nish and test systems for nal quality inspection of welding characteristics. The KFP-V system for the removal of misprints on any at or round cable insulation in continuous operation at line speeds of about 50m/min will be of interest to cable manufacturers. Furthermore, producers of tubes will nd a visit worthwhile. Manufacturers of tubes or tube products for the aerospace industry, energy and automotive industry, OCTG, building and construction or medical applications can achieve cleaning results of the outer and – depending on the form, diameter and length – inner surfaces, with custom-tailored solutions in both the continuous in-line operations as well as for nished products. A wide assortment of accessories supplements the product range. In particular, these include powerful and economical air wipes for the drying of wire, cable, strip, ats and other pro les even at high line speeds. For a variety of cleaning operations, inverted spiral brushes are recommended. The brushes are available in a broad range of sizes with a variety of synthetic and metal laments. GEO-Reinigungstechnik GmbH – Germany Website : www.geo-reinigungstechnik.de Gimax Stand: 10B17 Gimax has redesigned its wet drawing equipment, and the traditional “submerged” drawing tank has evolved into the TRS range of non-slip wet drawing units with independently driven vertical capstans, thus combining most of the bene ts of a dry drawing line with a wet one. The result is an example of advanced technology available in wire drawing. The TRS is a “spray” type wet drawbench, where the lubricant is sprayed onto the die and die box and onto the capstan. This range is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous wires, and its reduced footprint, easily accessible parts and components not only o er cost savings in terms of oorspace and labour (operation and maintenance), but are an important aid in decreasing downtime and consequently increasing productivity. High productivity and a better nal wire quality coupled with features such as perfect alignment of wire between die and capstan as well as low energy consumption due to electronic control of motor and line operation go to ensure an advanced drawing solution.

high-pressure nozzles and steam jets, integrated in space-saving in-line systems with uid management, guarantee results in the non-contact and pore deep aqueous cleaning. Mechanical systems with textile materials, such as the cost-e ective and exible wiper primary wire wipe (PWW) are suitable for the reduction of drawing residues and loosely adhering particles as well as for the application of liquids. Systems equipped with rotary brushes (DRB-WCS), for both dry and uid assisted cleaning, complement the options for optimising the surface quality of wires, cables and pipes. Welding wire manufacturers will nd, besides the in-line cleaning after the drawing process, systems for coating with welding wire

The main features are: •

Reduced die and capstan wear

• Mechanical line speed reaches 33 metres/second • Fixed or rotating dies • Rotating die speed varies in proportion to line speed • Each block can be bypassed • Synchronisation by means of dancer arm • Input wire diameter starts at 2mm (steel wire) or 3mm with aluminium wire With 38 years of experience in welding wire machinery and with the speci c experience of Gimax engineers in the production of wire, consequently with an excellent knowledge of the entire process of wire manufacturing, the redesign also led to the introduction of a range of TRD dry drawing equipment, available with vertically or horizontally mounted capstans – non-slip (with independently driven capstans), tilted horizontal capstans, rotating dies, water-cooled capstans, etc. The capstan diameter can vary from 300mm up to 1,200mm depending on the application and diameter of wire, and can reach a line speed of 35 metres/second. Gimax Srl – Italy Website : www.gimaxgroup.com GMP Slovakia produces steel reels, take-apart reels and handling equipment for the wire and cable industry. The company has had the certi cation ISO 9001:2008 for the quality management system since year 2009 and is now also certi ed ISO 14001:2004 for the environmental management system and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for the occupational health and safety management system. The take-apart reels and special equip- ment (tilters, lifters, rolling systems) are CE marked. All the products are high quality and manufactured for long-term durability. GMP Slovakia’s range of products includes not only reels and drums for wire and GMP Slovakia Stand: 10E68
