Does Indo East do hot dip galvanizing in-house or sub-contract it?
In-house. Indo East operates its own hot-dip galvanizing plant at its Jangalpur works in Howrah, on the same site as its fabrication shop. Galvanizing is not sub-contracted, so fabrication tolerance and zinc coating are controlled by one company against one drawing.
What is the size of Indo East's galvanizing kettle?
The kettle measures 7.0 metres long x 1.2 metres wide x 1.6 metres deep and operates at 450-460 degrees Celsius. Structural members of up to about 7 metres are galvanized in a single immersion.
Do you accept hot dip galvanizing job work from other companies?
Yes. Indo East accepts galvanizing job work from fabricators, OEMs and project contractors in addition to galvanizing its own structures. Material is received at the Jangalpur works, galvanized to IS 2629 / ASTM A123 and returned with a galvanizing report recording coating thickness.
What zinc coating thickness does Indo East achieve?
A minimum of 75-85 microns, in line with IS 2629. Coating thickness is measured on every batch with calibrated dry film thickness (DFT) gauges and recorded in the galvanizing report.
Which galvanizing standards do you work to?
IS 2629 (hot-dip galvanizing of iron and steel), IS 4759 (zinc coating on structural steel) and ASTM A123 for international and export orders.
What is the pre-treatment process before galvanizing?
An eight-stage sequence: alkaline degreasing, water rinse, hydrochloric acid pickling, second water rinse, zinc ammonium chloride fluxing, drying, immersion in molten zinc at 450 degrees Celsius, then quenching and cooling.
What is the heaviest and largest piece you can handle?
The works handles single fabricated pieces of up to 5 tonnes, and annual throughput is over 18,000 MT. Members up to about 7 metres are galvanized in one dip.
Where is the galvanizing plant located?
Jalan Industrial Complex, Gate No. 1, Right Lane No. 6, Jangalpur, NH-6, Howrah 711411, West Bengal, India - directly on NH-6 and about 22 km from Kolkata Port.
What quality records are provided with galvanized material?
A galvanizing report with DFT coating-thickness readings, adherence test result and visual inspection for bare spots, lumps and drips. Third-party inspection by agencies such as BVQI, SGS, Bureau Veritas, DNV and TUV is supported, as is customer-nominated TPI.
How is galvanizing job work quoted?
Against an item list or drawing showing sizes, steel grade, piece weights and quantity. Send the list to info@indoeast.com or call +91 98361 05950 and a quotation is issued on a per-tonne basis.
What is the turnaround time for job work galvanizing?
Turnaround is confirmed at the time of order and depends on batch size and the current load on the line. It is quoted in writing with the rate rather than promised in general terms.
How long does hot dip galvanized steel last?
A hot-dip galvanized structure in an outdoor environment can last 25-75 years with zero maintenance. The zinc coating is metallurgically bonded to the steel, which is why it outperforms paint or spray coatings on adhesion and durability.
What kinds of steel does Indo East galvanize?
Telecom towers and monopoles, substation and transmission structures, railway OHE masts and steel channel sleepers, solar module mounting structures, and general heavy and light structural fabrication in IS 2062 steel.
Is Indo East certified?
Yes - ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety. The company is also NSIC registered and an IEC registered exporter.
