The “Shivas” Fumeless Acid Turbulent
Pickling System eliminates all fume concerns.
The "shivas" fumeless acid turbulent
pickling system is designed to introduce an hydraulic jump of acid counter
flow against the direction of wire. This unique technology increases the
effectiveness of the pickling acid by effectively disturbing the laminar
flow layer, which normally surrounds the wire in a static acid pickle and
reduces the length of pickling bath.
Through the introduction of an active turbulent component into the cleaning
system, the "shivas" fumeless acid turbulent pickle can be
designed to offer the following improvements over static acid pickle systems
and other closed systems :
- Shorter pickle length
- Greater cleaning
effectiveness
- Greater cleaning efficiency
- Greater possible wire speeds
- Reduced tank cleaning time
The “Shivas” Fumeless Acid Turbulent
Pickling System disturbs the laminar flow around the wires and allows the
highest concentration of acid to work on the wire scale
The overall cleaning system consists of three separate tanks
- A water quench tank
- A fumeless pickling tank
- Complete with water
curtain section
- Acid section
- Three (3) rinse sections
- A flux tank.
A triple rinse section follows directly after the acid turbulent
cleaning section. This flood weir and water curtain section ensures that the
wire is cleaned of acid and that the system is fume sealed at the exit end.
Fresh water is added to the last tank of the three (3) rinse tanks on a
constant basis at a rate of approximately 15 liters Per Minute through a
ball valve in the fresh water line The water from the last rinse tank will
overflow into the second tank which, in turn, will overflow into the first
tank. The first tank will overflow into water curtain reservoir and then to
drain and /or to the neutralizing system.
