Why Armco Superlite’s Galvanization Process Stands Out in the Industry
When it comes to galvanization, the methods and quality of the process might be the difference between structural failure and the longevity and performance of metal products. At Armco Superlite, we have proven ourselves as a leader in this industry, offering unique and superior techniques that place quality and durability before turnover and profits.
In this article, we take a closer look at what makes our galvanization methods exceptional, showing our commitment to superior quality and service excellence.
Commitment to Quality Management through Expert Galvanization
At Armco Superlite, quality is not just a word thrown around the workplace; it’s one of our foundational principles. To emphasise our commitment, we are listed in accordance with the BSI ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, which ensures that all products and services meet our stringent quality standards. This certification reflects our resolute dedication to continuous improvement, sustained production processes, and service excellence.
If you have a project that requires specifically tailored galvanization requirements, we create original client quality plans. This independent strategy ensures that your unique needs are met, resulting in products that not only meet but often exceed industry standards. This attention to detail has been critical in establishing us as a trusted name in the galvanizing industry.
Continual Adherence to Industry Standards
We proudly hold the SATAS mark of hot-dipped galvanization, a certification that reinforces our commitment to superior-quality processes. Moreover, all our galvanizing operations are conducted in line with SANS 121 / ISO 1461 specifications, recognised globally for their unprecedented standards. This commitment to compliance ensures that customers receive products that are not only reliable but also durable, providing extended value over time.
Moreover, for additional peace of mind, our certificates are readily available upon request. This transparency enhances reliability and trust with our clientele, allowing you to verify the quality and specifications of the galvanizing processes applied to our products.
Cutting-Edge, Modern Facilities
We operate two separate facilities, each strategically designed to deal with different types and sizes of structural steel projects. Our Isando facility, established in 1989, specialises in heavy structural steel with lengths of up to 13 metres. With an impressive average output of approximately 2,000 tonnes every month, this facility is well-equipped to meet large-scale demands while maintaining quality.
To ensure we are able to cater to every client’s needs, our Randfontein facility is geared towards light to medium structural steel, processing individual bits, pieces, and parts with lengths up to 6 metres long. From nuts, bolts, screws and washers to larger steel fittings and fixtures, this facility can produce around 800 tonnes per month, which emphasises our capabilities, regardless of size or function, without compromising on quality.
The advanced technology and equipment used in our facilities contribute significantly to the overall quality of the galvanization process. Each facility is engineered to optimise efficiency and ensure that every item receives the attention it deserves during the hot-dipped process.
Our Focus on Durability and Longevity
One of the most compelling aspects of our galvanizing processes is our focus on durability and longevity. The hot-dip technique we use involves submerging steel components in a bath of molten zinc, creating an almost impenetrable protective layer that guards against rust and corrosion. This process enhances the lifespan of your steel, all while reducing maintenance costs over time. This makes this process an economically sound choice that will last for decades.
The superior durability achieved through our galvanizing makes our products ideal for a variety of applications, from construction and road safety projects to perimeter fencing and manufacturing. Ensuring that the galvanised steel can withstand harsh environmental conditions helps our valued clients avoid frequent replacements and repairs, leading to long-term savings and increased reliability.
If you need galvanization of any product through your project processes, from metal sheeting and corrugated steel to tunnels, culverts, or even the bits and pieces that hold it all together, contact us for a consultation.
