drawing, bunching and enamelled wire coating • SD (steel drum reels) are large steel process and shipping drums available in sizes ranging from 800 to 4,500mm. SD steel drum reel options include flat sided flanges, corrugated flange and break-down reels. Applications include drum twisting, stranding, insulating and jacketing With more than 350,000ft 2 of production space, Inosym can provide customers with rapid delivery of both large and small reel orders.

Its solutions are focused on continuous process improvement, energy savings and longer operating life. Keir’s patented SureShot and SplitShot air wipes provide an effective drying method that does not depend on high-volume air consumption. The efficient design yields effective drying using a very low volume of compressed air and is claimed to last longer than other brands due to the rugged ceramic insert lining the wire path, equating to over 25 percent reduction in compressed air usage and an operating life of years versus months. The company’s triaxially braided composite standard and BackBone™ flyer bow constructions have greater durability than layered/laminated designs, allowing them to take more hits and endure higher stress, yielding increased operating life and less machinedowntime. Themoreaerodynamic BackBone design functions at lower power consumption and higher TPMwith improved wire quality and a further reduction in bow breakage. Up to 40 per cent less energy (amps) is used, along with a decrease in wire scrapped.
