RENOVATION SERVICE

We offer global customers our service for the renovation of their worn-out capstans as well as of other spare parts in touch with wire. The service consists in recovering the geometry and treating the surface with either KERBLACK^®, WOLSIDE^® or COLDSIDE^®.

We apply KERBLACK^® – our special ceramic-based coating – on the climb-up zone, where strain and wearing are heavier because of wire skidding. KERBLACK^® is particularly suitable for dry wire-drawing processes aimed at the production of high, medium and low carbon steel, stainless steel, etc. Generally, during this service, we also clean the drum internally with the purpose of removing any limestone deposit, which could prevent the efficient cooling of the parts.

The service is completed by the application of a product that slows down the re-building of limestone deposits. We can also work on other areas of the drum that may need reparation. Once the renovation process is completed, the capstan is much more functional than a new non-coated one and gives the user excellent results in terms of life and wire quality. The renovation of capstans is always economically efficient. A lot of customers all over the world regularly use our renovation service for their drums, capstans, cones and pulleys. We also obtain very good results with our COLDSIDE^® coating, based on tungsten carbides.
