DSD is the latest drawing machine developed by Team Meccanica; a traditional multi-hole dry drawing machine, straight through type, with tilted blocks and sensing arms (tuner type) for speed synchronisation, but with a newly developed driving system without gear-boxes, pulleys or belts. The advantage of this system lies in the reduced maintenance of rotating parts and in improved mechanical efficiency and power saving. The cooling system of the capstan was completely redesigned to improve the wire cooling. It consists of nozzles spraying high-pressure water directly onto the internal surface of the capstans. The system uses four times the amount of water, compared to traditional narrow-gap systems, but the water is recycled in a closed circuit system. Wire drawing with DSD
