Inverted Wire Drawing Machine DLS-100

Efficient Wire Production with the DLS-100

The DLS-100 Inverted Wire Drawing Machine is a key piece of equipment for manufacturers requiring precise wire diameter reduction. This machine is specifically engineered to efficiently transform larger diameter wire rod or wire into smaller, finished wire sizes, preparing it for subsequent processing or end-use applications.

What is Wire Drawing?

Wire drawing is a fundamental metalworking process that involves pulling a wire through a die or series of dies. This action reduces the cross-sectional area of the wire and increases its length, while also improving its mechanical properties like tensile strength and surface finish. It is a critical step in producing wires for various applications, from construction materials to finished goods components.

The Benefits of the Inverted Design

Unlike traditional drawing machines where the wire is wound onto spools or blocks at height, the inverted design of the DLS-100 offers distinct advantages. In this configuration, the drawing capstan is positioned above the coiling area. As the wire is drawn, it descends onto a carrier or platform, forming a neat coil directly below. This gravity-assisted coiling method simplifies handling and allows for the production of large, heavy coils without the need for complex overhead lifting during coiling. This design is particularly beneficial for continuous processing lines and managing bulk output efficiently within a manufacturing facility.

DLS-100 Operational Principle

The DLS-100 model embodies this effective inverted bull block technology. Its operation involves feeding the wire into the machine, passing it through the drawing die mounted on the machine frame, and then wrapping it around the rotating capstan. The controlled rotation of the capstan pulls the wire through the die, reducing its diameter. The drawn wire then accumulates below, creating a finished coil ready for transport or further processing. This design promotes stable operation and facilitates the direct collection of finished product, streamlining the production flow.

Applications for Drawn Wire

While specific wire types and sizes processed depend on the machine's setup and the installed dies, inverted wire drawing machines like the DLS-100 are commonly used for drawing various metal wires, including mild steel, high carbon steel, and other alloys. The drawn wire finds applications in numerous industries, such as construction (reinforcement wire, mesh), manufacturing (fasteners, springs), agriculture, and fencing. The DLS-100 is designed to support these diverse industrial requirements by providing a reliable method for wire dimension reduction.
