  3. Adjust speed, tension, and lubrication flow based on wire type and diameter.

  4. Monitor wire output for diameter uniformity, surface finish, and tension.

  5. Collect the finished wire using the capstan or winder system.

  6. Regularly maintain dies, lubrication system, and other mechanical components.

5. Case Study: Copper Wire Manufacturer

A mid-sized copper wire producer adopted a Wet Drawing Machine to produce 1.0 mm and 2.5 mm copper wires. Within one year:

  • Surface quality improved by 90%, eliminating micro-scratches and defects.

  • Production efficiency increased by 25% due to high-speed continuous operation.

  • Die lifespan extended by 40% thanks to lubrication reducing wear and heat.

  • Energy consumption decreased, optimizing motor and lubrication efficiency.

  • Waste reduction improved, as the wet drawing process minimizes defective wire.

This demonstrates that wet drawing machines deliver precise, efficient, and durable wire production solutions.

6. Solving Customer Pain Points
