Tecnofil, which specialises in the
production of low and medium carbon
steel wires and in the manufacture and
supply of machines for the production of
steel wire and wire bands, is celebrating its
20
th
anniversary this year.
One of the key points that differentiates
Tecnofil on the market is its overall
control of production and the possibility
to deliver tailor-made solutions, starting
from the specific needs of its clients. The
machine division produces every single
part of the machines, from carpentry to
high precision mechanics, from electrical
equipment to the software, and the test
phase.
The company participated at wire 2014
and
presented
several
innovations,
including the new TBL, its straight wet
drawing line, designed to bring the
advantages of the dry drawing system into
the wet drawing process.
TBL increases significantly the productivity
of drawing plants while reducing the
operational costs. This result is achieved
thanks to the exclusive design of the
machine,
which
guarantees
higher
drawing speeds (up to +600 per cent),
drawing die lifespan (+35 per cent) and
line efficiency (+30 per cent).
Best results can be achieved when drawing
special materials like high/low alloy steels.
In this case TBL working speed is seven
times faster than traditional machines and
grants flawless quality consistency. TBL
is designed to be connected to a copper
coating tank to manufacture welding wire
of special alloys.
TBL eliminates wire slip during wet
drawing,
reducing
wire
mechanical
stress. Moreover, each die and block
is lubricated and cooled by dedicated
high-pressure water sprays. These exclusive
features grant lower wire breakages,
higher working speed and reduced die
consumption.
Other advantages of TBL include:
•
user-friendly and highest operator
accessibility for fastest string-up
• monolithic anti-vibration steel frame
• wire drawing in one direction
•
heavy duty bearings with exclusive
waterproof system
•
fully adjustable reduction scale for
maximum flexibility
•
AC independent motors electronically
controlled and perfectly synchronised
•
easy operator interaction with touch
screen switch board
•
designed and successfully tested in
intensive working conditions for more
than three years.
