Paramount Die will exhibit a full range of wire drawing dies and related equipment. Featured products include the TR-series carbide drawing inserts, shape dies, extrusion dies, polycrystalline diamond dies, ParaLoc™ pressure and non-pressure holders, and accessories.

firing also offers a higher turn-down ratio, lower NOx emissions, and more flexibility in burner and zone control. An S7 Siemens PLC is at the heart of its furnace control systems. Programmed with user-friendly software and advanced combustion algorithms, the furnace control delivers precision gas flow and accurate temperature control. Among other developments is a web-enabled system for smartphone monitoring and remote troubleshooting of control panels.

QED Wire Lines Inc Stand: 12A30

QEDspecialises inequipment for in-lineheat- treating, cleaning and coating of steel wire. Its leading-edge furnaces are custom built for multi-strand annealing, stress relieving, patenting and tempering processes. With patented flow technology, its fluid systems integrate cleaning efficiency with high wire speeds. QED’s rugged liquid metal furnaces apply heavy and commercial coatings of zinc, aluminium and Galfan ® . With a bed of fine aluminium oxide particles and precise air and gas control, QED’s fluid bed furnaces offer an environment-friendly heat-treating solution in an energy-efficient package. The fluid bed’s rapid heat transfer results in a shorter furnace length, providing more compact and easier-to-operate process lines. The addition of pulse-firing technology to QED’s muffle tube austinitising furnace improves the thermal efficiency and increases temperature uniformity, due to the higher average flame velocity and superior convective heat-transfer.

S S Sophisticated control on tempering fluid bed

With a view to improving efficiency and minimising environmental impact, QED developed the dual loop pressure/ temperature combustion control system. This patented system maintains a steady output with precise air-gas ratio on all of the company’s multiple burner furnaces. The latest development in ceramic- lined furnaces is the Mark 4 advanced recuperative technology immersion burner. This burner offers higher combustion efficiency from an extended double pass pre-heat design. Constructed of stainless
