PAKISTAN WIRE ROPE
QUALITY STRENGTH RELIABILITY.
INTRODUCTION
Pakistan Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd (PWI) is a domestic pioneering enterprise
specializing in drawing high carbon steel wire since 1972. The plant is
located in Sind Industrial Textile Estate (S.I.T.E), Karachi, Pakistan on an area
of 1.1 acres. Another plant is in the planning phase in S.I.T.E Nooriabad on
an area of 5 acres.

With 40 years of experience in production and management, the company

has developed a system of excellent craft, advanced technology and
complete testing mechanism. New equipment, crafts and technology are
constantly employed to develop new products. The products are widely
catering to the needs of metallurgy, mining, oil, post, fiber optics,
telecommunications,elevator & crane machinery, transportation, coal,
forestry, ocean fishery and electricity market segments. The company pays
high attention to the quality of products. PWI is an ISO 9000:2008 certified
company since 2006. The products are at par with any given International
standard; currently use ISO 2408, ISO 3154, EN-10264 & ISO 4344

PWI, since 2013, is equipped with a modern wire rope manufacturing plant
using state of the art wire drawing, stranding and closing technology to
meet the diversified requirements of quality conscious customers. The
company has the capacity of 10,000 Metric ton of wire and 1500 Metric ton
of wire ropes/ stranded wire annually.

PRODUCTION FACILITIES
Wires ropes having S/Z Ordinary/Lang Cross/Parallel Lay are precision
engineered and manufactured to JIS G3525, EN -10624-2 & JIS G 7301 or any
other International Standard under strict supervision on every phase of
production. This ensures optimum strength, safety, and reliability of wire rope
products. The Filler, Seale & Warrington ropes are currently produced in
construction of 6x7(FC), 6x12(FC), 6x19/Seale (FC/IWS/IWRC) and
8x19/Seale (FC/IWS/IWRC) with breaking load classification of Grade A (1620
N/mm2 -165 Kgf/mm2) and Grade B (1770 N/mm2-180 Kgf/mm2).

PATENTING
Patenting is carried out continuously with Austenitizing in tubes in a
Japanese designed furnace followed by rapid cooling in a molten bath.

The steel ropes and springs are produced from cold drawing top quality hot
rolled high carbon imported wire rods of 0.40 – 0.90% Carbon, which are
lead & air patented to impart fine pearlitic uniform structure providing high
strength and ductility. The 32 wire furnace line can produce up to 8000
metric ton of patented wire annually with diameter ranging from 0.9mm to
4.75mm.
PICKLING
The patented rods are now cleaned in the pickling section by dipping them in an acid bath and
surface treated chemically for smooth drawing operations.

DRY DRAWING
Tandem type high speed wire drawing machines imported from Europe are used that can intake
a size up to 16mm (0.62 inches) and produce a final size of 0.9mm (0.035 inches). High wire quality
is ensured due to no twisting and reverse bending of wire during production.

GALVANIZING
Gas fired galvanizing line, based on a German design, uses hot dip zinc coating method on the
material as per ASTM A-475, GOST 9850 and BSS 443 standards in order to improve the wire
corrosion resistance.

FINE WET DRAWING

Multiple High speed slip type wet drawing KOCH branded machines are used to produce wire size
of 0.28 mm (0.01 inches) using imported lubricant to provide excellent surface finish along with
tight tolerances.

REWINDING
The facility is equipped with high speed fully automatic bobbin re-winders for smooth production
flow.

STRANDING
The Plant is Equipped with multiple stranding machines in 1+6, 1+9 & 1+12 configuration, imported
from Europe and China with a capability of stranding 0.15 mm (.006 inches) to 3.3 mm
(0.13 inches) wire size and pitch range of 13 mm to 178 mm.

CLOSING
Two closers in 1+8 and 1+6 configurations are used to close ropes.

TESTING/DIE MAKING
The plant is equipped with complete testing facilities of chemical analysis, micro structural studies
and destructive physical testing. The reverse bend, wrapping, torsion and tensile testing machines
are in-house and carry out these tests with extreme precision. State of the art in-house die making
setup is used to produce precise and flawless Tungsten Carbide & Diamond Dies for accuracy and
smooth wire surface.
