New generation
fromM+E
Many years of development and the
adoption of innovative technical
solutions has allowed M+E to create
its new generation of wet drawing
machines, significantly reducing
or eliminating many quality and
production problems.
Operation of M+E wet wire drawing
machines at leadingwiremanufacturers
and with different wire types confirmed
excellent quality and productivity
increases compared to traditional
machines, while keeping the die wear
constant.
M+E’s wet wire drawing machines are
particularly noted for drawing of the
following steel wires:
• Brass-coated wire (steel cord, saw
wire)
• electrolytic or hot dip galvanised
wire
• stainless steel wire
• high quality spring wire
The M+E production range includes machines with 2, 4 or 6 cones with a maximum of 12, 25 or 33 dies for a finished wire diameter
down to minimum 0.08mm (0.0031"). The main wet drawing machine characteristics are:
• straight wire path, without transfer sheaves
• wire drawing only in one direction
• high ratio between ring diameter and wire diameter
• guaranteed proper wire and dies lubrication during
stringing-up
• high pressure individual die cleaning system
• water-cooled final die and final capstan
• robust, anti-vibration steel frame
• heavy duty bearings and cone shafts
• cone shafts especially sealed to prevent bearings
damage
• compact design with excellent accessibility during
stringing-up
• minimum wire slip percentage on cones
• AC main motor with slip-proof belt transmission
• complete accessibility to all components allowing easy
maintenance
• completely pre-wired, with incorporated electrical
cabinet
• enclosed design with interlocked safety guards
conforming to the most stringent safety regulations
M+E wet drawing machines are supplied complete with wire
pay-off and traditional or full automatic spooler, which can be
supplied for taking up wire on vertical or horizontal axis spools.
