Large Parts Zinc Plating
Gatto Industrial Platers Is Now Home to North America’s Largest Zinc Plating Line – King Kong!
After months of anticipation, we are excited to announce that our New Extra Large Parts Line is up and running! King Kong is comprised of the largest zinc tanks in the U.S., capable of processing parts up to 27 feet in length and 8000 lbs. Our new line can zinc plate Extra Large Parts using either a RoHS Compliant Clear Trivalent Chromate or a RoHS Compliant High Corrosion Clear Trivalent Chromate. Our High Corrosion Clear Trivalent Chromate can provide up to 120 hours of protection to white rust and 500 hours to red. Our Clear Trivalent Chromate can provide up to 24 hours of protection to white rust and 200 hours to red. Gatto has over four decades of experience plating large and unique parts.
Due to our Extra-Large tank size (27’ Long X 4’ Wide X 8’ Deep) Gatto can now offer manufacturers an effective alternative to galvanizing and painting for large parts in need of corrosion protection. We have the ability to achieve a uniform finish across parts while still providing exceptional corrosion protection. King Kong also allows us to offer those who are currently manufacturing and designing parts in multiple sections due to limited tank size, a cost effective solution to design and manufacture as one large part. Processing as one part will help companies cut both time and cost.
