Wire & Cable ASIA – November/December 2007 19
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 consistently 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®.
