Speed and precision: the strengths of the wire degreaser by Vassena

Speed, versatility, and maintenance-free design — these are the key features of this degreasing machine for drawn wire, enabling effective surface cleaning at speeds up to 25 m/s. The system consists of two abrasive units rotating in opposite directions, each driven by an independent motor with inverter control for precise speed adjustment.

To guarantee maximum operational flexibility, interchangeable abrasive cubes with different grit sizes — from coarse (36) to fine (320) — are available to meet the cleaning needs of a wide range of industrial applications.

The machine can be configured with 20 or 40 wiping pads, adjustable with screws and springs, depending on the wire diameter. Furthermore, it is modular and is designed to be installed after the last die.

Thanks to its modular structure, two units can be combined to achieve even more effective wire cleaning. The machine specifications are as follows:

Applicable motor power (recommended): 1.1 kW
Maximum motor speed: 1400 rpm
Motor frequency: 50 Hz
Maximum machine speed: 470 rpm
Dimensions (L x W x H): approx. 896 x 550 x 1090 mm for the single machine and 1533 x 550 x 1090 mm for the double machine.
