Multiwire drawing technology – a success since mid-1980s
More than 1,100 multiwire drawing
lines of the MMH type engineered and
manufactured by Maschinenfabrik Niehoff
are in operation all over the world.
Multiwire drawing has become a
standard operation procedure in the
copper wire industry – and Niehoff
has a remarkable share in this
development. Not only the copper
wire, but also the aluminium wire
industry benefits from it.
In close cooperation with aluminium
wire manufacturers, Niehoff has
expanded the MMH technology
successfully to the multiwire drawing
of aluminium and aluminium alloy
wires. One of Niehoff’s highlights
at the wire 2014 trade fair was the
drawing line type MMH 104/RMA 201
designed for the simultaneous drawing
of 8 or 16 aluminium or aluminium
alloy wires to a minimum final diameter
of 0.15mm.
The MMH type lines launched in the
mid-1980s are based on a modular
construction concept and can be
perfectly tailored to the specific
requirements of each customer.
Regardless of the actual material, the
wires drawn on such lines show highly
homogeneous characteristics which
surpass the strictest specifications
and processing requirements. They
are ideally suited for downstream
processes such as high-quality
stranding or braiding.
Because of the MMH machines’
advanced construction and operation
concept, more and more new units are
ordered and existing MMH machines
– even those of the first generations
– are upgraded and modernised by
Niehoff specialists.
