THE BH-S is a green dry cleaning process of great potential
used in-line in the most demanding applications, allowing
the highest cleaning speed with all steel wires (including
0.90%C), mechanically descaled or acid cleaned, bare or
pre-coated, drawn with calcium and sodium lubricants.
Applications include wire cleaning from lubricant residue, or
other contaminants, prior to galvanising, metallic coatings,
Al or Cu cladding, heat treatment, etc, and wire rod cleaning
prior to drawing.
Development of the BH-S wire dry cleaning system provides
the ultimate combination of simplicity and effectiveness,
replacing the most costly operations in wire cleaning
processes, including replacement of acid, ultrasonic and
other wet chemicals, generating substantial cost savings,
environmental benefits and improvement in productivity of
clean H/C and L/C wires.
The BH-S system is particularly recommended for cleaning
applications in which a conventional process is inappropriate,
especially with wires drawn upon severe conditions resulting
in increased heat and burned lubricant tightly bound to the
wire surface and embedded in micro-cavities.
Basically, the BH-S is a smooth and sensitive multi-layer
micro-shaving/abrading that finely impact wire surface
separating lubricant residue from base material, evacuating
away dispersed contaminants by moving wire, exiting the
unit extra clean of white-metal appearance at extreme
speed, operating at virtually zero energy consumption.
