	Small components such as fasteners can be galvanised by a similar process. They are loaded into perforated cylindrical steel baskets and lowered into the bath. Upon removal, they are rotated at high speeds for 15-20 seconds in a centrifuge which throws off excess zinc and maintains the integrity of the components.
