The QT story
The IRON propeller pump, known under
its type name QT, was, like many of the
products contained within the Maskinfabriken IRON A/S product-program,
developed to suit the needs of a valued
Customer.
In this case the customer was the Danish
State Railways (DSB), who in 1954 was
facing problems, when designing a new
type of Railroad ferries. The problem
was that the ferry, when loading the
trains onboard, would list more than allowed in order to continue the loading
process. Consequently a simple and reliable system for overcoming this problem
was needed.
IRON, being a long time partner and supplier to DSB, was asked to investigate
the possibilities and the QT pump, a
QT400, was designed and successfully
installed onboard M/F Kong Frederik IX.
Through the Years the QT design has
been improved and the range enlarged to
meet the ever increasing demands of the
Marine Industry.
