ABOUT THIS INDUSTRY SECTOR

Electrical and industrial wires and cables are everywhere and our fluids help in their manufacture

The fact is the world needs wire and cable to function: they carry the worlds electricity, connect our communications systems, link equipment components to talk to each other, and are in such varied applications as steel strings on musical instruments, medical devices, high strength load carrying steel wire in lifting cables or sub-sea power cables. We cannot survive as a society without wires and cables in everything we use, make or do.

PETROFER can help manufacturers globally in optimising cable and wire production speeds, reducing downtime and improving surface qualities while considering and easing the environmental impact.

OUR CONVERTING RANGE

A global wire maker experienced problems of fine wires sticking together when wound on the reels. The wire was a small diameter resulting in many breakages on rewinding or further drawing operations. This was clearly seen when a spool of wire was allowed to run free off the drum, called “casting”. By using lubricants from our Drawlub range and a cleaner from our Feroclean series the problems were eliminated resulting in reduced wire breakages.

We listen. We develop. We deliver.
