for the construction industry. Domestic
fence manufacturers that work for USA
military installations, border control
applications, municipalities, and many
more use the equipment. The company
o ers manufacturing capabilities for
fencing products utilised in perimeter
security, construction, mining and agri-
cultural settings. Bergandi occupies a
manufacturing facility located in Ontario,
California, USA, approximately three miles
from Ontario International Airport.
The company has a long history of
research and development activities and
presently owns four patents covering
equipment speci cally designed for
the fencing industry. With over 85
years of experience in designing and
manufacturing machinery, Bergandi o ers
a wide range of wire forming, processing
and welding equipment. Its primary
customer base encompasses the fencing,

Blachford Corp
Stand: 09E02
Blachford Corporation is a wire lubricant
and speciality chemical supplier. Based
in the USA and Canada, Blachford has
been supplying the global wire drawing
industry and many of the world’s largest
wire drawing companies since the
1950s with cost e ective, meticulously
researched, and innovative wire drawing
lubricant programmes tailored to the
exacting technical speci cations of
individual wire drawing processes.
When the wire industry needed assistance
to reduce and control dust, Blachford
responded with chemically modi ed
dry drawing lubricants designed to help
address the problem.
Blachford’s low dust dry lubricants reduce
dust creation in multiple ways. They
are more adhesive than standard dry
lubricants and therefore are less likely
to detach from the wire; more exible
than standard dry lubricants and have
a lower tendency to shatter when the
wire bends around pulleys or capstans;
and the feathers are more cohesive than
standard dry lubricants so they have a
lower tendency to break up and become
airborne. All of these attributes have been
designed into Blachford’s low dust dry
lubricants to help its customers meet the
demands of dust control. This is only one
example of Blachford’s capability to create
innovative products that meet the needs
of the overall wire drawing industry.

Boockmann
Engineering
Stand: 09C34
Boockmann Engineering GmbH will
exhibit the new 2016 models of its
Helilub® technology for precision solvent-
free lubrication of magnet wire, and the
2015 models of Helicord® machines for
surface processing of wire and cable, such
as welding wire nishing or removal of
misprints from cable.
The new Helilub models are also suitable
for non-abrasive cleaning applications on
wire of diameters below approximately
0.2mm. Both types of machinery were
recently redesigned to be more robust and
operator-friendly, and will be on display
on the stand. Another exhibit diversifying
Boockmann‘s product range will be its
multi-wire cleaning machine, designed
speci cally for use in multi-wire lines,
where space limitations do not allow using
Helicord machines.
On the material side, Boockmann made
new developments in welding wire
nishing, using fully wax-impregnated
cords with a special separating component,
that prevents accumulations of metal
particles in the liner and contact tip. These
newly developed materials also allow
welding wire nishing at high production
speeds. A demonstration of Boockmann‘s
materials and technology can also be
given at its facility in Bad Bocklet, Germany,
during the weekend and the week
following wire 2016, by prior arrangement.

the rst and original patent licence
to develop, manufacture and supply
Conform™ machines to the market.
Many of the initial installations are still in
production today, which is testament to
the quality and reliability of the ‘original’
Conform machine and BWE’s on-going
technical support.
