GALVANIZED COMPONENTS

Hot-dip galvanized steel has been effectively used since the mid-1800’s to prolong the life of building and machine components.

Hydra-Spread uses galvanizing to protect the end-gate, push-gate and beater pan of selected models.

Immersing the welded assembly in molten zinc ensures total protection. Because the process takes place at 700° F, the zinc is literally welded to the steel. Inside surfaces of structural tubes, seams, overlapped components…all are completely covered by a protective layer of zinc.

All of this protection comes at a small price. Because the metal is heated to 700° F there is some unavoidable shape distortion in the sheet metal components - a small price for years of extra component life.

Galvanized components are standard on models 227 thru 2277.
