BWG™Plus: save zinc with a thicker wire

Use fewer wires: reduce zinc adhesion during the process

BWG™Plus wire is the technological answer for hot-dip galvanizing plants focused on efficiency and sustainability.
Its thicker diameter (up to 5 mm) makes it possible to reduce the number of wires required for each tie, and therefore the surface area of the knot where zinc is deposited, allowing for significant raw material savings.
At the same time, thanks to its softness and malleability, it ensures ease of use and operational continuity without compromise.

The choice for the most demanding hot-dip galvanizing plants

BWG™Plus is designed for hot-dip galvanizing plants seeking higher productivity and operational continuity. It is the ideal solution for those who want to rely on a safe wire that does not break, protecting operators, while optimizing resources through reduced zinc consumption.

Why choose BWG™Plus?

• Reduced zinc adhesion: a thicker wire means less zinc adhesion, ensuring significant material savings.
• Greater safety: larger knots and enhanced strength reduce the risk of breakage during use.
• Excellent malleability: even at larger diameters, BWG™Plus wire is easy to tie.
• Raw material savings: by reducing zinc adhesion, you achieve both economic and environmental benefits.

[…] The immersion methods of manufactured items in the galvanizing bath imply that approximately 70% of the wire used for this purpose is galvanized at the time of extraction. The zinc remaining adhered to the wires is generally not recovered and is therefore lost. Hence the need to use steel wires capable of limiting the amount of zinc adhering to the wires themselves.
