Precision Water Tank Wire Drawing Machine (Wet Drawing Type):
Description:
The DAPU precision water-tank wire drawing machine guarantees a smooth wire surface. For the production of fine and ultra-fine wires, unlike dry drawing, this equipment uses a fully submerged (wet-drawing) process. The lubricant effectively reduces friction and dissipates heat, ensuring a bright and flawless finish on the finished wire.
Equipped with a high-speed frequency converter and a multi-pass drawing system, this machine can stably produce high-quality fine wires while maintaining speed.
Raw Materials:
Wire and Cable Industry: Particularly suitable for drawing high-performance copper core wires, ensuring conductivity and uniformity.
Precision Industrial Wires: Capable of stably processing fine stainless steel wires, meeting the requirements of highly corrosion-resistant industries such as filter screens and braided wire mesh.
Non-ferrous Metal Processing: For brass wires and other alloy wires, our tank-type process effectively protects surface finish.
Specification:
| Model | DP-350 |
|---|---|
| Raw material | Annealed galvanized wire, black wire, etc |
| Inlet wire diameter | 3.0mm, 2.5mm, 2.2mm, 2.0mm etc |
| Output wire diameter | 1.4mm, 1.2mm, 1.1mm, 0.8mm, 0.6mm, etc |
| Drawing speed | Max.700m/min |
| Motor capacity | 22kw/30kw/45kw |
| Inverter | 22kw/30kw/45kw |
| Weight | 1800kg |

DAPU Engineer advice: If your cable requires extremely high surface quality and its diameter is less than 1mm, a tank-type cable is the preferred choice; if you are dealing with high-strength, rigid cables and are prioritizing efficiency, a straight-line type is the only option. Unsure? Simply send us your cable material and target dimensions, and we will help you find the right fit.
