Wire Lab Company Booth 2646 Wire Lab Company manufactures a comprehensive line of mechanical descaling machinery for steel wire producers. Simple-to-use basic mechanical descaling systems (such as model 920 Air Jet and model 1030 Water Jet descalers) are well suited for producers of industrial quality wire products where emphasis is on maintaining the lowest possible overall production cost. descaling systems allow customers to use wire rods of various qualities with the objective being to produce a consistently cleaned wire rod suitable for making into higher quality wire products. These Wilco descaling systems (model 1250 and model 1750 automatic wire brush descalers) incorporate the Wilco automatic rod-brushing machine into the process. More feature-rich Wilco

speeds benefit from the increased lubrication established by the pre-coating compound. The Wilco large rod scale breaker (model LRD) is designed for processing larger rods up to 19mm in diameter. Sheave offset is controlled by hydraulics, thereby allowing simple straight-through string up of the scale breaker. Wire Lab Company – USA Fax : +1 216 433 0007

The machines are believed most suitable for long parts or parts that require long strokes. The gripper dies are mounted in an independent block that is lifted by a pneumatic cylinder and easily slides out of the machine, enabling a changeover to be performed in minutes. An easily accessible nut at the back part of the machine adjusts the stroke. The machine is designed with a slim body that enables feeding of pre-bent parts either from the front or from the side. The side feed option enables feeding of pre-bent parts for the purpose of collaring. Videx – Israel Fax : +972 3536 4802

Wilco Model 1250 automatic brush descaling ▲ ▲ system

Eight circular wire brushes are positioned around the rod circumference to aggressively clean the rod surface of secondary scale and red rust – both detrimental to producing high quality wire products. More specialised Wilco descaling systems (model 1060 descaling system with lubricant pre-coating and model LRD scale breaker for large diameter rods) satisfy the needs of more specialised producers. The model 1060 as part of the mechanical descaling process applies lubricant pre-coating compound in the final stage of the mechanical descaling process.
