Why the Wire Industry Demanded the Next Generation of Copper Wire Drawing Lubricants
How Lubricool™ 955 Sets a New Standard in Copper Wire Drawing Lubrication for a Leading European Wire Producer
A leading European wire producer faced several critical challenges on their 28-wire NIEHOFF machine, including copper soap deposits, high levels of bacteria and fungus, and difficulty obtaining accurate refractometer readings.
Here’s what Lubricool™ 955 achieved:
Improved Emulsion Stability: Key performance and process efficiency improved.
Copper Soap-Free: No copper soap formation on dies or capstans with zero additives required.
Increased Sump Life: No emulsion change required for 14 months and counting!
Reduced Cleaning Intervals: The frequency of cleaning significantly improved.
High Performance: Meets the demands of high wire counts and drawing speeds, with the lowest wire breakage ratio in the group.
