Mechanical Wire Descaler with Wire Brushing Unit

Mechanical wire descalers with subsequent wire brushing are employed in line with wire drawing equipment in order to clean rod and wire of its mill scale and surface rust. These unit clean the rod or wire prior to entering the wire drawing machine, thus improving draw ability and reducing die wear by means of a smooth and clean wire. Such a unit eliminates the need to chemically descale the wire in a previous/separate process. The brushing units are also suitable to remove residual lubricants or debris by implementation of other less abrasive brushes.

The Advantages of Mechanical Wire Descalers

• Environmentally Friendly – No chemicals
• In-Line with Drawing Machinery - Installed in front of machinery to clean wire as needed
• Reduced Die Wear - Smooth wire reduces friction on die
• Improved Lubrication of Wire - Lubricant adheres well to descaled and brushed wire
• Small Foot Print - Unit occupies little space
• Improved Wire finish - All scale and surface rust removed to allow for bright wire finish
