Scalping Machines

Scalping? Why Scalp?

Hot rolled wire rod used for spring wire and other end uses where the surfaces must be free of defects is now available utilizing a special machine built here at Technical Development.

Our new inverted block for Drawing and Scalping sizes up to 1" diameter, coil weights to5,000-lbs 36" I.D. it's faster--- speeds up to 500'/min. Big reductions in down time between coils. Takes up less floor space ( Total 10 ft. square). Eliminates block burnish marks on the inside of the coils. Designed for safety --- economy --quality--- productivity with low maintenance.

At the entrance to the scalping machine, a pressure drawing die (which may be ran as a single die drawing machine without scalping) configures the out-of-round, hot rolled wire rod in preparation for entrance to the scalping die. It removes seams, surface defects and scale. Scalping improves the quality of the wire and speeds its production. The elimination of surface defects associated with stress concentrations allows greater reductions between anneals without cracking. Another principle advantage of scalping of scalping is that this technology has enabled some plants to either eliminate or substantially reduce pickling and related air and water pollution.

Now readily available!! Weighs 29,000 lbs 200 H.P. D.C. motor 500 volts on armature 240 volts on field SPEED RANGE 300 R.P.M.---- 1,200 R.P.M.

Can be modified and special built as a BOLT on for a machine that you already have.
