SunWyre’s clean galvanising solutions

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 environ- mentally 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 over traditional hot dip galvanising: • 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. The process creates a wire with superior formability and corrosion resistance and is non-polluting and energy efficient. Capital and operating costs are lower than traditional hot dip galvanising.
