1. Basic Concept
The wet type (water tank type) wire drawing machine is designed to draw metal wires while both the wire and drawing dies are fully immersed in a water-based cooling and lubrication medium.
It is widely used for low-carbon steel wire, medium-carbon steel wire, stainless steel wire, and especially nail wire production.
Compared with dry wire drawing machines, the wet type focuses more on temperature control, lubrication efficiency, and surface quality consistency, making it suitable for applications requiring stable wire performance.
2. Working Principle and Structure
A typical wet type wire drawing machine consists of:
-
Water tank and lubrication system, where cooling and lubrication occur simultaneously
-
Multi-pass drawing system, ensuring gradual diameter reduction
-
Drive and control system, maintaining stable drawing speed and tension balance
During operation, the wire remains in a cooled environment, effectively preventing overheating, surface oxidation, and dimensional fluctuation.
3. Technical Advantages
-
Stable temperature control
-
Improved wire surface finish
-
Extended die service life
-
Low wire breakage rate
-
Suitable for continuous and long-term operation
These features make wet type wire drawing machines particularly reliable for nail wire and precision wire production.
4. Application in Nail Manufacturing
In nail production, wire quality directly affects nail strength, straightness, and production efficiency.
Wire drawn by wet type machines offers:
-
Uniform diameter
-
Smooth surface
-
Reduced internal stress
This makes it ideal for high-speed nail making and downstream processing.
5. Typical Applications
Wet type wire drawing machines are commonly used in:
-
Nail manufacturing plants
-
Fastener factories
-
Metal wire and general metal product processing
6. Conclusion
With proven performance, stable operation, and consistent output quality, the wet type wire drawing machine remains a key piece of equipment in the wire drawing industry.
For manufacturers seeking reliable production and high-quality wire output, it continues to be a practical and trusted solution.
