METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING CARRIER-LAYER OF LUBRICANT MATERIAL, PARTICULARLY ONTO DRAWN WIRE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: processes and equipment for applying carrier-layer of lubricant material on wire subjected to cold deformation, for example to drawing. SUBSTANCE: method comprises successive application of grease onto carrier-layer of lubricant material. In order to obtain carrier-layer of lubricant material, dry carrier material is applied directly onto descaled surface. There is reservoir for placing a large number of free pressing bodies and predetermined quantity of new dry carrier material. In order to create carrier-layer of lubricant material on necessary material subjected to be coated and having at least with its portions arranged inside reservoir, pressing bodies surrounding said material are driven to motion. Dry carrier-material placed between said bodies is applied mechanically onto necessary surface by means of bodies at uniform contact with surface of material. Apparatus for descaling before applying carrier-layer includes reservoir with free milling bodies and with transporting auger. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of method, improved design of apparatus. 27 cl, 6 dwg
