Zinc plating

Would you like to protect your metal product against rust, wear, and external influences? Galvanizing is a technique in which a zinc layer is applied to metal to extend its lifespan and increase its reliability. At PTB Machinefabriek, we apply both hot-dip galvanizing and electrogalvanizing, depending on the material and the application. This process is offered as an additional service within a complete production process, such as machining, machine building, or assembly. For companies looking for professional galvanizing in Groningen and the surrounding area, PTB provides a total solution with quality and control under one roof.

The difference between hot-dip and electrogalvanizing

Hot-dip galvanizing is a dipping process in which metal is submerged in molten zinc. This results in a strong, thick zinc layer that is highly resistant to harsh conditions and mechanical stress—ideal for outdoor use or industrial applications. Electrogalvanizing works through an electrochemical process and produces a thinner, more uniform layer, suitable for finer components requiring a precise finish.

Both methods offer protection against weather conditions, wear, and corrosion. The terms galvanizing and zinc plating are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different techniques. PTB evaluates each project individually to determine which method is most suitable and provides advice on the optimal zinc treatment, tailored to your application and product requirements.

Galvanizing as part of a complete production process

We carry out galvanizing in combination with other processes. For example, PTB can also handle the design, CNC machining, or assembly within the same project. We carefully align the choice of galvanizing method with the material, the application, and the overall cost efficiency of the project. This ensures a technically sound and durable end result, whether you operate in Groningen or beyond.
