High performance wire drawing lines GCR Eurodraw has developed a full range of high-performance wire dry drawing equipment. The range of machines starts from the largest machines, the MTS 1200 and the MTS 900, suitable to draw high carbon steel wire with inlet diameters up to 18.00 and 16.00mm, and ends with the smallest MTX 180 machine, suitable for wire sizes down to 0.1mm. For the medium to large wire diameter range, GCR Eurodraw proposes the MTS 760, the MTS 710 and the MTS 660. All these three models are suitable for high carbon steel wire as well as for low and medium carbon contents. As with all the other wire drawing machines, customisation is possible with a wide range of dedicated accessories. The next family of wire drawing machines is represented by the MTS 630, the MTS 610 and the MTS 560. The MTS 610 is the GCR Eurodraw workhorse. It includes the highly efficient Turbo Cold narrow gap cooling system, the exclusive GCR Eurodraw user-friendly die holder, and many small smart features developed and integrated over the years, always following the suggestions and feedback from valued customers. Finally, for the thinner wire sizes, GCR Eurodraw has developed the MTX range of machines, available in capstan sizes from 500mm down to 180mm, with intermediate models such as the MTX 400, 350, 300 and 250. The MTX machines integrate the electrical panel on board the machine and may also integrate the cooling system with an on-board refrigerator. In this way, the machine needs only the power connection and is ready to run. The transmission is unique: there are no belts or pulleys and the motor is directly connected to the gearbox, therefore avoiding any need of belt change or tensioning over time. Lubricants a speciality Agena, a leading Brazilian supplier of copper wire drawing lubricants, offers a complete line of aluminium and copper lubricants and coolants. Choosing the proper compound for high lubrication, prolonged life, cleanliness yet improving the die life, work environment and reducing costs is the main job of an Agena technical representative.
