QED’s FastHeat™ Fluidbed

QED’s FastHeat™ Fluidbed furnaces incorporate innovative and cost effective design features in a robust structure. Our interlaced air-gas distribution manifold (patent pending) provides a burner system with unparalleled fluidization characteristics. This design eliminates the high capital cost and history of maintenance problems that are associated with the ceramic tiles used on older furnaces. Our new injected fuel system permits the use of a variety of gases, while eliminating flashback problems.

Another feature of QED’s fluidbed design is our “labyrinth seal” threading slot that combines easy wire threading with a positive dynamic seal. The older threading slot designs use curtains or doors that are subject to high maintenance costs and increased heat losses.

The goals of lower maintenance costs and smoother operations have also led to our reworking of the traditionally problematic sand return system. QED’s double sand return is driven by special eductors with directional changes through vortex elbows and distribution boxes. All components combine high wear resistance with efficient sand conveying.

Not satisfied with only these changes, ours engineers have come up with other innovative designs including:

QED’s fluidbeds are designed for high wire speeds and custom built to suit your production. Our dedication to quality assures that every operational detail has been considered, right down to the pneumatic operated doors that are designed to save heat energy and operator's time.
