Mechanical descaling brushes for low carbon rods

With more than 30 years of experience in the wire drawing field, OMERLER supplies mechanical descaling brushes for low carbon rods.

Mechanical descaling by reverse bending has been widespread since the ‘50s for the surface preparation of rods. However, this method alone is not enough to remove the scales entirely. In fact, it can only clean up to 80-90% of the imperfections. The smallest scales and the scale dust, left on the wire surface, creates the risk of contaminating the lubricant—significantly reducing the die life.

To address this issue, secondary cleaning operations are crucial. In this sense, OMERLER supplies steel descaling brushes, a simple yet effective device to remove the last debris on the wire rods.

Advantages:
- higher wire drawing speeds;
- longer die live;
- cleaner wire surface.

To manufacture a clean wire, you need to begin with a clean wire rod. Get in touch with OMERLER for more information.
