Waterbury Farrel 12 Pass Wire Drawing Machine

描述

This 12-pass cone-type wire drawing machine is designed for precision multi-pass reduction of fine and intermediate wire across a range of materials and applications.

Featuring a full cone progression from 11" down to 1.75", the machine enables smooth, incremental reductions through each pass, providing excellent control over final wire size and surface finish. The integrated traverse winder ensures consistent coil formation and reliable take-up, making the system well-suited for laboratory, jewelry, and light production environments.

The machine is currently running and operational as shown in the video, with the traverse winder cycling smoothly and the drive system functioning as intended. While wire is not shown in the video, the machine demonstrates proper mechanical operation.

With a 2 kW drive system, this unit is optimized for fine and intermediate wire drawing rather than heavy rod breakdown. It is particularly well-suited for processing gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous alloys, where precision and consistency are critical. The machine may also be utilized for smaller diameter low-carbon steel wire with appropriate die selection, lubrication, and operating parameters.

The wide cone size range and multi-pass configuration provide flexibility to accommodate various reduction schedules, making this a versatile solution for specialty wire production, R&D, and small-scale manufacturing.

The machine retains its original belt-driven system, and updated guarding is recommended to meet modern safety standards.
