to traditional wipers such as felt pads, pieces of rag, etc, which only accumulate excessive oil, lubricants and debris. In addition the PWW has proved successful in applying different types of lubricants and finishes, such as corrosion inhibitors, adhesion enhancers and welding wire finishing materials. The PWW is suitable for wiping bare, tinned or plated ferrous and non-ferrous wire or strand at high line speeds. The compact design enables space-saving installation either in-line with a wire drawing machine or in front of production equipment for bars, bolts, rivets, U-shaped

To complement its extensive range of wire and strip cleaning equipment GEO- Reinigungstechnik recently launched the innovative primary wire wipe system (PWW) on the European market. The (PWW) employs a novel principle: The wire to be cleaned passes between two strips of absorbing material which move in opposite directions laterally so that a clean surface is continuously presented to the wire. The patented PWW is designed to remove visible dust and excessive lubricants from wire and strand up to 2mm in diameter or small strips. It is an economical, low-maintenance, environmentally friendly alternative
