fumes are emitted and the pneumatic, air/ hydraulic and electro/pneumatic models are economical and energy efficient. The range includes small hand held models with capacities from 0.10mm (0.0039") dia- meter, ideal for welding fine wire in confined spaces, up to the powerful electro/pneumatic EP500 rod welder, which has a capacity of 0.197" to 0.492" (5.00mm-12.5mm) copper and 0.590" (15.00mm) aluminium. ➣➢➣

The company also provides high speed cleaning and descaling solutions with the HighTurbulence® Pickling System. Constructed of quality composite materials, this fumeless system provides an environmentally friendly replacement for older baths. The patented special nozzle configuration produces highly turbulent acid throughout the processing tray that greatly accelerates the pickling process, permitting much shorter immersion lengths. Together with energy-efficient ceramic-lined immersion burner galvanising furnaces, QED offer advanced wiping systems. Both vertical pad wiping and the latest generation Nitrogen wiping systems are available in modular units, assuring high wire speeds and production flexibility.

QED Booth 1938

QED specialises in equipment for heat-treating, cleaning and coating of steel wire. Custom designed and built, the high speed lines are for galvanising, Galfan®, patenting, annealing, tyre cord and bead and oil tempering processes. Combining innovative design concepts with more than 25 years’ experience, QED has developed a range of products and equipment that is both technologically advanced and ruggedly dependable. The FastHeat™ Fluidbed offers increased furnace efficiency with a newly developed ‘Production Proportional Algorithm’ on the PLC controlled furnaces. The algorithm provides tighter control of fluidisation rates in proportion to changing production loads. This latest development compliments an aready excellent furnace package that leads the industry in design and reliability. QED’s fluidbeds offer many advantages including lower maintenance and less heat loss, improved combustion and a much better sand return system. QED has also been developing a heat-recovery system for direct fired multiple-burner austenitizing furnaces that will lower fuel consumption. Combined with the patented ‘Combustion Air Pressure Control System’, this technology offers distinct advantages over the traditional high carbon patenting furnaces.
