We began a relationship with Tecnar during the early stages of the Galvalibs development to fill a need for real time zinc pot chemistry feedback. Over the years, we have worked closely with Tecnar to upgrade to the latest version of the Galvalibs. Tecnar customer service has been a high priority throughout the entire process and they have made several site visits to ensure proper setup, operation and maintenance of the system. Since the initial commissioning was successful and the Galvalibs proved reliable, we purchased a second system. Tecnar continues to hold customer service as a high priority to ensure we have reliable systems.

Galvalibs 2.0

Modern galvanizing


Modern continuous galvanizing lines require better bath management. We understand that you need accurate, reliable and fast information to achieve high quality coatings for every coil. Over a decade ago, Tecnar pioneered real-time bath chemistry monitoring. Now, with the galvalibs 2.0, we’ve made precise chemistry adjustments, tighter level control and improved dross management easy.

Galvalibs 2.0
Advanced bath management made easy


Achieve high-quality galvanized coil - Produce top-quality coils, time after time, by always knowing your bath dynamics. The galvalibs 2.0 gives your operator the power to quickly adjust to bath conditions, maintain the proper chemistry, stabilize the bath level and verify cleanliness for optimal operating conditions.

Produce more efficiently - No more waiting for laboratory results. The galvalibs 2.0 gives operators instant results to decide what to do and when to do it. For example, aluminum losses are easily limited by pinpointing the root causes of your dross formation.

Easy plant interface - Galvalibs 2.0 is ready for industry 4.0. Data from the sensor can be easily transferred to your network for review, from the operator’s pulpit to the plant’s manager office.
