Company Profile

An Experienced Team,
Built to Deliver
Overseas.

This intermediate wire drawing machine is suitable for wire and cable factories that need stable wire reduction between rod breakdown and fine wire drawing or stranding processes. According to the source specification, the Z17 and Z17B models cover copper outlet wire from 0.40-2.0 mm and aluminum outlet wire from 0.60-2.50 mm, while the Z17-280 model is designed for copper wire from 0.80-2.76 mm.

The production line can be configured with T1000, T2000 or T3000 annealer models, and can use single spooler, double spooler or coiler take-up systems. This makes the equipment suitable for copper wire drawing, aluminum wire drawing, soft annealed wire production and cable conductor preparation.
