Sanxin’s world class dies at a fraction of the cost

In the manufacture of wire, there are three main costs – raw material costs, labour costs and tooling costs. You cannot do much about the first cost and you can only reduce the second cost by heavy investment in further automation or by moving your plant to a lower cost location.

But it is the third cost – the cost of buying and maintaining your dies – that you can do something about, especially in the area of PCD and diamond wire drawing dies. This is where Sanxin Wire Die comes in. Sanxin offers world class trial dies on obligation-free terms, giving users the chance to compare the dies actual performance in their plant with the performance of their current dies. If the trial dies perform as well as the customers’ current dies but they cost much less, there is significant savings for companies.
