Mechanical wire descales with subsequent wire brushing are employed in line with wire drawing equipment in order to clean rod and wire of its mill scale and surface rust. This unit cleans the rod or wire prior to entering the wire drawing machine, thus improving draw ability, and reducing die wear by means of a smooth and clean wire. Such a unit eliminates the need to chemically descale the wire in a previous/separate process.
The brushing units are also suitable to remove residual lubricants or debris by the implementation of other less abrasive brushes.
