several blades during other processing
methods. After the draw-peeling
process, the wire surface neither needs
to be hardened, nor requires any
polishing or grinding. In addition to
valve spring wire and steel wire, the
process is suitable for aluminium,
copper, nickel alloy and different
special materials.
A milestone in the development of the
procedure and the respective machine
technology is the modular type series
of high-speed draw-peeling machines.
The new modular concept allows a
gentle processing, improving the
quality of the finished wire, while
improving productivity by increasing
the draw-peeling speed.
Kieselstein International also offers
comprehensive R+D services. In-house
draw-peeling machine tests are carried
out in cooperation with customers in
order to find the optimum set-up for
their machines. Using a video-measuring
method developed by Kieselstein, the
draw-peeling process can be examined
and evaluated thoroughly.

Lubrication is one of the crucial factors
for the quality of drawn wire. An
interrupted lubrification in the steel
wire drawing process can cause
increase of surface tension in the wire,
strong pressures inside the die, rapid
die wear, breakage of the drawing
nib and consequent non-programmed
interruptions in the wire drawing
process. In order to avoid such
problems, Koner SpA, Italy, has
created a new concept line of drawing
dies. The K.340 and K.370 pressure
drawing dies (patented worldwide) are
designed to greatly improve lubrication
in dry drawing of steel wire. For wet
drawing the K.320 tool has been
created, which allows optimum wet
drawing process characteristics.
Operating advantages of the new dies
include production at maximum
drawing speeds, less machine down-
time for die replacement, better and
more homogeneous wire quality, wire
drawing under optimum quality control,
increased nib life, and application of
the requested quantity of lubricant
coating to the wire. The overall
dimensions of the new dies are the
same as for traditional dies.
