WIRE SCALING AND DRAWING LINE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: wire and merchant bar production, in particular, removal of scale from wire. SUBSTANCE: wire scaling and drawing line has scaling device, vertical rewinding drum, drum speed regulator, drawing tool and vertical drawing drum with rotational drive. Rewinding drum is axially aligned with drawing drum. Rewinding drum is operated by drive of drawing drum through speed regulator, which may be made in the form of friction faceplates fixed to faced ends of drums so that force applied by one faceplate to other facing faceplate may be regulated. Speed regulator may be formed as electric generator switched to loading resistor. Rotor of electric generator is connected with drawing drum drive shaft and stator is connected to rewinding drum. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider operational capabilities and enhanced reliability in operation. 3 cl, 4 dwg
