Bottle Pasteurising Plant
Metallisation system ZN6 has been used to provide an anti-corrosive protection on a Guinness Bottle Pasteurising Plant, designed and built in the UK, for commission in West Africa. The plant will treat 15,300 bottles per hour, and the very humid conditions created by the ambient atmosphere plus the steam generated by the pasteurising process produce particularly corrosive conditions. System ZN6 has been applied to the inside of the main-stream heating tank and to all internal surfaces of the plant. The full advantages of positive cathodic protection is given to surfaces being treated will ensure that the Guinness Bottling Plant will have a long and effective service life. ZN6 = 150 microns of Zinc spray.
