rolling cassette specifically designed for high carbon wire production. The cold rolling process, due to a lower friction coefficient and an innovative wire lubrication system, generates less heat thereby lowering wire temperature during the reduction process. All recent Eurolls wire drawing lines have been supplied with the possibility to adopt this new cold rolling system. Furthermore, these same new lines have not only an improved capstan cooling system but also benefit from the development of a new internal coating specifically studied by Eurolls R&D. This internal coating ensures a reduced formation of deposits and rust while guaranteeing an increase in heat transmission (the same cooling capacity but with a lower quantity of cooling water).

IN today’s world, the word progress has become synonymous with expectations of better quality. In the sector of high carbon steel wire, the evolution of the chemical composition of these wires, with increasing carbon contents, has meant a continuous innovation of both the wire production equipment and the entire production process. This increase in the mechanical properties of the wire has amplified the difficulties of high-speed drawing due to the development of high temperatures. Much has been done to optimise the drawing process, with new die angles and significant developments in lubricant quality, but existing capstan cooling systems in the wire drawing machines have meant that it has not been possible to exceed certain limits. The R&D department of Eurolls, recognised in the design and production of rolls and cold rolling cassettes, has developed a solution that permits exceeding existing limits by the introduction of a new cold

VNT in the China spotlight Ajex and Turner’s newly developed VNT dies were the centre of attention for visitors at last year’s wire China exhibition. Many new potential customers also visited the booth and witnessed the company’s upgraded wire polishing and regrinding machine TCD-10 with air pressure, grind and polish angles and bearing in one operation, which saves time and energy, and is also very cost effective. Though Ajex is continuously developing different technologies in the field of wire dies, tooling and machines, the China fair was a learning experience, where the company could get to know the different needs of the customers. Ajex has been participating in wire and cable exhibitions for many years as it understands that this is the platform where its products can be witnessed by the maximum number of potential customers.
