Profile Wire Rolling Technology for Copper and Aluminum

DEM supplies equipment and complete lines for production of copper wire starting from ETP, OF and/or other alloys as well as aluminum wire. The wire
is then used in oil transformers as CTC or insulated strip, in motors and generators as enameled strips, in EV automotive as enameled hairpins, in supply lines as railway trolley wire and overhead cranes bars and in power distribution as cables or clad wire. The copper alloys are used in electronics as connectors and
in the mechanical industry, such as automotive, as brazing wire. DEM offers rolling mills and drawing lines as well as integrated facilities that include extrusion lines and annealing facilities. DEM rolling mills can be equipped with flattening and edging as well as 4-roll precision stands, often called turk-heads, roll-driven or with wire pulled by capstans, all in 5 or 7 stand configurations.
