Reconditioning of Annealing Hubs - double the lifetime

Annealing hubs for contact annealers are among the most wear prone components in wire drawing. However, surface quality relates directly to the quality of the wire. Therefore, these hubs need to be changed frequently to maintain a specified product quality, particularly in the finishing process of fine wire.

WireTrex offers to rebuild these annealing hubs as an economically interesting alternative to purchasing new hubs. Not only can we erase grooves but we will provide you with a high-gloss surface of outstanding quality. With thin walled solid nickel hubs we can exceed the surface quality of commonly available new hubs. Nickel coated steel hubs will be re-coated with nickel and polished to provide you with a high gloss surface

Reconditioning of Drawing Ceramics - in bright quality

Despite their superior wear resistance drawing tools made from technical ceramics like zirconium oxide experience increasing wear during production. Especially in the process of drawing finished materials the condition of drawing tools has a direct influence on product quality. Therefore these tools have to be changed frequently for quality reasons long before reaching the end of their useful life.

WireTrex offers to recondition these tools as an economically interesting alternative to new purchases. Not only will we erase wear marks but we refurbish your tools to a high gloss surface of like-new quality. When reconditioning step-cones we will also maintain the aspect ratio of the individual steps as per your specifications.

Reconditioning of wire guide pulleys – perfect surface for high wire quality

High-grade guide pulleys for wire or rope typically have a groove that has been coated with oxide ceramic. It is either a ceramic coated metal pulley or a composite pulley with solid ceramic insert and steel or aluminum flanges. These pulleys are valuable and important components that have direct influence on the quality of wire. By refurbishing the surface of these often expensive pulleys WireTrex offers their customers an opportunity to maintain a high level of product quality while saving costs at the same time. WireTrex reconditions pulleys by erasing wear marks and grooves and creating a new, high gloss surface of superior quality. The reconditioning of high-grade wear components is a specialty of WireTrex. We will be pleased to assist you with your special needs; send us an inquiry or schedule a visit to your facility.
