accumulators, belt wrap type capstans, linear belt caterpillar capstans, concentric and eccentric taping heads and cable pay-offs/take-ups.

When the wire brushes need replacement (typically after processing 300 tons of wire rod) the control system will shut down the Wilco brusher while illuminating an indicator lamp communicating the machine’s condition that the brushes need replacement. Additional models of Wilco descaling systems are available from basic, non-aggressive systems to the automatic brush descaling system with lubricant pre-coating.

and enameling. Die sizes are available in a range from very fine (52ga.) to as large as 32mm with the jumbo PCD nibs.

Company manufactures a comprehensive line of mechanical descaling machinery allowing customers to put in place the Wilco mechanical descaling systems which most closely match their wire-drawing requirement. On display at wire 2012 will be the Model 1250 automatic brush descaling system that allows users to convert wire rod of various qualities into bright drawn wire. The Wilco automatic rod-brushing machine incorporates into the descaling process eight circular wire brushes which are positioned around the rod circumference and aggressively clean the rod surface of secondary scale and red rust which are detrimental to producing high quality wire products. Unique to the Wilco wire brushing machine is that the pressure of all wire brushes is automatically maintained on a real-time basis by the advanced electronic control system. The operator is not responsible for making manual adjustments to the brush pressure, leaving a consistently cleaned wire rod.
