Cleaning and lubrication of wire Advertorial on behalf of Decalub

The GPS/PDH system is a technical novelty that revolutionises the wire drawing process by in-line wire cleaning and wire dry coating, benefiting from the fully controlled four-way interaction between the pressure, temperature, lubricant viscosity and lubricant circulation speed. This interaction allows the use of standard solid or semi-solid products with simple formulations, resulting in significant cost savings in a range of 30% to 60%, and increased environmental benefits. Wire lubrication and re-coating: A full film lubricant coat, enabling frictionless drawing, is easily achieved in a dry application, increasing lubricant coat

Nevatia Steel & Alloys Pvt Limited, an ISO-9001 accredited company, and Government of India recognised export house was incorporated in 1988 to manufacture stainless steel wires. The company has added new facilities to increase its total capacity to 9,000mt per year. The company manufactures special stainless steel wire for braiding, knitting and weaving applications, for cold heading, spring production and wires for general purposes. This year Nevatia has started production of its new MIG and TIG welding wire. Wire is made in a variety of grades, in sizes ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm diameter. The company exports 90 per cent of its products to over 35 countries, which include Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, Poland, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA. Nevatia Steel & Alloys Pvt Ltd – India Fax : +91 22 2493 1336 Stainless steel wires for all purposes weight by about 57% in one intermediate draft with H/C wire drawn with a sodium lubricant. This method completely eliminates conventional wet pre-coating chemicals, performing a wear resistant hard coat for high-tensile wire, spring wire or cold heading wire through a light (nano-film) water soluble coat for plating wire. Wire cleaning: The unit is installed in the last draft of a drawing machine operating with a semi-solid lubricant in a continuous IN and OUT motion. Using closed circuit pressure lubrication, self-generated by the unit, the system eliminates the wire tunnelling effect, enabling high-speed wire cleaning and polishing to provide a bright glossy wire finish in a single run. The GPS/PDH unit is easy to install into the existing soapbox and can be operational within ten minutes. Unit dimensions: 90mm x 90mm x 200mm long (3.55 " x 3.55 " x 7.9 " long).
