A. Hey,
See dross generation is basically because of the iron particles.What you can do best is check on daily basis that your bath is free from any iron structure that has slipped into the zinc while Galvanizing.You should also check the iron content of the water before flux and after pickling and if possible get it changed as fast as you can and last but not the least your flux solution.See any loose iron particle that goes inside the kettle will create dross.You should always Dross at regular intervals because it will create more dross.

? Sir:
What type of continuous hot dip galvanizing do you do?
I suggest you respond to the following:
1)Describe your kettle furnace design, I suspect that it is not proper. High dross production is often coming from the kettle itself.
2)Describe you drossing methods. A "clam" does not work well.
3)At what temperature do you dross?
4)Are you "wet" or "dry" kettle?
5)What is your dross production relative to production? (e.g. dross/production times 100%)
6)How much dross (in cm) is at the kettle bottom 24 hours after you dross?

ii) Is it up to the mark?
iii) what is the gross zinc consumption in fasteners galvanizing?
