EOW May 2014

wire Expo 2014

6 – 7 May

Gauder Group subsidiary now promotes the sales of its Pourtier and Setic product range under the name “Pourtier and Setic of America”. This product line includes Pourtier’s successful rigid stranders and drum twisters for producing low, medium and high-voltage cable and conductors, as well as Setic’s large and small double twist bunchers, and a complete line of machines for the production of LAN and special cable. Pourtier and Setic of America – USA Website : www.gaudergroup.com PWM, which celebrates 30 years of service to the wire and cable industry this year, will showcase its comprehensive range of high-performance manual cold pressure welding machines. The products will be presented by Joe Snee Associates, PWM’s exclusive distributor for the USA and Canada. The versatile M101, one of PWM’s best-selling machines, is the largest cold welder on show. Precision engineered to produce strong reliable welds on copper wire 0.04" to 0.141" (1mm to 3.6mm) and aluminium wire 0.04" to 0.197" (1mm to 5mm), the M101 is also used to weld pro les and strips for armouring lines.

Dies are individually hand-made in matched sets, in standard or custom sizes, to suit round or pro le wire. PWM Ltd – UK Website : www.pwmltd.co.uk

QED Booth 335

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 tempering processes. 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 e ciency 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 uidbed technology with proportional, closed-loop feedback and mass ow controls. The Siemens PLC-based system provides much higher thermal e ciency 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 M101 from PWM

Low maintenance and easy to operate, the M101 can be used on a workbench or supplied with a trolley, enabling the operator to move it quickly to the work area. PWM’s hand-held M10, M25 and M30 models, for wire 0.0039" to 0.071" (0.1mm to 1.8mm) diameter, are comfortable to hold and simple to use. The larger BM10 and BM30 cold welders, for use on a workbench, are durable, low-maintenance machines for similar wire sizes. PWM cold welding equipment is designed and made to high quality standards by skilled technicians in PWM’s own UK workshops.

➣➢➣ Constructed of stainless and high nickel alloy steels this modularly constructed burner o ers an extended operating lifespan and reduced maintenance. The latest development in galvanising furnaces is the advanced recuperative technology mark 4 immersion burner. This burner o ers dramatically higher combustion e ciency from a double pass pre-heat design with extended heat-transfer area. ▲ The latest Mk4 advanced recuperative burners on QED immersion burner galvaniser
