Q2: What types of wire can the wire drawing machine process?
Answer: Uniwin wire drawing machines can process many different kinds of wire materials, depending on the model and die configuration. Common types include:
Low-carbon steel wire – widely used for nail making, binding wire, and construction wire.
High-carbon steel wire – for springs, rope wire, and other industrial uses.
Stainless steel wire – usually drawn with water tank (wet type) machines for precision and surface quality.
Copper and aluminum wire – for electrical and industrial applications.
Iron wire – for general industrial and daily use.
For nail-making factories, the most common application is drawing low-carbon steel wire (2-8mm) into the right size for producing wire nails or concrete nails.
