IN today’s world, the word progress has
become synonymous with expectations
of better quality. In the sector of high
carbon steel wire, the evolution of the
chemical composition of these wires, with
increasing carbon contents, has meant a
continuous innovation of both the wire
production equipment and the entire
production process.
This increase in the mechanical properties
of the wire has amplified the difficulties
of high-speed drawing due to the
development of high temperatures.
Much has been done to optimise the
drawing process, with new die angles
and significant developments in lubricant
quality, but existing capstan cooling
systems in the wire drawing machines
have meant that it has not been possible
to exceed certain limits.
The R&D department of Eurolls, recognised
in the design and production of rolls and
cold rolling cassettes, has developed a
solution that permits exceeding existing
limits by the introduction of a new cold
rolling cassette specifically designed for
high carbon wire production.
The cold rolling process, due to a lower
friction coefficient and an innovative wire
lubrication system, generates less heat
thereby lowering wire temperature during
the reduction process.
All recent Eurolls wire drawing lines have
been supplied with the possibility to adopt
this new cold rolling system.
Furthermore, these same new lines
have not only an improved capstan
cooling system but also benefit from the
development of a new internal coating
specifically studied by Eurolls R&D.
This internal coating ensures a reduced
formation of deposits and rust while
guaranteeing an increase in heat
transmission (the same cooling capacity
but with a lower quantity of cooling
water).

VNT in the China spotlight
Ajex and Turner’s newly developed VNT dies were the centre of attention for visitors at
last year’s wire China exhibition.
Many new potential customers also visited the booth and witnessed the company’s
upgraded wire polishing and regrinding machine TCD-10 with air pressure, grind and
polish angles and bearing in one operation, which saves time and energy, and is also
very cost effective.
Though Ajex is continuously developing different technologies in the field of wire dies,
tooling and machines, the China fair was a learning experience, where the company
could get to know the different needs of the customers.
Ajex has been participating in wire and cable exhibitions for many years as it
understands that this is the platform where its products can be witnessed by the
maximum number of potential customers.
