This week’s photo comes from a customer site, where truss frame conveyors await installation.

These conveyors, complete with one side walkway, were assembled on the ground, prior to erection. A notable feature with this bulk material handling equipment is that instead of being painted, these conveyor frames and walkways were hot dip galvanized.

Hot dip galvanizing provides the underlying steel with added protection from corrosion, despite exposure to the elements. Hot dip galvanizing is a simple technique whereby the product is dipped into molten zinc, creating a coating that protects the metal underneath.
