General Description
Our Special Manual Machine for Snap Ties is a robust engineering solution integrated with modern technology, designed to deliver maximum dimensional precision and an excellent surface finish in the manufacturing of concrete formwork ties. Thanks to its versatile configuration system, it adapts seamlessly to both standard production and highly customized requirements upon customer request.
Key Technical Features
- Highly Robust Construction: Engineered with a solid structure and state-of-the-art industrial components that guarantee a long service life.
- Efficient Heating Station: Advanced heating unit operating on Direct Current (DC) and Three-Phase power supply, optimizing energy consumption and ensuring homogeneous heating of the material.
- Hot Heading / Forging: Allows hot forging of the ends to produce both round and hexagonal heads, strictly adhering to drawing specifications.
- Flawless Quality and Finish: The mechanical system and thermal control eliminate surface defects, delivering components with excellent cosmetic quality and absolute dimensional consistency.
Flexibility according to Wire Thickness and Station Configuration
The machine stands out for its high capacity to process high-tensile wire (up to a maximum thickness of 0.312”), allowing two manufacturing modes depending on the project requirements:
- Single-Station Production (1 single step) — Maximum Productivity: For wires with standard thicknesses between 2 mm and 6 mm (including common sizes such as 0.225” and 0.24”), the snap ties are optimally manufactured in a single workstation and in one single step, drastically increasing the production rate.
- Special Video Model (2 Stations) — Custom Design for 8 mm Wire: The equipment offers the full flexibility to adapt to special requests outside standard market specifications. It is worth noting that the machine shown in operation in the video is, precisely, this special version designed with 2 workstations. As clearly seen in the video footage, the system is configured with two stations due to a custom request from a client who needed to manufacture snap ties with a special 8 mm thick wire, requiring this differentiated process to ensure perfect forming and performance.
