Wire & Plastic Machinery Corp 09 E20-3 Wire & Plastic Machinery was founded in 1981 as a dealer of pre-owned non ferrous wire and cable machinery. The range of services offered includes reconditioning of machinery (including commissioning at the customer’s plant site), equipment brokering, plant liquidations, worldwide sales and support. The company has eight warehouses in the USA, with more than 30,000 items in inventory. The total covered area is three million square feet. In addition, the company has three complete reconditioning centres with modern machine shops. Staffed with mechanical and electrical engineers with more than 100 years of combined experience, the engineering team is able to offer reconditioned solutions from individual items to complete plants. In-house capabilities include machining centres and an electronics department that has experience of the latest

generation AC vector drives, PLC programming and HMI interfaces. The commissioning engineers travel the world for start-up, commissioning and trouble-shooting. All rebuilt equipment is supplied with a one-year warranty. For rebuilt equipment, the machine is fully disassembled; all bearings and worn parts are replaced, and new drives are installed.

For machinery listed as “checked-out operational”, Wire & Plastic selects and tests equipment to make sure all components are in good running order. The machine is cleaned and painted after being thoroughly inspected, but is not usually dismantled. Any worn or broken components are replaced. Existing drives are utilised, but if any problems are found in the electrics, the components will be replaced at additional cost. The company also sells some equipment in “as is” condition. Recent acquisitions include multiple machines specifically for the production of Category 5, 5E, 6 and 7 pairs. Wire & Plastic Machinery Corp www.wireandplastic.com
