Putting the customer
first in wire drawing

supplying the global
wire drawing industry
and many of the
world’s largest wire
drawing companies
since the 1950s
with cost effective,
m e t i c u l o u s l y
researched, and
innovative wire
drawing lubricant
programmes.
The company’s
reputation for
developing lubricant
products and programmes, precisely matching its customers’ technical
requirements is well earned and by design.
Blachford’s in-field engineers and experi- enced research and
development team work closely with customers to fully understand
each application’s technical requirements. As the wire industry
continues to globalise, there is increasing pressure on wire
producers to remain profitable through product differentiation.
Blachford offers its customers a sustainable competitive advantage
by leveraging its core competency – designing lubricant
programmes that match customers’ specific needs.
The company is dedicated in its commitment to ISO 9001 approved
product quality.
Whether working to develop products that impart specific
finished wire characteristics, or to enable its customers to
produce more quality tons faster and less expensively, Blachford’s
unique combination of technically advanced products and
customer-focused approach helps to give customers a competitive
edge.

Reinforced plastic guide
pulleys fromWyrepak
These highly durable reinforced pulleys, with their replaceable
contact rings, are ideal for guiding or redirecting all types of wire.
Flanges are bolted together, so individual parts can be replaced
when worn or damaged. Each can come with single or double
bearings. The replaceable contact ring is available in hardened
rubber, tungsten carbide coated steel or ceramic coated steel. The
nitrile (rubber) has high abrasive resistance and reduces vibration.
They are offered in sizes from 2.5"/89mm to 16"/445mm.
Small pulleys: These ‘no-torque’ small pulleys consist of a ceramic
contact ring mounted on tough, reinforced plastic flanges. Each
pulley comes with a single bearing. They are offered in sizes ranging
from 15mm to 50mm.
