Reasons for Galvanizing: Coating Durability, Corrosion Performance, Life-Cycle Cost
Components Galvanized: The complete structure of the salt box and frame.
"Alternative base materials such as stainless steel and aluminum cost far more relative to benefit..."
In the past, the Modular Road Salt Spreaders have always been painted, which resulted in a very short service life, high maintenance costs to continuously combat corrosion, and very unpleasant aesthetics, even after only one year of service. This product is an example of how dimensionally larger galvanizing baths are creating important new markets.
Alternative base materials such as stainless steel and aluminum cost far more relative to benefit...
The choice of hot-dip galvanizing was eminently logical from an economical point of view. This equipment is used in the worst possible winter conditions with constant attack from pure calcium and other aggressive de-icing chemicals. Alternative base materials such as stainless steel and aluminum cost far more relative to benefit, and can create undesirable corrosion cells within the truck itself.
