Features such as intelligent error tracking, nail quality monitoring, remote access, and easily accessible guidance, enable the removal of unplanned downtime and maximum utilisation of the nail manufacturer’s wire rod.

ENKOTEC is also able to supply high-speed rotary nail manufacturing machines, such as the ENKOnail+ series, which includes a conveyor featuring a new 2-bin nail delivery system. The machine has been designed for producing 1,800 nails per minute in a diameter range of 2.2mm – 2.9mm and 38mm – 90mm length. It includes a PLC control system and the new ENKOsmart system for improved production efficiency.

ENKOTEC has also added a new ENKOnail+ machine, capable of producing 1,500 pallet nails per minute in dimensions of 2.4mm – 3.84mm diameter and 50mm – 90mm length.
