Wire pre-cleaning before plastic coating: smart, cleaner options

Summary for wire pre-cleaning before plastic coating Discussion

Wire pre-cleaning before plastic coating is the core issue here: the questioner is wet drawing C1006 annealed wire and needs a clean finished surface, but burnt calcium soap and dust on the incoming 1.60 mm wire are leaving the product too dirty for plating-quality or nylon coating. The wire must be cleaned in-line from the pay-off spool at drawing speed, and the residue should still be removable in hot water at 70 °C before plastic coating. The thread excerpt does not include any actual technical replies, so no specific method is endorsed in the source. The question asks whether laser, ultrasonic, reverse current, brushes, or sanding belts would be best, with an emphasis on an environmentally friendly process that uses less water. Based on the excerpt alone, the discussion is a request for recommendations rather than a concluded solution.
