Fenn’s wire shaping mills

Fenn Technologies, USA, has manufactured a range of wire drawing, wire shaping and rolling mill equipment for over 100 years. The company’s wire shaping equipment shapes round wire by drawing it through two model 3U HP turks head units. These units are suitable for the production of squares and rectangles using two simple roll adjustments. The shaped wire is drawn onto a horizontal capstan fitted with extension arms suitable for collecting loose coils of the shaped wire.
