Exhibitor at this year’s Wires & Fasteners

Kiev, ITF Group is among leading suppliers

of integrated solutions for cleaning,

degreasing and deburring. Knowledge

and experience gained over 30 years of

activity enable the company to provide its

customers with a wide range of individual

Automatic wire cleaning at Kiev

ITF’s automatic plants for metal wire

cleaning and degreasing represent one

of these individual solutions. This type of

plant has been designed and developed

for continuous automatic removal of oils

and draw residuals from up to 24 wires.

The wire is cleaned by mechanical and

chemical actions, giving excellent results.

The cleaning cycle can include spray

washing, ultrasound cleaning, spray

rinsing and blowing with forced air.

In the loading and unloading area, on

the opposite site of the plant, the plates

where the wires enter the line have

ceramic bushes. Other features of this

flexible wire washing plant include:

Powerful ultrasound

Ultrasound tank equipped with

pump for continuous maintenance

of level

Ceramic bushes to allow for smooth

wire run

Spray rinsing with net water supplied

by a factory net

These compact machines do not need

any floor foundation work. The internal

parts are constructed from stainless steel

AISI 316L, and external parts (fairing and

structure) not in contact with liquids are

in painted carbon steel.

Tratos has acquired

NorthWest Cables

Tratos Ltd, the UK distribution subsidiary of electrical

cable manufacturer Tratos Cavi SpA of Italy, has com-

pleted its acquisition of North West Cables Ltd and its

subsidiary, Modular Wiring Systems Ltd.

The deal has resulted in all UK manufacturing being

transferred to the bespoke Knowsley facility and more

staff have been employed there.

John Light, the UK group managing director, believes:

“The purchase is of strategic importance to give us

a manufacturing operation here, particularly as it is

based in what was once the heartland of the British

cable industry.”

He continued that taking over the Modular Wiring

Systems business puts the group at the forefront in

this area, which is based on an easily installed modular

sub-circuit distribution system that is prefabricated

off-site.

Under the new ownership, NorthWest Cables has become

Tratos, whilst Modular Wiring Systems will retain its name

and become a Tratos Group company.
