Pre-heating stainless steel wire 05 December 2016

Primarily focused on the ceramic industry since 1976, Italian-based Tecnopress Srl is currently concentrating on its wire Heather SCF unit, which is designed to pre-heat stainless steel wire of 3mm to 16mm diameter before cold heading.

Tecnopress explains that the wire Heather SCF unit carries out the pre-heating, up to 300°C, by converting the electric power into heat onto the wire only, thus providing a uniform distribution of the temperature and improving the material plasticity. The unit is also fixed on wheels, which means that it is very handy and can be adapted to different heights.
“Since we launched the wire Heather SCF unit a few years ago we have sold 200+ units,” explains Tecnopress. “We are present in markets all over the world and have distinguished ourselves through the quality of our products and service.”
