rod breakdown machine

This machine was specifically designed for high speed production of wire where floor space is limited. The Zenith step cone type rbd is supplied with 4 three step drawing capstans, a finishing capstan and 13 die positions as standard. The use of AC inverter will give a wider finishing speeds. Drafting is at a constant 20.6%.

The machine is constructed of a rigid fabricated housing comprising of four Drawing capstan shafts. The drawing capstan is supplied with three diameter steps. All pull-blocks including the capstan shaft assembly are completely enclosed. All dies are located inside the machine and spray lubrication of the wire and drawing capstan is employed, the dies being lubricated by jets at entry and exit.

Features: 

• Easy installation 
• Maintenance free 
• Robust construction 
• Easy to maintain

Brief Explanation:

Modular design enables this machine to be supplied with 7, 10, 13 or 16 dies, dependent on the required duty. The drawing capstans can be fitted with replaceable HCHCR or Tungsten Carbide coated rings.
Tandem type machines are ideal for the drawing of high quality copper, aluminium and aluminium alloy.

The drawing and the finishing capstan have a diameter of 450mm.Each drawing capstan is offset progressively along the wire line to provide a nearly straight wire entry into each die.

Die holders are fully adjustable to the natural arc of the wire. The finishing die holder is of the motorised revolving type. Facilities for driving a Drive arrangement for continuous annealer are provided at the rear of the capstan shaft.

The motor is positioned behind the machine and is connected by flexible couplings to an internal gearbox. 

Spray lubrication of the die holder and drawing capstan is employed on this machine. Dies are being lubricated by jets at entry and exit. Feed and drain connections are provided for connection to a lubricant storage system (which is not supplied).

Standard equipment includes an inching pedal stretching the length of the machine and a broken wire switch.
