QED specialises in equipment for
heat-treating, cleaning and coating of
steel wire. Custom designed and built,
its high-speed lines are for galvanising,
Galfan®, patenting, annealing, and oil
temperingprocesses.Combining innovative
design concepts with 30 years’ practical
experience, QED has developed a range
of products and equipment that is both
technologically advanced and ruggedly
dependable.
With a view to improved efficiency and
to minimise environmental impact, QED
developed the dual loop pressure control
combustion system. This system maintains
a steady output and close air-gas ratio. It
now uses this patented combustion control
system on all its multiple burner furnaces.
QED has recently upgraded its fluidbed
technology with proportional, closed-loop
feedback and mass flow controls. The
Siemens PLC-based system provides much
higher thermal efficiency and lower fuel
costs than previous systems. Fluidbeds
operate from DV=120 to DV=240 and from
1.5t/h to 8t/h production.
The latest development in galvanising
furnaces is the advanced recuperative
technology mark 4 immersion burner.
This burner offers dramatically higher
combustion efficiency from a double pass
pre-heatdesignwithextendedheat-transfer
area. Constructed of stainless and high
nickel alloy steels this modularly constructed
burner offers an extended operating
lifespan and reduced maintenance.
In addition to the fuel savings, the new
burner runs with a cooler skin temperature,
providing a more pleasant working and
maintenance environment.
The company also supplies the latest
development in HighTurbulence® pickling
and galvanising technology. The multiple
stage cleaning systems have high
turbulence acid that greatly accelerates
the pickling process. Now with computer
control, nitrogen wiping in galvanising
and Galfan offers significant savings and
accurate coating weights.
