GCR Eurodraw has developed a full range of high-performance wire dry
drawing equipment. The range of machines starts from the largest machines,
the MTS 1200 and the MTS 900, suitable to draw high carbon steel wire with
inlet diameters up to 18.00 and 16.00mm, and ends with the smallest MTX 180
machine, suitable for wire sizes down to 0.1mm.
For the medium to large wire diameter range, GCR Eurodraw proposes the MTS
760, the MTS 710 and the MTS 660. All these three models are suitable for high
carbon steel wire as well as for low and medium carbon contents. As with all
the other wire drawing machines, customisation is possible with a wide range of
dedicated accessories.
The next family of wire drawing machines is represented by the MTS 630, the
MTS 610 and the MTS 560.
The MTS 610 is the GCR Eurodraw workhorse. It includes the highly efficient
Turbo Cold narrow gap cooling system, the exclusive GCR Eurodraw
user-friendly die holder, and many small smart features developed and integrated
over the years, always following the suggestions and feedback from valued
customers.
Finally, for the thinner wire sizes, GCR Eurodraw has developed the MTX range
of machines, available in capstan sizes from 500mm down to 180mm, with
intermediate models such as the MTX 400, 350, 300 and 250.
The MTX machines integrate the electrical panel on board the machine and may
also integrate the cooling system with an on-board refrigerator. In this way, the
machine needs only the power connection and is ready to run.
The transmission is unique: there are no belts or pulleys and the motor is
directly connected to the gearbox, therefore avoiding any need of belt change or
tensioning over time.
