INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED AS LEADERS IN GALVANISED WIRE TECHNOLOGY

PWT Limited continues to be a leader in the wire industry for reducing the environmental impact of the wire industry on the planet. Its range of technologies and knowhow continue to bring savings and other benefits to many companies around the world. PWT Limited designs and manufactures galvanizing line that can achieve wire DV’s 200+ with Zinc and Zinc alloy products. These lines include single dip ZnAl lines where there is no need to use acids or flux. The lines also enable reduced overall energy consumption and working capital. We provide high efficiency furnaces for low and high carbon wires where the furnaces can operate at high and low temperatures depending on customer requirements.

Our Electromagnetic Wiping (EMW®) is designed to fit existing and new production lines. Now with over 97 systems sold worldwide being used for Zn, ZnAl5% ZnAl10% coatings. In addition, the system is being used to produce flat wires and various shaped wires as used in armouring, roping and other speciality finished products. • Wire diameter range from 0.7mm to 13.5mm. • Wire DV’s range from 30 to over 300. • Typical coating weights range from 130g/m2 to over 800g/m2. • Wire steel grades range from 0.06 carbon to over 0.90 carbon. • Improved alloy benefits of the zinc and steel. • The systems range from 1 to 17 wires.

Galvanising and Single Dip ZnAl Lines

The Lubricant Conditioning Machine is designed to condition used dry lubricant from the wire drawing process. The system works well with calcium, sodium or blended lubricants. Working with good wire drawing practices the system can recover and condition on average 65% of the used lubricant. This allows wire drawers to maintain optimal performance on the wire drawing machines whilst reducing operational costs and minimizing the environmental impact from waste lubricant. To date 71 machines have been sold worldwide providing benefits to our customers.

In addition to PWT Limited’s own in-house capability it works closely with its sister company which specializes in thermal and ceramic products for a wide range of industries. This allows for continuous development and improvement of furnace design to optimize thermal performance and reduce energy costs. In addition, other high wearing ceramic products such as sinkers and wear plates can be readily designed to suit existing and new galvanizing lines. As new materials become available, this allows PWT to test the products and provide the benefits to existing and new customers.
