PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Basically, Modular Coating machine is used for coating the De-Scaled and brushed wire rod surface with Borax. Borax acts as protective coating on the wire rod and also lubricant carrier during wire rod drawing process. It is very essential to water wash the de-scaled & brushed wire before the borax coating and dry the borax coated wire with the help of hot air before the wire enters into the wire drawing machine. Hence, a Coating machine is developed to carry out this preparation process.

Modular coating Machine performs the following functions,
1) Removes the residues and micro particles deposited on the de-scaled & brushed wire rod using hot water wash with an adequate pressure.
2) The wire rod thus washed will pass through a chamber flooded with hot Borax solution and gets coated.
3) Drying the Borax Coating: The main objective of this process is to regenerate the crystals on the surface of the wire which was dissolved in the borax solution and thus give the wire a surface texture which will act as protective coating & lubricant carrier during the wire drawing process.
