PWT Booth 2678

PWT Ltd is a dynamic research and development business focusing on industrial process technologies for the galvanised wire industries. Working closely with a team of engineers the company has developed technologies such as electro magnetic wiping (EMW) to provide increased production efficiencies, product quality and profits. After nine years of development work in a fully operational wire production plant, the Quantum-EMW system was launched onto the international market in 2003. PWT works with customers based in China, Japan, Korea and North America, and to date, 26 EMW systems have been sold worldwide with two further EMW systems due to be installed in Northern China. EMW systems work with both zinc and zinc aluminium, are easily operated, simply maintained, safe and environ- mentally friendly. EMW can be designed onto new galvanising lines or retrofitted onto existing lines. For new galvanising lines, PWT works closely with the supplier from the early stages of a project so that the EMW system is designed specifically to suit the line arrangements and to also incorporate any particular customer requirement. Ensuring PWT engineers are present from the start guarantees a profes- sional and cost-effective outcome. During the installation and com- missioning process, PWT engineers will train the local operators, provide technical manuals and offer a comprehensive after-sales support package. PWT has an international network of skilled representatives to provide a fast hands-on service. Although based in New Zealand, PWT has a regional office in China and will be opening another in Europe during 2009. Quantum-EMW works with varying wire diameters at various speeds to produce a very smooth concentric surface quality with a coat weight variance of about 15g/m 2 . Quantum- EMW is said to offer significant

Queins Booth 2010

Queins & Co GmbH will present a newly developed heavy duty rotating belt type caterpillar capstan with three- ton pull, contact length of 4,900mm (193"), maximum cable diameter of 140mm (5.5"), specially designed for big armouring drum-twisters.

➣➢➣ PWM’s best-selling HP100 air/hydraulic model can now be supplied in automatic form. The trolley-mounted HP100 auto, which has a capacity of 1mm to 5mm (0.039" to 0.197") diameter copper/aluminium, will operate in normal or automatic mode. Normal mode requires the operator to press a foot pedal four to six times to complete the weld. In automatic mode, the operator simply loads the material, presses a button and the machine does the rest. PWM will also exhibit its M10 and M25 manual machines, ideal for welding fine wire in confined spaces, and the M101 model, which can be bench or trolley-mounted and has a capacity of 1mm to 3.6mm (0.04" to 0.141") copper and 1mm to 5mm (0.04" to 0.197") EC aluminium. Durable, simple to operate and low maintenance, PWM cold welders are precision engineered to provide strong, reliable permanent bonds, helping manufacturers save materials, cut costs and increase productivity. All welders and dies are designed and manufactured in PWM’s own UK workshops, ensuring total quality control and accountability.
