We hope you enjoyed your visit to Interwire this year. It was great to talk to everyone who visited. In case you didn’t get to see us, here’s a brief summary of our cleaning and finishing solution for wire and cable products.
Effective finishing is a critical part of the wire and cable production process — whether it’s improving coating adhesion, removing oxides, or controlling final appearance. Wet blasting has a number of key advantages over traditional finishing processes like dry blasting, mechanical brushing or chemical pickling…
✅ Gentle yet highly effective cleaning — perfect for fine or specialty wires
✅ Uniform, controllable surface finish — consistent results batch after batch, like the creation of a non-specular or de-glared finish on overhead power cables
✅ Cool, dust-free operation — water suppresses airborne particles and eliminates heat-related issues
✅ Versatility — ideal for oxide removal, pre-coating prep, or finish enhancement
✅ Health, safety, environmental – Dust free operation, it does not use harmful chemicals, and water and blast media is recycled through the system
The Profelis automatic wet blasting machine is our purpose designed and unique solution for wire and cable cleaning and finishing, here are some of its key features…
✅ 360° Uniform finishing - Thanks to its unique blast gun manifold with 4 powerful blast guns positioned at 90° angles — or 8 guns at 45° for even greater throughput
✅ Precision Ra control - Consistent, reliable surface roughness to exacting tolerances, including Nitinol medical wire to very strict tolerances
✅ Versatile diameter range - Processes wire from 1mm (0.04") up to 54mm (2.13") cables
✅ Seamless in-line integration - Unlike pickling and dry blasting, the Profelis works in-line with existing production lines, cutting downtime and boosting efficiency
✅ Rinsing and Drying - Built-in rinsing and drying removes all blast media and rapidly dries the product
