Multiwire drawing technology – a success since mid-1980s

The automatic dual take-up EKP 8 is for building low voltage wires up to 10mm 2 conductors and with a reel range of 400-800mm. This is part of the EEL 20/Enter. New in rubber solutions is the dual-layer rubber crosshead DHR 130 for versatile rubber cable production, part of EPL 20/Extend. New in fibre optic solutions is the compression caterpillar CCA 1000 for high-speed fibre optic loose tube production, part of OEL 40/Explore. Maillefer will also be at wire China (stand W1F24) and stand 1E01 at Wire & Cable India. The MMH type lines launched in the mid-1980s are based on a modular construction concept and can be perfectly tailored to the specific requirements of each customer. Regardless of the actual material, the wires drawn on such lines show highly homogeneous characteristics which surpass the strictest specifications and processing requirements. They are ideally suited for downstream processes such as high-quality stranding or braiding. machines’ advanced construction and operation concept, more and more new units are ordered and existing MMH machines – even those of the first generations – are upgraded and modernised by Niehoff specialists.

Enter: This is a compact quality solution for more sustainable production. It is ideal for those searching for an affordable investment that is easy to start and maintain in different production environments. Extend: Extend is a lean and proven production solution for changing market needs. Its good upgradability and versatile product range guarantee a technical fit for the future. Explore: This is the ultimate in demanding deliveries with the lowest total cost of ownership. It is a high output solution to explore the market in the front row. New in medium voltage solutions is the air-cooled extruder MXI 150 with 300kg/h output for MV cable production, part of EPL 30/Enter. In close cooperation with aluminium wire manufacturers, Niehoff has expanded the MMH technology successfully to the multiwire drawing of aluminium and aluminium alloy wires. One of Niehoff’s highlights at the wire 2014 trade fair was the drawing line type MMH 104/RMA 201 designed for the simultaneous drawing of 8 or 16 aluminium or aluminium alloy wires to a minimum final diameter of 0.15mm.

More than 1,100 multiwire drawing lines of the MMH type engineered and manufactured by Maschinenfabrik Niehoff are in operation all over the world. Multiwire drawing has become a standard operation procedure in the copper wire industry – and Niehoff has a remarkable share in this development. Not only the copper wire, but also the aluminium wire industry benefits from it.
