Spartan® Hexagonal Floats: applications

In metal finishing processes, during stripping, chlorination, sealing and rinsing with hot water, there is huge heat loss. Our insulating Spartan® Hexagonal Floats guarantee a large reduction in heat loss and large savings in energy costs.

For an average sized plant the cost savings cover the outlay on floats within one month.

Spartan® Hexagonal Floats: description

Spartan® Hexagonal Floats are made from expanded polypropylene and are suitable for use up to 100°c. They are resistant to all chemicals used in metal surface treatment except for chromic acid.

This is an insulation solution which avoids splashing during the immersion of components. The smooth sides of our Spartan® Hexagonal Floats form a close-fitting ‘blanket’ and, during immersion, the components open a path for themselves without disturbing the rest of the floats. The floats do not block entry into the tank and they settle back into place after immersion.

Unlike the industry’s hollow balls alternative, Spartan® Hexagonal Floats only need a single layer to cover the whole tank.

We make them in two sizes: 50mm and 100mm across the flats.

Per square metre, you need:
400 x 50mm Spartan® Hexagonal Floats
130 x 100mm Spartan® Hexagonal Floats

During removal of components from the tank Spartan® Hexagonal Floats do not jump out of the tank and are not lost underneath the tank or under the feet of operators. They offer effective means of eliminating the vapour cloud that hovers over the uncovered surfaces. Emanations of harmful acids which do damage to installations and buildings are reduced, and foul odours are also suppressed.
