Manufacturing Technology

Founded in 1979, Tecno Impianti Srl is celebrating 45 years as one of the leading European suppliers of wire drawing machines, and uncoilers/pre-feeders, for the fastener industry.

Tecno Impianti’s main machine range is its in-line wire drawers, which can be installed before cold headers, as well as chain, straightening and cutting machines for resizing the wire to a desired final diameter. Over the last 45 years Tecno Impianti states it has manufactured and sold over 2,500 in-line wire drawers, with wire diameters ranging from 1mm up to 37mm. 

The Italian company has also created a wide range of products for the fastener sector, including vertical uncoilers that can be supplied with or without motor, for uncoiling small diameter wire on spools or wire carriers; power driven horizontal uncoilers that can be utilised for uncoiling medium-big diameter wires and feed them directly into a cold header or wire drawer, in a pre-straightened form; as well as pre-feeders that are needed for bringing the wire from vertical uncoilers to cold headers or wire drawers.

Other products available from Tecno Impianti include coil-to-coil wire drawing bull-blocks, which can be used for big productions of drawn wire and are supplied in different sizes and configurations – horizontal and vertical. With these machines the drawn wire can be taken up on wire carriers or under the form of bound coils. 

Tecno Impianti can also supply wire pointing machines, which are needed for making the point to the wire head before the drawing operation. These machines are available with two or four rolling cylinders and can be installed on fixed base or on carriage. Plus, it can offer hydraulic push-pointers, which can be used instead of a rolling type unit to execute the wire pointing operation on big diameter wires – providing a safe and quick alternative that can be installed ahead of in-line wire drawers or wire drawing bull-blocks.

Tecno Impianti Srl also supplies machines to customers working in other sectors of the wire industry, such as wire drawing machines for production of CO₂ wire and redrawing of galvanised wire; cold rolling lines for production of smooth or ribbed wire for electro-welded mesh coilers; as well as vertical and horizontal spoolers.

“At the wire^® Düsseldorf 2024 show, we will exhibit the power driven uncoiler model AP40 for maximum diameter 40mm, in-line wire drawer model SKP16 for maximum diameter 16mm – complete with Industry 4.0 features – and wire pointing machine model AT16-B for maximum diameter 16mm,” reports Roberto Gnecchi, owner and CEO at Tecno Impianti. “The entire Tecno Impianti staff will be pleased to welcome visitors to our stand, in hall 16, stand G43, to show and explain our new technology for the fastener industry.”
