wire 2016

High productivity and a better final wire quality coupled with features such as perfect alignment of wire between die and capstan as well as low energy consumption due to electronic control of motor and line operation go to ensure an advanced drawing solution. The main features are: • Reduced die and capstan wear • Mechanical line speed reaches 33 metres/second • Fixed or rotating dies • Rotating die speed varies in proportion to line speed • Each block can be bypassed • Synchronisation by means of dancer arm • Input wire diameter starts at 2mm (steel wire) or 3mm with aluminium wire With 38 years of experience in welding wire machinery and with the specific experience of Gimax engineers in the production of wire, consequently with an excellent knowledge of the entire process of wire manufacturing, the redesign also led to the introduction of a range of TRD dry drawing equipment, available with vertically or horizontally mounted capstans – non-slip (with independently driven capstans), tilted horizontal capstans, rotating dies, water-cooled capstans, etc. The capstan diameter can vary from 300mm up to 1,200mm depending on the application and diameter of wire, and can reach a line speed of 35 metres/second. Gimax Srl – Italy Website : www.gimaxgroup.com GMP Slovakia produces steel reels, take-apart reels and handling equipment for the wire and cable industry. The company has had the certification ISO 9001:2008 for the quality management system since year 2009 and is now also certified ISO 14001:2004 for the environmental management system and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 for the occupational health and safety management system. The take-apart reels and special equipment (tilters, lifters, rolling systems) are CE marked. All the products are high quality and manufactured for long-term durability. GMP Slovakia’s range of products includes not only reels and drums for wire and cable, but different models of tilters and lifters. The tilting unit type TU/M can carry reels or coils up to five tons. It works by transmitting the movement from the motor to the tilting unit by a chain. It is provided with safety barriers (hardware and optical) and with all the documentation GMP Slovakia Stand: 10E68

requested by law. The equipment must be placed in the ground according to GMP Slovakia’s technical team instruction. It is possible to supply a rolling system, where the operator can place the reel in horizontal axis position for the strapping operation. For smaller reels, the TL model is available: the operator expands the jaws of the tilter by the handles and tilts the reel 90°. This device is suitable for reels up to 800mm flange weighing one ton.
