Our
division started out as a captive producer of wire and cold finished bars
for our parent company, Vulcan Threaded Products, one of the nations
most successful manufacturers of threaded rods.
Since we became a supplier to the open market, we have continued to
add capacity and capabilities.
We
produce various grades of wire on carriers from .105 diameter through
.625 diameter.
We
can also manufacture cold finished round bars in the following sizes and
grades:

Most
of our cold finished materials are stocked in 12 lengths.
However, we do offer cut lengths from 36 through 360.
Out standard bundle weights are 2,000# and 4,000#.
Although
we prefer to ship in truckload quantities (42,000 - 44,000#), we can be
competitive on lesser amounts.

|
| Process
|
- Under .677"
diameter - Using a Vaughn multi pass wire drawing machine (usually
2 passes) - run HR coil through a mechanical descaler, material
then gets brushed, then drawn and recoiled on to a carrier. The
carrier then goes to a Lewis Straightener where it is sheared
to length. The material then goes through a polishing operation
before it is bundled.
- .677" through
1" diameter - Produced on a KZ-2 Schumag. Material goes through
a pre-straightening station and then through a shot blast station.
It then runs through another pre-straightening operation then
into the drawing heads. It then runs through another straightening
station, then a polishing station and then it is sheared to length.
|
| Future
|
- Have purchased
a draw bench that will be housed in the new building. This machine
allowed us to produce cold finished rounds up to 3" diameter as
well as squares and flats.
