The highest standards of cleanliness for wire drawing machines
Our superior detergent additives ensure that our lubricool range of lubricants maintain the highest standards of cleanliness within the copper wire drawing machine.
Common issues within the wire drawing process, such as bacterial build-up and fungal attacks are greatly reduced with Lubricool’s improved resistance. We offer in-house sample testing, which assures you of continued care and solutions when using our products.
High resistance lubricant for unmatched stability
Lubricool™ offers unmatched emulsion stability against the competition, this ensures that our wire drawing lubricant has a higher resistance to soap formation within the wire drawing machine and more stability within the wire drawing process overall.
This leads to the maximum sump life of the product, cutting down on restocking and maintenance costs overall.
The ultimate protection in wire drawing
Due to Lubricool’s superior protective capabilities, our lubricant can offer heightened protection, ensuring that minimum wire breakage is reduced within the drawing process. Cutting down on maintenance, downtime and offering further savings.
Our wire drawing lubricant has excellent filterability on both media (paper) types and hydrocyclone systems. As well as improved anti-corrosion protections for your machine parts and wire surfaces.
Why is lubricant needed for the wire drawing process?
Lubricants play a vital role in the wire drawing process by significantly reducing the friction that occurs between the wire and the die. This reduction in friction not only allows for the necessary slip of the wire on the capstan helping to manage speed differential, it also creates a smoother drawing process contributing to a finer surface finish on the wire.
Additionally, wire drawing lubricant aids in heat management, effectively dissipating the heat generated from the friction. This helps prevent potential damage to both the wire and the die from overheating.
Lubricants contribute to the longevity of the drawing dies by minimising wear and tear, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, which in turn lowers operational costs.
This preservation of the die’s condition also ensures that the quality of the wire remains consistent, as it prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that could otherwise alter the wire’s properties.
