Founded in 1946, Candor is specialised in cleaning and
plating plants for wire and a supplier of chemicals for
various applications.
The combination of its know-how in chemicals and
processes, and advanced equipment for plating and
cleaning of wire makes the company unique on the
market.
Candor supplies both single and
multi-strand systems for ferrous and
non-ferrous materials, and all plants are
tailor made.
The company has recently introduced a
number of new developments:
• The high-speed hot water/steam clea-
ning of wires with Candojet. The
unit is a very compact and efficient
cleaning unit to be installed after
drawing or rolling mill process
• High-speed copper coating line for wel-
ding wires. With a modular design for
customised deliveries according to
the customer’s request
• Single wire plating plants for copper
and copper alloy wires with enhanced
agitation and current distribution
technologies. The plating plant is
available for Ni, Ag, Sn and Zn plating
on non-ferrous wire and is also
available for stainless and carbon
steel
• Ultrasonic and electrolytic cleaning
plants for single and multi wire
applications. The units are to be
placed in line with annealing furnace,
hot dip galvanising process or in-line
with other equipment such as the
dry drawing process for very clean
surfaces, typically stainless steel
welding wires. The new design has a
further enhanced cleaning efficiency
and ease of use. Various filtration
options can be added to extend the
lifetime of the cleaning solution.
• Multi wire nickel/copper coating plants
for stainless steel spring wires or CHQ
wires.
The new enhanced design allows high
current densities and the individual
control of each wire with different speed
and plating thickness.
