Drawing machine with stabilizing unit

Application

The line is suitable for the production of heat treated prestressed concrete wires with plain or profiled surface and low relaxation. Starting with wire rod, the finish product i.e. either coils or bars, is manufactured “in-line”. The finish product conforms to all standards set by German and International standard authorities.

Mode of operation

  • By means of the very large capstans of 1.200 mm dia. On the drawing machine, the wire will be cooled down in a very short distance of time to abt. 50 to 60° C after leaving of the drawing die; thus providing the required high quality standard of the finish products
  • Traversing induction furnace for increase of quality and productivity
  • Use of 2 individually driven, V-grooved capstans of 4.000 mm dia. on the stretching unit, thus providing a very straight wire or bar with deflection of
    < 1 mm/m
  • Automated operation for the production of coils by use of double take-up collectors with wire cutter installed in front and automatic switch-over after cutting
  • Automated operation for the production of bars by use of a looping floor and intermediate accumulator at the bundling station of the bar cutter
  • Rectangular and burr-free cutting of bars by using cutter bushes
  • Safety devices for the total unit according to UVV/VBG7E and characterizing to CE-standard
