It reduces the diameter of carbon steel and zinc steel wires at high speed in a straight‑line drawing process to produce finished or semi‑finished wire for construction, automotive, electrical and industrial applications.
Key specs include Siemens PLC bus control, operating voltage 380V (customizable), capacity ~1.4 t/h, maximum line speed up to 20 m/s, total power about 180 kW, dimensions 26.3 × 2.5 × 3 m, and weight ~30,000 kg.
It is designed for carbon steel and zinc steel wire. The applicable wire diameter range depends on tooling (dies) and process setup; please consult Hylite with your required inlet/outlet diameters so they can recommend or supply the correct die pack and configuration.
The machine uses a Siemens PLC bus control system for stable, programmable operation. This enables automatic grade operation, setpoint control for speed and tension, and integration with factory automation; additional I/O or remote monitoring options can be provided upon request.
A three‑phase power supply (standard 380V or customized), adequate electrical distribution sized for a 180 kW load, a suitable concrete foundation and lifting equipment for installation are required. Specific site requirements (grounding, cable size, breakers) will be provided in the installation manual.
Maximum line speed is up to 20 meters per second. Typical production capacity is about 1.4 tonnes per hour, but actual output depends on wire diameter, material, and process parameters.
Primary consumables include drawing dies, lubrication media, wire guides and bearings. Die life depends on material, reduction ratio and maintenance; a die‑wear monitoring and replacement plan is recommended.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning and inspecting dies and guides, monitoring and topping up lubricants, checking PLC and electrical connections, verifying alignment and tension systems, and scheduled replacement of wear parts per manufacturer recommendations.
Hylite typically provides operator training, commissioning assistance and technical documentation. Confirm training scope and after‑sales support terms with your supplier or sales representative.
Standard safety features include emergency stop circuits integrated with the Siemens PLC, guarded moving parts, and interlocks. Site‑specific safety measures (machine guarding, operator PPE such as hearing protection) should be implemented per local regulations.
Yes. Voltage options are customizable and Hylite can adapt tooling, die sets and certain process modules to meet specific wire diameters, materials and production requirements. Discuss customization needs with the manufacturer for an option quote.
High‑speed wire drawing generates noise and some vibration. Actual levels vary with speed, mounting and enclosure. It is recommended to provide sound‑insulation or enclosures and ensure the foundation is designed to minimize vibration transmission; operators should use hearing protection as appropriate.
The machine is large and heavy (approx. 30,000 kg) and will be shipped in packages; single package size is listed as 100 × 30 × 45 cm for smaller components. Lead time and shipping method depend on order configuration and destination—confirm with the supplier for delivery schedule and on‑site installation services.
Warranty terms and spare parts availability are provided by Hylite or the selling distributor and should be agreed at purchase. Most manufacturers offer a standard warranty period and optional spare parts kits and service agreements—ask your sales contact for details.
