As steel wire prices continue to rise worldwide, many wire mesh manufacturers are seeking more cost-effective production methods to improve long-term profitability. Recently, a customer from Brazil purchased a straight line wire drawing machine and a welded wire mesh machine from DAPU to establish a new welded mesh roll production line.
The project helped the customer reduce raw material costs while improving product quality and production efficiency.
Customer Background
The Brazilian customer has many years of experience producing:
- Welded wire mesh rolls
- Hexagonal wire mesh
- Construction wire mesh products
Their products are widely supplied to:
- Construction companies
- Agricultural projects
- Hardware distributors
- Industrial wire mesh markets
Previously, the customer mainly purchased finished 1.8mm steel wire directly from local suppliers for mesh production.
However, as raw material prices increased significantly, the customer realized that relying on finished wire purchasing would continue reducing profit margins.
Customer Production Plan
To improve long-term profitability, the customer planned to purchase:
The customer intended to buy cheaper 6.5mm steel wire rod and draw the wire down to 1.8mm by themselves before welding mesh rolls.
This new production model would help the customer:
- Reduce raw material costs
- Improve profit margins
- Control wire quality
- Increase production flexibility
- Build an integrated mesh production line
Customer Requirements
During communication with DAPU engineers, the customer explained several key requirements.
Wire Diameter Requirement
The customer needed to draw:
- 6.5mm steel wire rod
to
1.8mm finished wire
The wire needed stable diameter tolerance for high-quality mesh welding.
High Surface Quality Requirement
The customer placed high importance on wire surface smoothness and finished wire quality.
Because the wire would be used for welded mesh production, rough or scratched wire surfaces could affect:
- Welding quality
- Mesh appearance
- Product consistency
Therefore, the wire drawing equipment needed to provide stable drawing performance and excellent surface finish.
Accurate Mesh Welding Requirement
For the welded wire mesh machine, the customer required:
- Accurate mesh spacing
- Stable welding points
- Small tolerance error
- Continuous roll mesh productionThe finished welded mesh rolls needed to meet local market quality standards.
DAPU Engineers Provided a Customized Solution
After fully understanding the customer’s production goals, DAPU engineers recommended a complete integrated production solution.
Straight Line Wire Drawing Machine Solution
DAPU recommended a straight line wire drawing machine instead of a pulley type wire drawing machine.
Why Straight Line Wire Drawing Machine Was More Suitable
Compared with pulley wire drawing machines, the straight line type offers:
- Better wire surface smoothness
- More stable drawing tension
- Higher wire diameter precision
- Better drawing stability
- Higher automation capability
For the Brazilian customer’s production requirements, the straight line wire drawing machine was more suitable for producing high-quality 1.8mm steel wire.
The machine could help the customer maintain stable wire quality for welded mesh production.
Welded Wire Mesh Machine Solution
DAPU also provided a welded wire mesh machine designed for roll mesh production.
The machine features included:
- Automatic wire feeding
- Precise welding control
- Stable mesh pulling system
- Continuous roll mesh production
- Accurate mesh spacing adjustment
The equipment was specially configured according to the customer’s mesh specifications and production capacity requirements.
Brazilian Customer Visited the DAPU Factory
After receiving DAPU’s technical proposal, the Brazilian customer accepted the invitation to visit the DAPU factory in China.
During the factory visit, the customer carefully inspected:
- Wire drawing process
- Wire surface quality
- Machine manufacturing quality
- Welded mesh production process
- Finished mesh accuracy
DAPU engineers demonstrated the operation of both the straight wire drawing machine and the welded wire mesh machine.
Customer Was Satisfied with the Machine Performance
During the testing process, the customer personally measured:
- Finished wire diameter
- Wire surface smoothness
- Mesh hole accuracy
- Welding precision
The customer found that:
- Wire drawing precision was highly accurate
- Wire surface quality was smooth and clean
- Mesh welding error was very small
- Machine operation was stable
The customer highly recognized DAPU’s manufacturing quality and technical capabilities.
Final Cooperation
After the factory inspection and equipment testing, the Brazilian customer confirmed the order for:
- Straight line wire drawing machine
- Welded wire mesh machine
- Supporting auxiliary equipment
The customer planned to use the new production line to expand welded mesh roll production capacity and improve long-term competitiveness in the Brazilian market.
Why the Customer Chose DAPU
The Brazilian customer selected DAPU mainly because of:
