ABOUT US
PT. Bukaka Teknik Utama – Galvanize Business Unit is
business unit of galvanizing services which established in
1988. It has production capacity up to 45.000 tons per
year, with kettle dimension of 2,5 x 1,9 x 12,6 meters.

In order to expand our business, on October 25, 2017,

we started production at Galvanize Plant II, with a larger
capacity 180.000 tons per year. It has two kettles wit
each dimension of 1,6 x 3,0 x 16,0 meters, which is the
biggest kettle in Asia.

Our quality standard are refers ASTM 123, EN ISO 1461,

and SNI 07.7033, as our commitment to galvanizing products quality.

HOT-DIP GALVANIZING PROCESS

Hot –dip galvanized is dipping process to coat

steel with melting zinc as rust protecting, with
step below:
1. Degreasing (to clear oil, grease in surface
steel).
2. Rinsing Degreasing (to cleare degreasing
residual).
3. Pickling (to clear rusted mill scale)
4. Rinsing Pickling (to clear pickling residual).
5. Fluxing (to conditioning of steel surface).
6. Zinc bath ( to coat steel surface with
melting zinc in 450-460 C.
7. Quenching ( to passivation of zinc coating
to avoid premature oxidize)
DESIGNING ARTICLE FOR GALVANIZING
Prefered designs of articles for hot-dip galvanizing
based on EN ISO 14713 standard.
1External stiffeners, welded gussests and webs
on coloumns and beams and gussets in channel
section should have their corners.
2 4Cross-sections or chord members with ends
For surface in contact, a hole should be drilled,
especially thin steel. Hole size take into account
the area of overlap.
3Narrow gaps between parts, surfaces in flat in
contact, will allow liquid to penetrate but will
not allow a hot-dip galvanized coating .Welded
joints should be continous if they enclose an
otherwise unvented surface. Bolted joints are
preferably made after hot-dip galvanizing.
sealed, should be provided with drilled holes or
V-clothes diagonally opposite each other at the
top and bottom. The minimum holes is 10 mm
diameters, holes in large fabrication should be
about 25% of the diameters of the member.
5The molten-zinc (in the kettle) should drain
freely. The postion of the vent should be
related to the alignment during withdrawal.

8Vents should be diametrically opposite and at

least 55 mm in diameter. Lifting lugs should be
incorporated and should be adequate for axcess
6 mass of molten zinc within the cylinder on
withdrawal.
Vent holes at each end of the fabrications
should be diagonally opposed.

9 When internal bosses are used, a drain-hole

should be included in the fabrication. This may
be plugged after hot dip galvanizing if required.

7
Large open tanks should be braced to minimize
distortion. Flat panels are liable to distort.
