After several years, FIB has now launched a new design of pickling bath that is optimising the aspects of maintenance, tightness control and liquids dragging. The TORNADO pickling comes alive !

The general design of the bath is oriented towards the exploitation of contemporary lines where the running speed of the wires is beginning to lead to problems as far as the dragging of liquids as well as lengths are concerned.

Why "TORNADO"?

TORNADO as far as water is concerned.
A unique system of water fountains with high turbulence is allowing an intense cooling of the wires as well as an extremely efficient rinsing of the pickled wires.

TORNADO as far as acid is concerned.
The injection of acid is made through several slits located under the wire field. These slits being distributed all along the length of the acid plate, a turbulent exchange between the wires to be pickled and the acid is ensured. This allows to permanently have a rate of acid renewal during the whole pickling process.

TORNADO as far as the control of the liquids dragging is concerned.
An internal system for the control of the dragging of liquids from bath to bath is ensured by air knives with high flow incorporated inside the pickling bath. As the system is working in closed circuit, there is no emission of air outside the bath.
