The Dry Cleaning, Coating and Drawing
(DCCD) process offers substantial cost
savings replacing conventional rod wet
preparation, including acid cleaning/
rinsing/wet pre-coating and drying, by
the new totally dry and green process
that presents a unique combination of
simplicity and effectiveness.
The DCCD process is used in the most
demanding H/C and L/C drawing
applications from mechanically descaled
bare rod, including 0.88-0.90%C, drawn
directly without wet pre-coating
chemicals, including spring wire, rope
wire, PC strand wire, CO2 welding wire,
cold heading wire, plating wire, etc.
The process operates at zero maintenance
cost as there is no acid, no hot liquid tanks
for rod pre-coating, no hot air blowers to
dry wet rod, and it operates at virtually
zero energy consumption.
The rod moisture, enemy number one for
wire drawing, is completely eliminated.
An added benefit is the automatic control
of lubrication parameters, including
lubricant pressure, temperature and
viscosity, enabling the use of standard
high melting lubricants (+220°C=428°F)
which are instantaneously converted
from solid into liquefied state and
deposited on uncoated (bare) rod,
generating exceptional thermal stability
at the highest drawing speed, 18m/sec
(3,600ft/min) for spring wire, completely
eliminating the need for phosphate and
borax pre-coating chemicals and their
wet substitutes.
In operation, all lubrication variables
communicate together in a sensitive
and automatic multi-way interaction to
form a high-density strongly adherent
full-film anti-wear lubricant coat,
weight-adjustable, enabling frictionless
drawing benefiting from physical
separation of wire-die contact in all drafts.
The DCCD process revolutionises the wire
drawing process: Customers can target
immediate total saving of 50-64 per cent
in the production cost of drawn wire, in
all drawing applications with virtually no
speed limit, and only dictated to by the
rod pay-off and wire take up modes.
