QED AutoCoat™ Coating Weigh Control System

Sustainable Technology for Smart Manufacturing

Proven, Precise, and Sustainable Coat Weight Control

Originally developed through four years of in-house R&D and validated in real-world operations, QED AutoCoat® ensures consistent, real-time control of coat weight using a closed-loop nitrogen wiping system. This results in less zinc waste, more precise coating application, and a reduced environmental footprint. With coating weight accuracy of ±10 g/m², QED AutoCoat® ensures that only the material needed is used, helping manufacturers achieve their sustainability targets while lowering production costs.

Smarter Technology for Greener Wire Production

QED AutoCoat® is a next-generation solution for automatic zinc and Galfan® coating control, engineered for high-speed wire galvanizing lines. Designed with sustainability in mind, it supports reduced material usage and energy consumption. With years of successful in-field performance, AutoCoat® has earned a reputation as a reliable upgrade that delivers tight process control, superior product quality, and measurable cost and environmental savings.
