Line 1 is the longest kettle in South Africa. The line is a general open dip facility, specialising in the galvanizing of long products, such as large bore piping, lighting poles, structural steel and fabricated sections. These sections include plate, girders, purlins, beams, columns and conveyor steelwork.

Line 2 is the widest and deepest galvanizing kettle in South Africa thus offering corrosion consultants, engineers, designers and fabricators much needed flexibility on the corrosion protection of steel. The line is ideally suited to pipe-work, fencing panels, box frames, chutes, staircases, ducting, large vessels and receivers. Products which are less than 3.8m high can be vertically dipped with the possibility of galvanizing taller structures through the double dipping process.

Line 3 is a multi-purpose galvanizing facility. The line is capable of galvanizing pipes ranging from 40mm OD up to 114mm OD in lengths from 4.5 metres up to 7.2 metres. In addition, this line is used to carry out general galvanizing of smaller items. Robor Galvanizers is a long standing member of the Hot Dip Galvanizers Association of Southern Africa (HDGASA). All galvanizing carried out by Robor Galvanizers conforms to SANS 121 (formerly known as ISO 1461 or SABS 763) .
