FIB and Bridon – a
successful collaboration
Bridon International, a technology leader in the production
of steel wire rope, is upgrading its equipment at the Doncaster
Wire Mill in order to increase production and capacity.
Reiterating its confidence in FIB Belgium, Bridon International
has called on the supplier of industrial furnaces for the
manufacturing and commissioning of a new austenitising open
fire furnace. This state-of-the art component, equipped with
the latest safety technology, was commissioned at the start of
September 2012.
Thanks to the collaboration between FIB Belgium and Bridon
International, the assembly and commissioning of the furnace
were completed in record time, in order to minimise downtime
of the Bridon production line.
• Chinese company Sichuan Ruiyu Photovoltaic Materials
(ReneSola Group), a leading producer of solar wafers, is using
two patenting lines from FIB Belgium with Ecoquench fluidised
bed to produce sawing wires.
The results are expected to lead to an increase in production for
the company in the near future.
FIB Belgium is a leading supplier of patenting lines within the
framework of sawing wires. New induction solutions are also
available for the diffusion process, both in steel cord and in the
scope of sawing wires.
