AN IMPROVED DIE HOLDER SYSTEM WITH A SINGLE MOTOR TO CONCURRENTLY OPERATE A ROTATING DIE AND A LUBRICANT STIRRER DEVICE TO ENHANCE DIE LIFE IN MACHINES DRAWING METAL WIRES

摘要

The invention relates to an improved die holder system with a single motor to concurrently operate a rotating die holder device and a lubricant stirrer device to enhance die life in machines drawing metal wires, the system comprising a die holder device releasably attached to a soap lubricant device, the soap lubricant device having at least one chamber containing soap lubricant, and a lubricant stirrer, the die holder device having a die casing to accommodate a die and a motorized rotating means, wherein the lubricant stirrer consists of a long plate 21, a short plate 22 welded together by a hollow cross tube 23, the hollow cross tube (23) providing a guidance for the metal wire, wherein the smaller plates 18 welded on the long plate (21) provides the necessary churning during rotation of the lubricant stirrer (5), and wherein the lubricant stirrer is fixed on a rotating shaft 3 by bolts 19 with corresponding seals 33 are provided between the soap box and the rotating shaft to prevent contact of the lubricant with the outer suface of the rotating shaft.
