Abstract
A vertical type electro-galvanizing apparatus, which comprises: a U-shaped electro-galvanizing tank including a first vertical path (12) at a steel strip inlet side, a second vertical path (13) at a steel strip outlet side and a horizontal path (14) for communicating the lower end of the first vertical path (12) to the lower end of the second vertical path (13); a first conductor roll (2), arranged above the first vertical path (12), for directing a steel strip (5) downwardly into the first vertical path (12) and applying electricity to the steel strip (5); at least one sink roll (3, 3'), arranged in the horizontal path (14), for upwardly reversing the travelling direction of the steel strip (5); a second conductor roll (4), arranged above the second vertical path (13), for directing the steel strip (5) upwardly from the second vertical path (13) and applying electricity to the steel strip (5); at least one first electrode plate (6, 6) arranged in the first vertical path (12); at least one second electrode plate (7, 7) arranged in the second vertical path (13); an electro-galvanizing solution supply pipe (17) arranged at a top portion (15) of the first vertical path (12) and/or a top portion (16) of the second vertical path (13); and at least one electro-galvanizing bath discharge pipe (18) arranged at the top portion (15) of the first vertical path (12) and/or the top portion (16) of the second vertical path (13).
