To complement its extensive range of
wire and strip cleaning equipment GEO-
Reinigungstechnik recently launched
the innovative primary wire wipe system
(PWW) on the European market.
The (PWW) employs a novel principle: The
wire to be cleaned passes between two
strips of absorbing material which move
in opposite directions laterally so that a
clean surface is continuously presented to
the wire. The patented PWW is designed
to remove visible dust and excessive
lubricants from wire and strand up to
2mm in diameter or small strips.
It is an economical, low-maintenance,
environmentally friendly alternative
to traditional wipers such as felt pads,
pieces of rag, etc, which only accumulate
excessive oil, lubricants and debris.
In addition the PWW has proved
successful in applying different types of
lubricants and finishes, such as corrosion
inhibitors, adhesion enhancers and
welding wire finishing materials.
The PWW is suitable for wiping bare,
tinned or plated ferrous and non-ferrous
wire or strand at high line speeds.
The compact design enables space-saving
installation either in-line with a wire
drawing machine or in front of production
equipment for bars, bolts, rivets, U-shaped
staples, etc. The PWW is compatible with
modern extruder lines as well.
