Wire Drawing Lubricants
Bechem products provide maximum efficiency and performance for the entire production chain. For all process steps, from continuous cast rod, drawing, annealing, and downstream processing, BECHEM developed a fine-tuned product series offering a wide range of benefits.. Through extended lifespan, maintenance time and costs are reduced, productivity is increased, and process continuity is improved. cost-intensive damage and machine downtime can be prevented with Bechem lubricants.
With its BECHEM Starlit and BECHEM Unopol product lines, BECHEM offers a highly capable range of products for wire drawing that exceed growing customer requirements in terms of environmental regulations, optimizing processes and combining methods. BECHEM products achieve high lubricity as well as excellent detergency and ensure surface qualities that do not require further treatment.
Rod breakdown
From an initial diameter of approx. 8 mm, the wire is drawn to a final diameter of 3.5 to 1 mm. The quality of the input rod is crucial for the end product. Production errors occurring in the first steps of the process can have a negative impact on the following drawing steps.
Selection of the drawing emulsion is extremely important in achieving optimal rod breakdown results. Products such as BECHEM products stand for excellent performance and reliability in forming, service life, corrosion protection and even dirt- carrying detergency.
Fine Wire Drawing
In fine wire drawing, multi wire machines are standard. At high speeds of more than 30 meters per second, up to 42 wires are drawn simultaneously with a inlet size of 1.8 to an outlet size of 0.05 mm. Malfunctions or even wire breaks have major effects on the production process in terms of time and money. Drawing emulsion tailored to the conditions is crucial and offers a major competitive edge. Bechem products ensure a high degree of reliability. Long service life of drawing dies and emulsion as well as clean machines reduce costs while boosting efficiency.
