fibres at different positions in the drawing tower. The range consists of systems for the measurement of the diameter and the position of the naked and coated fibre, as well as for the determination of the tension and detection of airlines.

psi and 85°C, does not leave any lubrication on the wire surface, even at process speeds up to 30m/sec. By following this cleaner with an electrolytic surface activation unit using a weak sulphuric acid, the quality of copper coated welding wire can be ensured. With its e-phos technology, Staku offers a high-speed phosphating process for wire speeds up to 2m/sec. This application can be installed in front of a multi-pass drawing machine for steel/PC wire, or before a single-pass bull block as part of a production line for CHQ wire.

H SO 4 electrolytic pickling, ultrasonic and electrolytic cleaning, electro-plating lines, bronzing lines for bead wire, brass plating for steel cord, phosphating, coating and drying. At the Düsseldorf wire show, Sirio Wire will display pictures and films of its recent lines, and in particular the latest developments and applications for ultrasonic cleaning of wires and electro-galvanising lines. The company will also exhibit the latest solutions for batch pickling, phosphating line for rod wire and the environment- friendly technology of polymer coating. Sirio Wire Srl www.siriowire.com Staku Anlagenbau specialises in surface preparation and coating systems for the ferrous and non-ferrous wire industries, with a focus on electrolytical surface treatment processes. The company offers a portfolio of cleaning and coating systems for copper plating of welding wire, a phosphating system for inline coating and drawing lines, and high-speed cleaning lines for removing lubricants and other surface contaminants after drawing. Staku, located in central Germany but with representation worldwide, can supply individual solutions as well as complete turnkey projects, including installation and commissioning. Under the brand name e-systems, Staku has summarised its individual processes and holds several European and international patents. The company’s Rotor Jet wire cleaning unit is for surface preparation at high speeds. Especially in the welding wire industry the Rotor Jet system, at 2,100 2 Staku-Anlagenbau GmbH Stand: 09 C80

Further gauge heads measure the fibre temperature at the hot position, to determine the fibre temperature for the control of the furnace, and at the cold end, to exactly dose the helium used for the cooling. In addition, a gauge head is available for the determination of the concentricity of the coating as well as for the detection of lumps on the surface of the coated fibre. Sikora will also exhibit systems for plastic material inspection. The Purity Scanner is an online inspection and sorting system based on X-ray and optical technologies. Contamination inside the pellets as well as on their surface is detected and automatically sorted out. The Purity Concept X is an offline inspection and analysis system, based on X-ray technology. It detects and analyses contamination both on the surface and inside transparent, translucent and coloured plastic material.

e-molyphos coating offers a new lubrication that was developed for the wire drawing and cold forming of alloys, stainless steel and titanium materials. The lubrication system matches requirements by electrolytic coating in a single bath. A solid lubricant is deposited within a matrix of components, which contributes to its lubrication properties. Staku-Anlagenbau GmbH www.staku-gmbh.de Teknor Apex will feature a full range of compounds for the emerging 5G wireless infrastructure. The company has developed Apex PVC, Flexalloy PVC elastomer, and Halguard halogen-free, low-smoke compounds for every component in the complex antenna cables required for the new infrastructure. “With the advent of 5G, the wireless antenna market is evolving away from Teknor Apex Company Stand: 09 E06-01
