for the construction industry. Domestic fence manufacturers that work for USA military installations, border control applications, municipalities, and many more use the equipment. The company o ers manufacturing capabilities for fencing products utilised in perimeter security, construction, mining and agri- cultural settings. Bergandi occupies a manufacturing facility located in Ontario, California, USA, approximately three miles from Ontario International Airport. The company has a long history of research and development activities and presently owns four patents covering equipment speci cally designed for the fencing industry. With over 85 years of experience in designing and manufacturing machinery, Bergandi o ers a wide range of wire forming, processing and welding equipment. Its primary customer base encompasses the fencing, construction, mining and agricultural industries. Blachford Corporation is a wire lubricant and speciality chemical supplier. Based in the USA and Canada, Blachford has been supplying the global wire drawing industry and many of the world’s largest wire drawing companies since the 1950s with cost e ective, meticulously researched, and innovative wire drawing lubricant programmes tailored to the exacting technical speci cations of individual wire drawing processes. When the wire industry needed assistance to reduce and control dust, Blachford responded with chemically modi ed dry drawing lubricants designed to help address the problem.

standard dry lubricants so they have a lower tendency to break up and become airborne. All of these attributes have been designed into Blachford’s low dust dry lubricants to help its customers meet the demands of dust control. This is only one example of Blachford’s capability to create innovative products that meet the needs of the overall wire drawing industry.

Boockmann Engineering Stand: 09C34

Boockmann Engineering GmbH will exhibit the new 2016 models of its Helilub® technology for precision solvent- free lubrication of magnet wire, and the 2015 models of Helicord® machines for surface processing of wire and cable, such as welding wire nishing or removal of misprints from cable. The new Helilub models are also suitable for non-abrasive cleaning applications on wire of diameters below approximately 0.2mm. Both types of machinery were recently redesigned to be more robust and operator-friendly, and will be on display on the stand. Another exhibit diversifying Boockmann‘s product range will be its multi-wire cleaning machine, designed speci cally for use in multi-wire lines, where space limitations do not allow using Helicord machines.

The result is a wide range of over 500 customised bow designs – as well as the exclusive and patented GreenBow2 enabling energy savings. All are available for more than 25 well-known brands of double twist machines (560-2,500mm) such as Cortinovis, Lesmo and Nieho . BowTechnology – France Website : www.bowtechnology.com

BWE Stand: 11G26

This year marks the 40 th anniversary of BWE’s Conform™ continuous extrusion technology. In 1976, BWE Ltd (formerly Babcock Wire Equipment) was awarded the rst and original patent licence to develop, manufacture and supply Conform™ machines to the market. Many of the initial installations are still in production today, which is testament to the quality and reliability of the ‘original’ Conform machine and BWE’s on-going technical support.

On the material side, Boockmann made new developments in welding wire nishing, using fully wax-impregnated cords with a special separating component, that prevents accumulations of metal particles in the liner and contact tip. These newly developed materials also allow welding wire nishing at high production speeds. A demonstration of Boockmann‘s materials and technology can also be given at its facility in Bad Bocklet, Germany, during the weekend and the week following wire 2016, by prior arrangement. Newmodels will be on display from Boockmann ▲

Blachford’s low dust dry lubricants reduce dust creation in multiple ways. They are more adhesive than standard dry lubricants and therefore are less likely to detach from the wire; more exible than standard dry lubricants and have a lower tendency to shatter when the wire bends around pulleys or capstans; and the feathers are more cohesive than ▲ A brief glance through the history of Blachford Corporation
