Equipment for Pickling Lines
Continuous steel wire and strip processing.

Product Overview
Our Automated Equipment for Pickling Lines is designed for the steel wire, tube, and strip industries to efficiently remove surface impurities and scale. These lines feature corrosion-resistant PP/FRP pickling tanks, fume extraction systems, and acid heating units. We offer both push-pull and continuous loop designs that optimize acid consumption and ensure a uniform, high-quality surface finish on metal products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries regarding design, sizing, compliance, and deployment.
What is the difference between push-pull and continuous pickling?
Push-pull lines move batches of wire/strip through tanks mechanically — suitable for moderate throughput. Continuous loop lines feed material at line speed through the tanks for high-volume, uninterrupted production.
Do you integrate fume scrubbing with the pickling line?
Yes, every pickling line we supply comes with an integrated fume extraction and wet scrubbing system to capture and neutralize acid fumes at source.
Can you supply pickling lines for stainless steel?
Yes, we supply HNO₃/HF mixed-acid pickling and passivation lines for SS tube, wire, and strip with appropriate material selection (PVDF lining, special alloys).
