Machine Portfolio
Complete drawing technology from heavy rod to fine wire
Wironex offers a broad machine family so the line concept can be selected around the actual wire product rather than forcing the product into one machine architecture.
Zero-Slip Drawing
Application-specific low-slip / zero-slip concepts where surface quality, thermal control and process consistency are critical.
Wet Drawing
High-speed slip-controlled wet drawing systems for fine wire and welding-wire applications.
Bull Block Drawing
Single-block heavy drawing solutions for specific reduction, finishing and production requirements.
Inverted Vertical Drawing
Heavy-duty vertical drawing and coiling concepts for large packages and robust industrial applications.
Turnkey Drawing Lines
Rod preparation, descaling, drawing, heat treatment, coating, accumulation and take-up can all be integrated within the Wironex scope.

Thermal Management
Cooling is part of the drawing process
High-speed drawing performance depends on controlling heat at the wire, die and capstan. Wironex uses an intensive multi-path cooling philosophy based on proven high-performance European drawing-machine practice.
Capstan Water Cooling
Internal water circulation is designed to provide controlled heat extraction around the working area of the block and maintain stable thermal conditions at high production rates.
Die-Box Cooling
Direct or indirect die cooling is selected according to wire size, reduction, lubricant and process duty. Cooling channels and die-holder geometry are engineered to minimize localized overheating.
Wire Cooling
Additional wire cooling can be incorporated between drafts or at selected process points where the calculated thermal load requires it.
Lubricant Temperature Control
Lubricant / coolant circulation, filtration and temperature stabilization can be integrated to maintain repeatable drawing conditions.
Heat-Load Calculation
Block size, reduction, speed and motor power are evaluated together so cooling capacity is selected from the actual operating window.
High-Speed Stability
Cooling, tension control and drive synchronization are treated as one system to support high-speed, energy-efficient and low-maintenance operation.
Die-Box Technology
Lubrication, cooling and wire guidance in one controlled zone
Die-box configuration is selected according to wire chemistry, reduction, lubricant and required surface condition.
Conventional Soap Box
Robust dry-lubricant boxes with controlled wire path and replaceable wear components.
Pressure Die Option
Pressure-die arrangements can be used where improved lubricant transport and die lubrication are required.
Rotating Die Option
Rotating die technology is available for selected dry and wet drawing applications to improve wear distribution and process stability.
Direct / Indirect Die Cooling
Die holder and box cooling can be configured for direct or indirect water cooling according to duty.
Dust & Lubricant Management
Enclosed extraction and lubricant containment options can be integrated for cleaner operation and easier maintenance.
Operator-Friendly Access
Die changing, cleaning and adjustment points are arranged for practical access and reduced maintenance time.
