Are you trying to find a way to reduce energy bills? Covering liquids in factory tanks can help, but it’s often a challenge. Especially in Galvanizing plants, where metal or plastic parts get coated with corrosion-resistant layers using traditional electrolytic technology. This process is automated for fast, efficient production, but protecting the liquid during this process is tricky.
A fixed, permanent cover might seem like a simple solution. However, such covers block machinery and stop parts from moving freely in and out of tanks. Because parts need constant immersion and removal, permanent covers aren’t practical. As a result, most factories leave tanks open, which causes evaporation, energy loss, and safety risks.
This is where industrial balls come in. These small, lightweight balls form a flexible, low-maintenance cover on the liquid surface. They move aside easily when equipment passes through and then spread back evenly. Once enough balls cover the liquid, they create a barrier covering 91% of the surface, isolating the liquid from the environment and reducing harmful interactions.
First, evaporation causes significant material loss and wastes energy. By simply pouring industrial balls on the liquid, evaporation drops dramatically. If the liquid is hazardous, the balls also cut down on the release of toxic gases and mists. This reduces the need for costly exhaust systems, saving energy and money while improving workplace safety by reducing splashing.
Another major benefit is insulation. The balls act as an energy-saving barrier and can reduce heat loss by up to 75% in heated tanks. Given today’s high energy prices, the cost of buying industrial balls is quickly recovered.
In short, uncovered liquids increase costs, risk, and maintenance. Using industrial balls offers a reliable, affordable solution to cover liquids without interfering with production.
So, are you trying to find a way to reduce energy bills? Consider industrial balls—they save energy, improve safety, and protect your liquid tanks efficiently.
