MHD (magneto-hydro-dynamic) galv-
anising technology is claimed to be
the only eco-friendly galvanising
process on the market today.
SunWyre offers economical and
environmentally friendly galvanising
solutions for rod, wire, rebar, pipe and
tubing.
SunWyre’s modern process is for high
or low carbon steel wire rods or wire, 4
to 16mm diameter, moving at speeds
from 1.7 to 5m/sec automatically and
continuously through galvanising and
drawing, non-stop.
The skilful integration of continuous
rod pay-off, blast cleaning, induction
heating, MHD galvanising, quenching,
wire drawing and coiling or spooling,
all managed by touch-screen PC,
provides an efficient continuous
process for galvanised wire
manufacturing.
SunWyre’s proprietary MHD process
offers the following advantages:
• It is energy efficient
• Energy costs to maintain only one
ton of zinc, instead of 50 or more,
are lower than traditional wire
galvanising
• 7kW or less will maintain the pot
temperature when the system is
idle
• Non-polluting
• Uses no acid or flux
• Requires no waste water treatment
system
• Emits no toxic fumes
• Creates no hazardous by-products
• Offers lower operating costs than
traditional hot dip galvanising
• Fewer man-hours are required to
operate the process
• Low nitrogen consumption
compared to conventional gas
wipe methods
The SunWyre MHD process offers an
innovative approach to the production
of galvanised and galfanised steel
wire.
