Production line and factory setup overview
A small wire-twisting line converting purchased galvanized or PVC-coated low-carbon steel wire into conventional double-strand barbed wire through coil receiving and coating inspection, four-coil payoff, controlled strand feeding, barb-wire cutting and wrapping, strand twisting, programmed barb-pitch and length control, coil take-up, edge/point inspection, weighing, binding and traceable dispatch. Razor wire and wire galvanizing are different processes and are excluded.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with one conventional double-strand specification using purchased hot-dip-galvanized wire: about 2.5-2.8 mm strand wire, 2.0-2.2 mm barb wire and one 102 or 127 mm barb pitch, subject to buyer approval. Screen one guarded CS-A/CS-C machine with four controlled payoffs, automatic length counter, coil take-up, scale and binding tools. Do not confuse this line with razor-wire punching or a galvanizing plant.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Coated-wire receiving and lot release
- Four-coil payoff and controlled feeding
- Barb-wire cutting and point formation
- Barb wrapping around the carrier strand
- Double-strand twisting and pitch control
- Programmed length counting and coil take-up
- Point, twist, coating and coil inspection
- Weighing, binding, warning label and dispatch
Products, capacity and market fit
- Farms, compounds and security projects consume conventional barbed wire in repeat coils.
- Buying finished coated wire avoids hazardous galvanizing at entry.
- One wire and barb-pitch specification minimizes setup and slow inventory.
- Sharp-point geometry, coating damage, coil length and safe handling determine acceptance.
- Double-strand galvanized barbed wire - One strand/barb diameter, barb count, pitch, point, twist, coating, coil length and mass - Farms, compounds, contractors and security merchants
- PVC-coated barbed wire - Separate core wire, finished diameter, colour and coating-adhesion approval - Selected corrosion/appearance applications after buyer trial
