Dies, cones and die maintenance

Innovation the route forward for Paramount Paramount Die has introduced several products that have become wire industry standards or best practices, and it continues to innovate. Higher drawing speeds, better wire quality and improved wire mill productivity have all been aided by the company’s technologies. One such innovation is the ParaLoc™ pressure system, a widely used pressure die system. The company claims that the ParaLoc pressure systems deliver higher drawing performance while also promoting sustainability by allowing customers to return and responsibly recycle their used inserts, which are then reprocessed through Paramount’s automated reclamation system. A more recent innovation is Paramount’s new ParaLoc-S, a pressure system designed to fit into smaller spaces. This allows customers to use a fully functioning pressure system in smaller die boxes and will open the benefits of the ParaLoc pressure systems to older drawing lines. Paramount has long been recognised as a premier supplier of dies, and is growing leadership in the development of shaped dies. Currently, work is being performed to develop new shaped die technologies, which combine the company’s geometry and quality with innovative shaped die designs. The same commitment and science is being applied to the design and manufacture of shaped dies. With the technical advancements and quality, Paramount can provide a die solution for any die need, and deliver higher value to all shaped wire producers.
