QED Booth 335

a steady output and close air-gas ratio. It now uses this patented combustion control system on all its multiple burner furnaces. QED has recently upgraded its 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. Fluidbeds operate from DV=120 to DV=240 and from 1.5t/h to 8t/h production. The latest development in galvanising furnaces is the advanced recuperative technology mark 4 immersion burner. This burner offers dramatically higher combustion efficiency from a double pass pre-heatdesignwithextendedheat-transfer area. 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. The 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 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 temperingprocesses.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.
