Customized rolling lines for copper and brass flat wire in four catalog configurations — from the 5.5 mm inlet draw-roll-draw-take-up line to the 12 mm twin-draw, triple-roll line with online annealing — with finished sections from A 2 mm × B 0.2 mm up to A 16 mm × B 4 mm and line speeds up to 120 m/min.
Copper Flat Wire Rolling Mill Line
The line follows a pulling–rolling–rewinding sequence. Inlet wire of 4–12 mm is paid off, drawn, rolled to the target flat section and rewound. The line is composed of:
-
Wire pay-off decoiling rack
-
Round wire milling machine
-
Precision calender
-
Flat wire milling machine
-
Transversal rewinding (take-up)
-
Electronic control system
-
Cooling system
Process features: pneumatic tension lever speed feedback, spray-type wire die cooling, ball screw traversing, online laser diameter measurement, and pneumatic spool loading and unloading. The drawing, flattening and coiling sections can run independently or inline, and a wheel-type online annealing unit is available as an option.

Why Choose the Copper Flat Wire Rolling Mill Line
The line is designed for copper and brass flat wire, copper busbar, enamelled wire and enamelled flat wire. Incoming wire and finished sections depend on the configuration — for example, the XL-CFW-01 takes 5.5 mm inlet wire to A 2–5 mm × B 0.6–3.5 mm, while the XL-CFW-03 takes up to 12 mm inlet wire to A 4–16 mm × B 2.5–4 mm. For other materials, submit your specification for review by our technical team.
Maximum line speed is 120 m/min on the XL-CFW-01, XL-CFW-02 and XL-CFW-04 configurations, and 80 m/min on the large-section XL-CFW-03. Actual running speed depends on the inlet wire size, the target flat section and the selected roll diameter.
The standard layout includes a wire pay-off decoiling rack, round wire milling machine, precision calender, flat wire milling machine, transversal rewinding, electronic control system and cooling system. Optional equipment includes a wheel-type online annealing unit.
Yes. The drawing, flattening and coiling sections can operate independently or inline. This allows the line to be used for single-process work, such as rewinding only, or as a complete draw-roll-draw-take-up line.
The line uses online laser diameter measurement to monitor the flat wire during running, combined with spray-type wire die cooling and pneumatic tension lever speed feedback to stabilize the process. Rolls are available in 160, 180, 200, 250, 300 and 350 mm diameters.
Roll and capstan diameters are matched to the configuration: for example, the XL-CFW-01 uses 200/180 mm rolls with a 600 mm capstan, the XL-CFW-03 uses 350/300/300 mm rolls with a 1200 mm capstan, and the XL-CFW-04 uses 180/160 mm rolls with a 650 mm capstan. Share your product range and we will confirm the suitable configuration.
Total power depends on the configuration: 65 kW for the XL-CFW-01, 140 kW for the XL-CFW-02, 450 kW for the XL-CFW-03 and 80 kW for the XL-CFW-04, each covering the complete unit with its electrical control system. All configurations are operated through a PLC with touch screen.
Yes. A wheel-type online annealing unit is available as an option, used in the twin-draw, triple-roll configuration for large-section flat wire production. Include your annealing requirement in your inquiry so we can confirm the configuration.
The take-up end uses moving disk transversal rewinding with ball screw traversing and pneumatic spool loading and unloading. The winding principle matches our oscillate recoiler series, which offers spools from PN400 to PN800 mm and servo constant-tension control.
Quotations depend on the configuration — standard draw-roll-draw-take-up, multi-draw and roll, twin-draw with online annealing, or precision type — plus selected roll diameters and options. Send your inlet size, target section and required layout to manager@wuhanxinglian.com for a proposal.
