D3 is a real first Euroalpha is the leading manufacturer of drawing machines for non-ferrous wires with limited-slip technology, a design greatly appreciated by wire and cable manufacturers worldwide. Encouraged by customers, and based on deep technical expertise, the company has extended its range of limited-slip drawing machines to multiwire: exclusive equipment that goes much beyond the technology of similar ones currently available on the market. D3 is the first multiwire drawing machine ever designed with drawing capstans individually motor-driven, and available with up to 32 wires. Additional drawing modules with capstans driven by high-precision gear transmission are incorporated in the frame for producing thinner wires. Such design represents an unmatchable solution for cutting the negative effects of the slip, more consistent on the slower capstans, and guaranteeing a rigid mechanical transmission to the faster capstans, drawing thinner sizes. Consistent energy consumption savings, almost negligible maintenance, extreme operational flexibility (thanks to the variable elongations the same drawing machine can produce a very wide range of finished wires), reduced wire breakings, low noise level, and other important benefits of the limited-slip technology are therefore available on multiwire drawing machines as well.
