Innovative designs and practical experience

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. Its 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.

QED has recently upgraded its proven 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. Its fluidbeds operate from DV=120 to DV=240 and from 1.5t/h to 8.0t/h production with satisfied customers on six continents. The latest development in galvanising furnaces is the advanced recuperative technology mark 4 immersion burner. higher combustion efficiency from a double pass pre-heat design with extended heat-transfer area. This offers dramatically

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 efficiency and to minimise environmental impact, QED has developed the dual loop pressure control combustion system. This system maintains a steady output with precise air-gas ratio. This patented combustion control system is now used on all its multiple burner furnaces.
