Focus on Italy

Eurodraw Wire Equipment Srl is an Italian company specialising in the design and manufacture of equipment for the production, among other steel wire products, of steel ropes. The company has developed two series of machines for steel rope production: one series for sizes up to 13mm in diameter and the other for rope sizes up to 40mm in diameter. The machines for ropes up to 13mm are based on the double twist technology that has numerous advantages compared to a comparable tubular machine: a higher production speed, higher spool loads, lower noise, less space required for the installation and increased safety. With over 40 years of experience in designing double twist machines, Eurodraw has incorporated numerous features such as electronic wire tensioning systems, pay-o systems for large spools, adjustable stretching capstans and many other features that allow production in an easy way for both simple and complex ropes. Tubular machine design has also bene ted from a number of features that allow precise and self-adjusting wire tensioning, more ergonomic design to load and unload spools and new rope stretching or rope compacting systems. Like in the double twist machines, there is no longer the need to adjust the braking force of each of the spools individually by manual intervention on each of the spool brakes. This is now done electronically through the HMI that reads on a continuous High performance stranding machines

▲ Eurodraw specialises in the design and manufacture of equipment for the production of steel ropes basis the tension of each wire and automatically adjusts the braking force to the set value, even when the machine is running. Eurodraw also produces double twist machines for the production of small size pre-stressed concrete strands. This innovative machine, the company claims, doubles the production speed of other machines that are available. Eurodraw is based in Milan, Italy, and has supplied its machines on all continents of the world to a number of reputed steel wire rope manufacturers.

cooperation in building entire enamelled wire factories worldwide. Since 1959, Sicme has been operating in the enamel wire industry, serving customers for machinery, service, parts and transfer of technical know-how. Its experience allows it to satisfy the nal client for both standard and rare requests with speci c and tailored solutions. Most of the components are made by the company in order for it to have better control over quality, and the range of products is wide (rod-breakdown machines, intermediate drawing machines, annealing ovens, enamelling ovens, take-up, pay-o , laboratory instru- ments to check the insulated wire, etc). Sicme also enhanced the modern way of producing wire by re-introducing the use of natural gas for thermal energy in its modern machines, achieving savings in consumption.
