The Critical Role of Precision Rod Breakdown

Before wire can be finely drawn into multiple strands, the raw copper or aluminium rod must be precisely reduced and conditioned. HONTA's copper rod breakdown machine and aluminium rod breakdown machine are designed for this exacting task. The company’s philosophy is that a high-performance Multiwire Drawing Machine can only operate at peak efficiency when fed with consistently perfect input material. This is where HONTA’s integrated rod breakdown with annealer machine for copper and aluminium proves indispensable, combining primary reduction with inline softening to deliver annealed wire ready for multi-wire processing.

Engineered for Flexibility and Unmatched Control

At the heart of HONTA's latest innovation is the rod breakdown machine with individual motors. This design represents a significant technological leap over traditional systems. By utilizing independent servo drives for each drawing capstan, HONTA ensures unparalleled speed synchronization and tension control. This results in superior wire surface quality, precise diameter tolerances, and significant energy savings, making it a future-proof investment for any wire & cable machinery operation.

These solutions are scalable and versatile, capable of feeding into various downstream configurations, from an 8 wires multiwire drawing machine for specialized production to a high-throughput 32 wires multiwire drawing machine for mass-market conductor manufacturing.

A Complete Ecosystem for Wire Production

HONTA’s Comprehensive Rod Breakdown Solutions are designed as the starting point of a fully optimized production line. They integrate perfectly with other key HONTA wire drawing machine components:

• Inline Annealer Machine: For continuous, controlled softening of wire post-drawing.
• Wire Take Up Machine: For precise winding, available in configurations like the high-efficiency double spooler or the large-capacity basket coiler.
• Single Spooler: For simpler winding requirements with reliable performance.

This holistic approach ensures that from the initial rod breakdown to the final wound product, every step is optimized for maximum yield and quality.
