Setic and Pourtier, of the Gauder Group, are leaders in rotating machines. They develop and market innovative technically advanced equipment in manufacturing systems for metallic cables (energy, low, medium and high voltage power cable – telecommunication and multimedia – special purpose cables) and fibre optic cables.

GCR Eurodraw, Italy, will display an MTS 760 5-block drawing machine for the production of high carbon steel wire (inlet diameters 9mm to 5.5mm and outlet diameters 6mm to 3mm). This type of machine is often supplied with a non-stop coil pay-off and a mechanical descaler and/or revolving brushing machine. Take-up is onto a single or double spooler, or a non-stop coiler with or without a drawing draft (or sometimes both a spooler and a coiler). The company manufactures a complete range of dry drawing equipment, including vertical and horizontal multi-block drawing machines, vertical and horizontal bull blocks, static and rotating coilers with or without a finishing die, coil/spool and spool/spool rewinding systems, and accessories such as OTO (overhead take-off) blocks, motorised soap mixers, and rotating dieboxes. Wire drawing equipment is supplied on its own or with units for descaling, brushing, pickling, degreasing or plating.
