Wire Lab Company
Booth 2646
Wire Lab Company manufactures a comprehensive line of
mechanical descaling machinery for steel wire producers.
Simple-to-use basic mechanical descaling systems (such
as model 920 Air Jet and model 1030 Water Jet descalers)
are well suited for producers of industrial quality wire
products where emphasis is on maintaining the lowest
possible overall production cost.
More feature-rich Wilco descaling systems allow customers
to use wire rods of various qualities with the objective of
producing a consistently cleaned wire rod suitable for
making into higher quality wire products. These Wilco
descaling systems (model 1250 and model 1750 automatic
wire brush descalers) incorporate the Wilco automatic rod-
brushing machine into the process. Eight circular wire
brushes are positioned around the rod circumference to
aggressively clean the rod surface of secondary scale
and red rust – both detrimental to producing high quality
wire products.
More specialised Wilco descaling systems (model 1060
descaling system with lubricant pre-coating and model
LRD scale breaker for large diameter rods) satisfy the needs
of more specialised producers. The model 1060 as part of
the mechanical descaling process applies lubricant
pre-coating compound in the final stage of the mechanical
descaling process. Manufacturers of high carbon wire and
those working with very high finishing speeds benefit from
the increased lubrication established by the pre-coating
compound.
The Wilco large rod scale breaker (model LRD) is designed
for processing larger rods up to 19mm in diameter. Sheave
offset is controlled by hydraulics, thereby allowing simple
straight-through string up of the scale breaker.
