvanizing, plating, or painting.
Zinc White Fume Extraction System The Zinc White Fume Extraction System is intended to catch and remove white zinc oxide fumes produced during hot-dip galvanizing or zinc melting processes. In industrial settings, it aids in the preservation of air quality, the safety of workers, and the prevention of equipment corrosion.

Pickling Tank: Principles of Process Design

The design of a pickling tank is based on basic concepts that assure effective, safe, and efficient metal surface treatment. It must be manufactured from acid-resistant materials such as polypropylene or HDPE to withstand corrosive chemicals used in the pickling process. The dimensions and volume of the metal components to be treated dictate the size and shape of the tank, enabling complete immersion and consistent cleaning. Maintaining operating safety and durability requires appropriate drainage, ventilation, and support structures. To improve process efficiency and environmental compliance, the system design should also incorporate features for fume extraction, acid circulation, and simple maintenance.
