Wire drawing lines

The wire drawing process consists in an elongation of the material (copper wire, aluminum wire, aluminum alloy wire, etc.) produced mechanically by the pulling of the wire through one or various dies by some drawing capstans in order to reduce its diameter progressively. This transformation is carried out without any loss of material. At the end of operation, the exact weight of the material that came into the drawing machine at its inlet will be coming out of it at the outlet. The wire, though, will be longer and its diameter will have been reduced during its transformation.
Depending on the material which is drawn and depending on the application after the drawing process, the wire, which has become much harder and brittle during its transformation, might need to be annealed after the drawing operation in order to give it back its basic mechanical properties.
Depending on the needs and requirements of our customers, all our drawing lines can be supplied either with DC motors using state-of-the-art drives and components or with the latest technology’s AC motors controlled by frequency variators.
Do not hesitate to ask our engineers about your needs and technical requirements! TECALSA can manufacture the machine you dream about!

1.- WIRE ROD BREAKDOWN LINES

High performance, longer lifespan, easy maintenance and low wear and tear! Our rod breakdown lines for copper, aluminum and aluminum alloy are the safest bet to realize the first step of your production. Wire dies with pressure chamber. Transmission can be done via belts (for an easier maintenance) or each capstan can be motorized (for maximum performance), this latter solution allows drawing not only one wire, but even two wires at the same time.
