New offices for QED
QED Wire Lines Inc has relocated to a
new central office, located between
its Eastern and Western offices, at
5261 Route Harwood, Vaudreuil-Dorion,
Québec, Canada.
The company has also announced
the appointment of Carla Kerkhoven,
whose duties will include handling the
accounting, office management and
spare parts contracts.
The company’s latest contracts include
its first venture into the Chinese market
with Baoan International, a FastHeat™
Fluidbed furnace for a customer in Turkey,
two new galvanising lines for South East
Asia, and a HighTurbulence® pickling
system sold to Iowa Steel &Wire, USA.
QED’s latest FastHeat™ Fluidbed furnace
uses precision flow valves and the
company’s Production Proportional
Algorithm PLC control to provide
both austenitising and annealing heat
treatment. The system gives tight control
of fluidising rates and increased furnace
efficiency.
QED is also supplying its CWC automatic
coating weight control system to a North
American company.
This technology accurately and con-
sistently controls coatings on multiple
wires in high speed process lines.
Using an innovative sensor, computer
interface and flow control valves with
precision nitrogen wiping nozzles, the
system promises improved quality,
higher production and savings on zinc,
aluminium or Galfan®.
