Galvanising

Looking for a way to make your products last longer? Galvanizing is a technique in which a thin layer of metal is applied to an object to protect it from external influences. This prevents corrosion, extends the lifespan of your product, and improves wear resistance. At PTB Machinefabriek, we apply galvanizing as an additional step within a complete production process, such as metalworking or machine construction. In addition to protection, galvanizing also provides a sleek and glossy appearance that enhances the professional look of your final product.

Galvanizing or zinc plating?

The terms galvanizing and zinc plating are often used interchangeably, but they do not mean exactly the same thing. Both methods protect metals against corrosion, extend lifespan, and provide resistance to moisture, chemicals, and wear. The main difference lies in the execution. With galvanizing, a metal layer (such as nickel or chromium) is applied, whereas zinc plating specifically involves applying a layer of zinc. These treatments are particularly suitable for components used in humid or industrial environments, where durability and protection are crucial. At PTB, we assess each project individually to determine the most appropriate method, tailored to the material, application, and desired finish.

Galvanizing within PTB’s production process

At PTB Machinefabriek, galvanizing is carried out as part of a broader process. For example, we manage a complete trajectory in which we are responsible for engineering, machining, and finishing. We offer a single point of contact, short communication lines, and a final product that is technically and visually perfectly aligned with your requirements. We also pay close attention to overall cost efficiency, making the costs of galvanizing transparent and ensuring they fit within a total solution that works.
