Wire Drawing Machinery
53 Wire & Cable ASIA – March/April 2007
The M+E production range includes
machines with 2, 4 or 6 cones with
a maximum of 12, 25 or 33 dies for
a finished wire diameter down to
minimum 0.08mm (0.0031").
The main wet drawing machine
characteristics are: Straight wire
path, without transfer sheaves, wire
drawing only in one direction, high
ratio between ring diameter and wire
diameter, guaranteed proper wire and
dies lubrication during stringing-up,
high pressure individual die cleaning
system, water cooled final die and final
capstan, robust, anti-vibration steel
frame, heavy duty bearings and cone
shafts, cone shafts specially sealed
to prevent bearings damage, compact
design with excellent accessi-
bility during stringing-up, minimum
wire slip percentage on cones, AC
main motor with slip-proof belt
transmission, complete accessibility
to all components allowing easy main-
tenance, completely pre-wired, with
incorporated electrical cabinet and
an enclosed design with interlocked
safety guards conforming to the most
stringent safety regulations.
M+E wet drawing machines are
supplied complete with wire pay-
off and traditional or fully-automatic
spooler. The spooler can be supplied
for taking up wire on vertical or
horizontal axis spools.

Machines to cover all
production steps
Manufacturers of copper or aluminium
wire are confronted with the challenge
of a keen competition and increasing
quality requirements.
Niehoff has developed wire drawing
machines and adequate continuous
annealers which cover all production
steps from wire rod drawing to fine
and super-fine wire drawing.
These are also available in line drawing
and annealing lines for wire made of
aluminium and aluminium alloys. The
type M85 multi draft rod breakdown
machines – by far the most popular
machines – are designed to draw wire
rod made of copper or aluminium from
an initial diameter of 8mm or 9.5mm,
respectively, down to a final diameter
of 1mm.
The experiences gained with these
conventionally driven machines have
been the basis of the electronically
