Wipe off zinc and zinc aluminum excess during galvanizing processes

 Wipe off zinc and zinc aluminum excess during galvanizing processes

PWT Limited, wire mill solutions provider based in New Zealand, has developed a new system to wipe off the excess of zinc and zinc aluminum during galvanizing operations: Quantum™ EMW™ electro magnetic wiping system. A wide range of wire products can be processed: from wire for mesh to roping wire and PC wire.

The Quantum™ EMW™ system, developed and refined for 10 years before being launched on the international market, was designed with the idea of providing a high speed wiping system suitable with all carbon grades - from 0.06 to over 0.90 and wire sizes from 0.08to 8.0mm.

As most of the installation can be accomplished when the line is still running, customers will have a minimal interruption in their production capability. The Quantum™– EMW™ wiping head requires extremely low maintenance and supervision during production. The operator is only required to clean the surface of the zinc inside the Quantum™ EMW™ system every two hours, when he can also make a visual check of the wire alignment.

The system is noise free, clean and safe, and of course, it complies with the International health and safety standards.
