ZINC CATHODES

The first stage in production of zinc strips is melting 99.9% pure metal, obtained from cathodes during electrolysis. An automated loading system is used to place the cathodes in the induction furnace, and the molten alloy is prepared in the same furnace or in others by controlled addition of alloying agents. Once the zinc has melted, it is transferred to casting machines where the different commercial forms of zinc and zinc alloys required by the market are produced.
