We proudly announce the launch of the new and innovative galvanic line in the Gargallo factory, a technological leap that raises both the quality of the aesthetic treatment of the product and the commitment to the environment.

Every detail has been designed to save energy and reduce environmental impact: from the thermal insulation of the heated tanks with automatic lids to the solutions for the treatment of wastewater, specifically to allow their re-use.

The new galvanic line was designed by dividing the space into two macro areas: the first where the "magic" of the actual galvanic process takes place with a highly automated system, while in the second we take care of the water, which thanks to an advanced purification system allows its re-use, limiting withdrawal and waste.

The purification system ensures continuous and efficient production of the galvanic line, using less than 1000 liters of water per hour in new withdrawal. A galvanic plant comparable in size and production capacity would use at least seven times as much, with a daily consumption close to 50,000 litres.

Our previous galvanic plant, which was a third of the new one in size and capacity, consumed the same amount of water. The new investment, therefore, not only reduces consumption, but has allowed us to increase production, demonstrating that sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand.

We have set up the new galvanic line to deposit a double nickel treatment on the taps, both semi-bright and shiny, an additional layer compared to the traditional methods in the sector, to guarantee the best corrosion resistance performance on our parts.

To respond to the growing demands of international markets, increasingly attentive to sustainable production but sensitive to quality, we are now also able to manage the deposition of trivalent chromium in traditional coloring alongside and, eventually, replacing hexavalent chromium.

The new galvanic line, an automatic 4.0 system, governed by an efficient management software, not only improves production, but is an example of how the industry can operate in a more sustainable way.

Each tank containing heated liquids is equipped with a system of automatically opening and closing lids which reduce energy dispersion by almost 30%.

To carry out the galvanic process we make use of the help of various robotic systems for lifting and moving the bars, reducing the physical effort of the operators and limiting their contact with the chemical process tanks.

The entire structure is built on a large PVC containment platform, to prevent any spills into the environment.

Our commitment to minimizing the negative impacts on the health of operators and the environment is also achieved through a powerful air and wastewater purification plant, which is treated in the purification area so that it can be re-used, releasing it into the environment only a small part.

With this innovative galvanic installation, CRISTINA Rubinetterie confirms itself as a leader in the sector, not only for the quality of the innovation of its products, but also for its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

This plant is a fundamental step towards a greener and more sustainable future, strengthening our ambitious mission “From Yellow to Green .
