IN 25 years of activity in the wire industry,
Pan Chemicals has dedicated its efforts
and commitment to understanding
wire drawing lubrication, wire drawing
processes and specific customer
problems and requirements. The
company develops clean products and
processes, and ecological lubricants, and
promotes new, environmentally safe
technologies in wire production.
The Pan Chemicals production
programme includes different grades
of calcium, sodium and combined dry
lubricants (Panlube S series), and a full
range of wet lubricants for low and high
carbon, welding wire, stainless steel
and non-ferrous wire (Panlube L series).
The company also offers full technical
support on wire production process and
development of customised products.
The company has recently focused its
activity on lubricant carriers for drawing
of carbon steel wire, stainless steel wire
and cold forming operation (Pancover
series).
Particular attention is dedicated to the
development of ecological products
according to international regulations
(borax-free coatings and lubricants).
The engineering department is proposing
different solutions of descaling machines,
coating devices, rotating die holders and
die reconditioning equipment.
Pan Chemicals has recently introduced
products dedicated to hot dip
galvanising: Panflux series fluxing
products are developed to improve the
efficiency of the galvanising process
by means of a more uniform control of
the reaction at the interface of the two
metals, reducing operating costs and
improving the quality of the zinc coating.
Wiping pads are manufactured to custom
requirements, and various models and
sizes are available. Additivated charcoals
are used as wiping media for high carbon
and mesh galvanising, and are available
in many series and compositions for
different applications.

Meccanica Nicoletti was founded in 1976, on the basis of innovative ideas in the
field of single-core cables used for civil installations.
The company’s work in cable winding and unwinding has helped to change the
production methods of potential customers. The first machines were simple
manual constructions, but now the company proposes machines that work with
very small coils and large cable reels (up to 10 tons), and can meet nearly all
requirements in the field of cable winding/unwinding.
Meccanica Nicoletti has focused on increasing the level of automation in its
products, especially in building the Automat 300 fully automated winding,
unwinding and binding line.
While the company initially operated only in its national market, it has now grown
to cover international markets too, mainly in EU countries. Its network of agencies
and resale points have enabled it to export to almost all countries, and exports now
account for around 50% of production.
