Enhanced aluminium tube drawing at Tubotech CONDAT has earned an international reputation for supplying lubricants to the steel wire industry with its brand name Vicafil TM , and the company has used its 160 years’ expertise in lubricant technology to develop a comprehensive range of products dedicated to the electrical wire and cable market. It has now also developed lubricants specifically for tube drawing. the advantage of being a chlorine-free, semi-synthetic lubricant: a step forward to ‘user-friendly lubricants’ and an environmentally responsible technology. Tubotech 2017 is a perfect opportunity for Condat to show its lubricant specifically designed for tube drawing. The Condatub product range covers most tube forming processes from hot forming to cold forming.

It has been designed to answer specific issues for all metals (carbon and stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloy) and includes hot forming graphite and ceramics dispersions, non-reactive and reactive drawing soaps, pilger rolling and forming soluble lubricants, neat drawing oils and corrosion inhibitors.

Among a range of neat oils, soluble and vanishing lubricants, Condat will highlight at wire South America an innovative and effective new lubricant. Vicafil TFA 1460 has already provided results for customers drawing aluminium, in particular on drawing from rod to diameters of 1mm. Designed to offer both low residues and extended operating life, its specifically formulated additives package minimises thermal oxidation and maintains longer lubricant performance. The bath life is increased and maintenance costs are reduced. Thanks to its low viscosity, Vicafil TFA 1460

reduces lubricant consumption while offering high lubricity and increased die life. Vicafil TFA 1460 is also compatible with the insulation process and has

The new ECOmax – Scarf circular saw blade is customized for cutting tubes and profiles with heavy ID Scarf on flying cut-off units. ECOmax – Scarf CUTTING HEAVY ID SCARF

Conventional blades are be heavily damaged after only a few cuts because they cut the high strength weld bead inside the bottom of the tube. With a special tooth form and cutting geometry, in combination with a new proprietary coating, the ECOmax – Scarf saw blade is the most suitable for this application, on single as on multiple head machines as well. Successful trials and on-going production usage, have shown the ECOmax – Scarf blades achieve up to 7m² of material removal on welded tubes with wall thickness up to 14mm.
