Spanish spoolers from Teurema

Designing, manufacturing and supplying equipment for ferrous wire ▲

Teurema, Spain, designs, manufactures and supplies equipment for the production of ferrous wire such as cold rolling lines, multi-pass dry drawing lines, horizontal and vertical spoolers, static coilers, pay-offs, and take-up lines for treatment plants. The company’s latest developments in the take-up of wire include horizontal spoolers suitable for handling spools with up to 5,000kg of wire, and single vertical spoolers with speeds of up to 14m/s. The company also produces cold rolling lines with double automatic spoolers that can work with fixed or collapsible spools of up to 5 tons of wire. These spoolers comprise a platform with positions for two spools: one being filled and the other one empty in stand by. Once the preset weight or wire length is reached, the platform rotates, introducing the empty spool, threads the wire on it and starts automatically, without operator involvement. The company can integrate with the spooler an automatic spool handling and collapsing unit, enabling the user to produce strapped coils instead of fixed spools with wire. It is also possible to combine the line with spooler with a high speed straightening and cutting unit for the production of bars between 2.4m and

18m length, and 6mm-12mm diameter at a maximum speed of 6m/s. This allows the production of either spools or straight bars.
