New generation fromM+E

Many years of development and the adoption of innovative technical solutions has allowed M+E to create its new generation of wet drawing machines, significantly reducing or eliminating many quality and production problems. Operation of M+E wet wire drawing machines at leadingwiremanufacturers and with different wire types confirmed excellent quality and productivity increases compared to traditional machines, while keeping the die wear constant. M+E’s wet wire drawing machines are particularly noted for drawing of the following steel wires: • Brass-coated wire (steel cord, saw wire) • electrolytic or hot dip galvanised wire • stainless steel wire • high quality spring wire

Quality and technical problems overcome through the years ▲

The M+E production range includes machines with 2, 4 or 6 cones with a maximum of 12, 25 or 33 dies for a finished wire diameter down to minimum 0.08mm (0.0031"). The main wet drawing machine characteristics are: • straight wire path, without transfer sheaves • wire drawing only in one direction • high ratio between ring diameter and wire diameter • guaranteed proper wire and dies lubrication during stringing-up • high pressure individual die cleaning system • water-cooled final die and final capstan • robust, anti-vibration steel frame • heavy duty bearings and cone shafts • cone shafts especially sealed to prevent bearings damage • compact design with excellent accessibility during stringing-up • minimum wire slip percentage on cones • AC main motor with slip-proof belt transmission • complete accessibility to all components allowing easy maintenance • completely pre-wired, with incorporated electrical cabinet • enclosed design with interlocked safety guards conforming to the most stringent safety regulations

M+E wet drawing machines are supplied complete with wire pay-off and traditional or full automatic spooler, which can be supplied for taking up wire on vertical or horizontal axis spools. M+E Macchine + Engineering Srl – Italy
