About GEWA Anlagenbau
GEWA Wärmetechnische Anlagen GmbH, based in Lähden, is a full-range provider for thermal technology specializing in plants for hot-dip galvanizing plants. The portfolio includes galvanizing furnaces as the core of the plant, enclosures to protect employees from emissions and zinc splashes, continuous and chamber dryers, heat recovery systems, and control and visualization technology. The complete thermal technology is designed and manufactured in-house, and the individual components are coordinated with one another to increase overall efficiency and conserve resources. Built in a robust, maintenance-friendly design, the company's first plants are still in operation after more than a quarter of a century. In addition to plant construction, GEWA offers services such as wall thickness measurement using ultrasonic technology, kettle changes including intermediate storage of liquid zinc, maintenance contracts and 24-hour service. The complete handling of engineering, project management, manufacturing, assembly and commissioning is provided from a single source; for overseas projects, a modular, container-compatible structure of the plants is possible.

Additional services
Quality
The plants are manufactured in a robust, maintenance-friendly design with high-quality insulation. Ultrasonic measuring technology is used to measure the wall thickness of galvanizing kettles during ongoing operation; maintenance contracts include, among other things, flue gas analysis, leak testing and inspection of safety equipment.
