Continuous extrusion for brass wires

BRASS has the advantage of high strength, corrosion resistance, easy cutting and low cost, and is widely used in construction parts, valve parts, connectors, zippers and other fields. In traditional extrusion and rolling methods, the drawing method is a long process, has large energy consumption, poor quality, and is unable to meet the requirements of the market. After many years’ research, the key technology including tooling design and forming process control, etc, was grasped by DaLian Konform Technical, and continuous extrusion technology for brass wire, special-type wire and profile was developed successfully. • No billet preheating and annealing process, energy saving and no pollution, nice working environment, green manufacturing technology • Compared with the traditional extrusion process, there is no billet preheating, a 20 per cent energy saving, and the aluminium sheath comes out continuously in great lengths without pausing • Compared with the drawing and Features include:

annealing process: remove drawing and annealing process, which gives a reduction in the production cost, saving manpower, small floor space required and low investment cost • Large product range and easy to change size: less process, easy operation. Automatic production line, only needs one operator, and can extrude the material to final product • Good product performance: the product is soft with annealed microstructure, refined grain and uniform along the extrusion direction, good mechanical and electrical properties DaLian KonformTechnical Co Ltd – China Website : www.konform.cn ▲ Many years of research has been spent by DaLian Konform on extrusion for brass wires

The CableCoiler 1450 is a single pan coiling system that is used to coil wire, cable or tubing. It features a rotary design with moveable pins to adjust for different coiling diameters. Another unique feature of this design is the easy unloading scheme, using retracting pins and an automatic safety cover lift. The design of the coiling system ensures safe operation by performing all of the rotating movements in a downward facing position with a closed and monitored safety shield. The machine is versatile and can function in one of two different operating modes: • Coil only – for efficient off-line coiling of pre-cut materials • Auto coil – as an integrated post-processing accessory for use with cut and strip machines The CableCoiler 1450 offers programmable parameters, including cable diameter and length, inner/outer diameter of cable coil and configuration parameters such as distance after cutting, speed synchronisation adjustment, etc. All programmed parameters can be saved in jobs for easy and fast recall via the user interface or with a barcode scanner. Jobs can also be imported and exported between coilers with a USB stick. CableCoiler 1450 single pan coiling system
