EME expands its production with multi-steps wire drawing lines

EME - Elettro Meccanica Erbese is an Italy-based company boasting a solid expertise in manufacturing machinery for the steel industry. The enterprise has recently broadened its product range by introducing multi-steps wire drawing lines, the first to be developed featuring 10-steps.

Multi-steps wire drawing lines: how do they work?

Used for drawing wire, multi-steps drawing lines - as the name suggests - operate through a series of steps. The material is pulled through multiple dies with progressively decreasing diameters, reducing the wire section until it meets the desired diameter and specific dimensional requirements.

Using an electronic layering device, the material is then precisely wound onto the spool through the winder, optimizing winding quality. The machine features a central hydraulic system for coil lifting control. EME's wire drawing line allows for incremental reductions per step, ranging from 24% to 12%, and can be configured for consecutive steps to produce a finished product with exceptionally tight dimensional tolerances.

EME's multi-steps wire drawing lines are designed to process aluminum and its alloys, reaching a speed of 25 m/s, and typically consist of:

- Unwinder;
- Wet or dry drawing machine;
- Winder.

Input diameter: 3.40 - 2.2 mm
Output diameter: 1.2 - 0.8 mm

The company also introduces a specialized 5-steps wire drawing line designed for converting flat material to round, featuring a flat input size of 2.5 mm and an output diameter of Ø 1 mm. See the photo below illustrating the 5-step system:
