Decalub Stand: 10E72 Visitors to the Decalub stand will be able to see and obtain information on the following items: Top 10 innovations from Decalub that are rapidly changing the current state of: • Rod descaling and drawing: 1.1m (43") long portable unit dry cleans, prepares and draws 5.5mm 0.83-0.88%C uncoated rod, enabling output of 2.2 tonne/hour of frictionless drawn wire at 18m/s (3,600ft/m) – by DCCD process • Wire drawing speed continues to rise: Where the heat has gone? • High-melting lubricants (melting range 195°C-240°C/374°F- 464°F for H/C applications) are thermally activated to form a high-density anti-wear anti-friction coat instantaneously deposited on mechanically descaled uncoated rod in a dry application with no speed limit – completely eliminating the need for wet pre-coating chemicals – by LVC/PDH process • Lubrication problems eliminated: Die-stand incorporates unique technology which thermally activates a solid lubricant to instantaneously form a single or dual layer of an anti-wear and anti-friction coat on mechanically descaled uncoated rod or wire, in a completely dry application, at zero energy consumption, generating lubricant exceptional thermal stability in all drafts at highest drawing speed – by PDH process • Replacement of conventional rod wet preparation, including chemical cleaning/rinsing/wet pre-coating and drying, by the new totally dry cleaning, coating and drawing (DCCD) process, generates immediate saving of 50-64 per cent in production cost of drawn wire. DCCD process operates at 'zero' maintenance cost as there is no acid, no hot liquid tanks for rod pre-coating, no hot air blowers to dry wet rod and the process operates at virtually zero energy consumption • Wire cleaning: BHW system incorporates new technology which enables normal plant water to be converted into the most unique ‘micro-abrading liquid’ agent used to clean drawn wire at high speed, at virtually zero energy consumption, providing very clean wire of white-metal appearance, prior to coating or heat treatment, including galvanising and annealing • Cold-heading wire: GP/PDH system creates cold-heading wire essentially regarded for its high-density anti-friction coat and anti-corrosive transparent protective lm, enabling cold-heading applications from single blow up to 4-5 die blow progress (replacing phosphate and its wet substitutes) Decalub – France Fax : +33 160 202 021 Email : info@decalub.com Website : www.decalub.com

Dornieden Stand: 05C01

Be it steel, stainless steel or aluminium – the highest precision is of prime concern. High-tech-orientated machines and plant make up the basis of Dornieden’s product range, from the original concept, right up to assembly and initial runs before going into service at the nal location. Highly skilled experts are employed at Dornieden and every fourth sta member is either a technician or an engineer in a
