Your partner and expert in wire drawing \\ Traxit Wire Lubrication

We are pulling in the same direction together: In this way, services from Traxit increase the productivity of your wire drawing systems

Base material and end product, design of the wire drawing system, speed and temperature: The wire drawing process is influenced by a whole host of factors.

The multitude of possible applications, ranging from delicate valve spring pins for the automotive industry to musical instrument strings, spring steel and structural steel and steel for bridges, ensure that no two production plants in the world are alike. The tribological requirements to be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate lubricant are also correspondingly diverse.

Our experts are there to assist you with the selection of exactly the right lubricant for your individual wire drawing application. They can provide you with support on optimum use and help you achieve the maximum in terms of product quality, efficiency and economy in wire production.

From the wire drawing process to specialty lubricants: We find exactly the right lubricant

With more than 450 dry drawing lubricants, wet drawing lubricants and coating agents, Traxit offers solutions for a wide range of requirements in industrial wire production. Since 1881, we have been developing products tailored to different material properties, manufacturing processes and wire drawing processes.

The basis for the selection of the right lubricant for your area of application is a comprehensive understanding of your requirements by our experts on site. To this end, we analyse your drawing processes and wire samples from your production. We make your individual requirements our own and use this as the basis for determining the optimum lubrication solutions.

Handling, health and safety, and process requirements: We take a holistic approach to your wire drawing application

When selecting drawing aids, our experts take into account not only product-, die- and process-related requirements, but also aspects such as handling, storage, health and safety, and application-specific requirements in the wire drawing process.

As part of the TOTAL USE concept, we analyse the customer’s specific wire drawing process and record relevant process data. On this basis, we support our customers in evaluating process conditions and selecting suitable drawing aids and application concepts.

This results in a comprehensive understanding of the respective requirements, which forms the basis for well-informed decisions in the wire drawing process.

Special requirements and innovative processes: We develop the right lubricant for you

Custom-tailored solutions are standard at Traxit: Where our comprehensive range of dry and wet lubricants and coatings is not absolutely right for the wire drawing process in question, we work closely together with our customers to develop new lubricants. They are perfectly tailored to each specific wire drawing process and thoroughly tested in laboratories and test applications before use in serial production.

In this way, in combination with the systematic further development and of our existing range of products, we ensure that we are able to supply suitable lubricants to meet the requirements of the wire drawing industry in the future as well, ones which ensure high system availability and productivity with low costs and consumption.
