How Brush Can Lower Production Costs and Improve Runnability?
2025-11-04
In the world of wire drawing machinery, production volume is extremely important. Because manufacturers spend so much money on drawing machinery and wire forming equipment, they expect that machinery to produce at a high volume and quality. When this doesn’t happen, the blame game starts — usually focused on the operator, the equipment or the vendor.
Often, however, the real culprits are not the equipment or the operator, but the raw material itself. In the process of drawing or forming wire, scale and residual lubricants are inevitable. When they’re not managed properly, they can have a significant impact on the overall operation of the line. The most common issues that arise are:
- Incomplete scale removal or clinging fine particulates
- Residual lubricants gumming up dies or wire straighteners
All of these can affect forming, final finish, or prematurely wear out dies, as well as force line-speed reduction and frequent shutdowns. The impact of scale and residual lubricants on wire runnability can be huge. On the plus side, these problems are relatively easy to manage without huge expense or reengineering.
Wire descaling and cleaning brushes come in a variety of materials, sizes and textures to optimize the condition of the wire surface, pre- or post-process. It is not expected that the brushes alone will replace existing descaling equipment or methods. They are, however, a proven cost-effective tactic that increases process efficiency and final product quality.
Depending on your objective, brushes can:
- Quickly remove excess scale to improve traditional mechanical descaling processes
- Extend die life
- Easily remove excess lubricants and residue
- Improve uniform lubricant adhesion
- Enhance drawing and bending machine performance and reliability
- Optimize surface finish and brightness
- Reduce the costs associated with chemical descaling
At Bursten, we produce brush types designed for each wire type, material, size, finish requirement, drawing operation, or final product configurations. In addition, they are very easy to install and can be changed out in seconds.
