second, a rotating cassette, to produce a twisted square profile starting from a round entry wire. The square twisted wire is then in-line fed into a customised Vitari NR 300 with straightener panels in lieu of the rotary spinner. This version enables the well- known NR series to work with non-round wire sections, keeping the same perfor- mance of this machine range, including the speed up to 180m/min. The second element is the microcassettes that complement the standard cassettes type CA and CB for the production of structural wire. Sales of 3+3 rolls and 2+2 rolls microcassettes have substantially increased because of their ability to produce wire in smaller sizes. Eurolls will display a new microcassette that can produce wire that is nearly 0.5mm. Positive results have already been obtained to roll high resistance materials (chrome and nickel based), down to 0.8mm, with tolerances on roundness very close to those obtained by dies. Cassettes have also been applied to roll special alloys, titanium, aluminium, brass and copper material. Due to the number of cassettes sold for more than 15 years, different applications and different processes, Eurolls has advanced its know- how on lamination of different types of material, assuring its customers of good results in a short time. Eurolls SpA – Italy Website : www.eurolls.com Gauder Stand: 10E40 Gauder SA, on which the Gauder Group was founded, is at the head of the largest stock of machines for the wire and cable industry in Europe. “Creating solutions together”, the company is an ideal partner to set up “ready to manufacture processes” from its warehouse housing over 1,000 machines (drawing, stranding/cabling, screening/taping/armouring, wire coating, extruding, coiling/rewinding) for the production of wires, conductors, cables, ropes or steel products. The Belgium-based supplier is a key player in reconditioning second-hand machines. The company has specific know-how in revamping lead extruders. ❍ Quick rolling line from Eurolls

Eurolls Stand: 11D34

Eurolls SpA has consolidated its position in proposing technically advanced integrated wire production/processing solutions for both the reinforcement wire and industrial sector, including tailor-made projects and high carbon wire/strand/rope applications. In addition, the acquisition of Vitari widens the Eurolls offer to finished product such as high-grade chains, barbed wire, chain-link mesh, hexagonal wire mesh, gabions and nails in addition to the wire straightening and cutting machines. Eurolls will display its collective technology. 
 The QRC unit, in line with a straight-and-cutting machine, can produce a twisted square wire. It pulls the wire from the pay-off unit and through both the mechanical descaler and cold rolling cassettes by means of a “V” grooved pulling ring. Its sleek design enables the QRC to be applied in parallel for in-line rolling of multi-wire products such as lattice girders, mesh line, etc. The QRC will be equipped with two cassettes: the first to roll the wire, and the

The company also markets new Mapré extruders ranging from 38 to 150mm, complete with accessories. A free shuttle service is organised daily from the stand to see the stock in 20,000m 2 warehouses, as well as to see a reconditioned drum twister for power cable. Visitors can see the on-line stock at www. gauderonline.com to prepare for the visit. On the stand will be a reconditioned gearbox for lead extrusion. Gauder – Belgium Website : www.gauderonline.com Gimax Stand: 10B17 Gimax has redesigned its wet drawing equipment, and the traditional “submerged” drawing tank has evolved into the TRS range of non-slip wet drawing units with independently driven vertical capstans, thus combining most of the benefits of a dry drawing line with a wet one. The result is an example of advanced technology available in wire drawing. ❍ Gauder second-hand reconditioning equipment

❍ The TRS300 from Gimax

The TRS is a “spray” type wet drawbench, where the lubricant is sprayed onto the die and die box and onto the capstan. This range is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous wires, and its reduced footprint, easily accessible parts and com- ponents not only offer cost savings in terms of floorspace and labour (operation and maintenance), but are an important aid in decreasing downtime and consequently increasing productivity.
