The PWC-S system performs wire cleaning and polishing in-line
with a wire drawing machine at 6 to 12m/s (1,200 to 2,400ft/min).
Exceptional cleanliness permits direct wire brass
coating, copper coating, and wire cleaning prior to heat
treatment and coating applications including patenting,
annealing, painting, plastic coating, etc.
The system incorporates new technology which
enables normal cold plant water to be converted into
a unique multi-action high pressure wetting/displace/flush
cleaning liquid used to clean drawn wire at high-speed,
providing a smooth and glossy wire finish in plating quality.
The PWC-S system effectively removes lubricant residue from
the base material and is particularly recommended for cleaning
applications with wires drawn upon severe conditions resulting
in increased heat and burned lubricant tightly bound to the
wire surface and embedded in micro cavities.
The system can be used with an emulsion including a new rust
preventive additive diluted at 3-5 per cent concentration. The
PWC-S unit is compact and can be easily installed on the
finishing/last block of a wire-drawing machine.
