Description
This paper is an overview of the various concepts relative to aluminum wiredrawing using both light to heavy viscosity oils as well as water soluble applications. It describes the various types of clarifiers, pumps, heat exchangers, and system concepts relative to reservoir tanks, components, piping, and controls. Given the premature high cost of mineral oil replacement, field data is included showing the results of efficient filtration. Included in the paper are graphs, drawings, and installations photos for specific applications.
