Rotating Die Units

Rotating die holders are a very easy way to increase productivity and reduce die wear on wire drawing lines. The die itself is continuously being cooled by means of re-circulating water around the die as the die rotates around the wire during the wire drawing operation. Lubrication boxes are also provided to hold dry or liquid lubricants.

Advantages over Stationary Die Units are : Longer die life - slower & even die wear Less wire breaks - cooler drawing temperatures Less maintenance down-time Eliminates oval die wear – higher wire tolerance Reduce drawing temperatures Improved lubrication of wire Improved Wire finish - less wire scarring Faster line speeds
Rotating Die Unit Manufactured according to production requirements Motorized or with roller pulley rotation Available in fast or slow rotation Able to house 1 or 2 dies for a pressure die system Models to accommodate variety of die sizes Various sizes of lubricating boxes Liquid emulsion lubricant lube boxes
Standard Die Holder Model-Sizes FA10: 1.5" up to 2" die OD FA63: Up to 2.5" die OD FA100: Up to 3.5" die OD
Special Indirect Cooling Die is indirectly cooled through a special re-circulating mechanism This system avoids maintenance issues with leaky gaskets Avoids possibility of seizing the rotating mechanism due to leaks
