Wire & Rod Equipment For Your Application

International Rolling Mills supplies and refurbishes equipment for reducing, shaping, flattening, drawing and winding wire and rod. Our primary specialties include wire and rod rolling mills, grooved-roll systems and wire flattening machines.

We work with conventional alloys and high-value materials where roll profile, pass sequence and surface condition require particular attention.

Wire & Rod Rolling Mills

Single-stand mills can be configured with flat or grooved rolls for round, square, shaped and specialty profiles. Multiple groove passes may be used for progressive reductions.

Groove dimensions describe the tooling, not a guaranteed final wire size. Actual dimensions depend on spread, fill, material condition, temperature and pass schedule.

Tandem Wire & Rod Mills

Multiple rolling stands can be arranged in sequence for progressive reduction. Stand sizing, groove geometry, transfer speed and any interstand tension must be coordinated for the material and intended process.

Wire Flattening Mills

Wire flattening mills convert round wire into flat ribbon or shaped strip. Applications include electronic materials, brazing alloys, spring stock, connectors and research samples.

Roll finish, alignment, tension and thickness control are important when processing narrow or high-value materials.

Bull Blocks & Wire Drawing

Drawing equipment pulls wire through a die to reduce and shape its cross-section. IRM can review bull blocks and available wire drawing machines against the alloy, starting size, finished section and operating requirements.

Traverse Winding

Traverse winders distribute wire or narrow strip across a spool or reel. Winding format, tension, speed and package dimensions should be coordinated with the upstream process.

Shaping & Auxiliary Machinery

Depending on availability and project scope, IRM can supply swagers, turkshead shaping equipment and related machinery, and review refurbishment or integration with existing equipment.
