WIRE-WOUND RODS/ MAYER RODS
The tremendous invention of Wire-wound metering rods by Charles Mayer is now a leading product in the market. Named after its inventor, wire-wound metering rods are commonly known as Mayer rods.
It is basically a stainless-steel bar wounded tightly with the stainless-steel wire. Majorly used on the coating machines, wire-wound rods are outstandingly effective in applying pigments and multitude of other coatings on various web surfaces. Wound wires help to create threads of uniform profile, i.e., a half circle.
The diameter of the rod basically depends on the size and application, whereas, the diameter of the wire wrapped around the rod broadly determines the size of a wire. Diameter of the wire facilitate in regulating the thickness of the coating substrates. Larger wire means a larger groove and vice-a-versa.
TFT Industries, maintaining its quality standards in the market continues to remain the leading producer of wire-wound rounds. Beginning the production with finest stainless steel, the rods are further wrapped with stainless steel wire drawn through a hundred percent guaranteed natural diamond dies.
Our precision-manufacturing process at every step result in a high-quality rod preferred by leading industries in the market. We assure to maintain the trust and expectations of our clients at each step of production.
Some notable features of TFT Industries Wire-wound rods are:
- 1. High-quality stainless-steel bars tightly wound with stainless steel wire.
- 2. Amazing tensile strength.
- 3. Precision sizing accompanied by a consistent and defect-free surface finish.

- 5. An economical way of controlling web coating thickness
- 6. A product with multiple satisfied users
Our main aim at TFT Industries is to be able to meet the required demands of all our customers. To make higher coat weights an easy task, TFT Industries also provides double-wrapped wire-wound rods, whereas, gapped wire-rods are also customarily designed for high deposition coatings with higher viscosity properties.
So, if you are struggling to find the suitable producer of wire-wound metering rods, TFT Industries is the solution of all your requirements. Our 24*7 services help the customers to experience a hassle-free quality judgement of our services.
Wire-wound Rods v/s Grooved Metering Rods
The confusion about wire-wound rods and metering rods is not an uncommon issue. As many people struggle to know the right difference between the two, TFT Industries has already solved it for you.
Grooved Metering Rods have experienced a sudden increment in demand from leading mills in the global sector. The thread profile used on a metering rod have high probabilities of affecting the quality of final coat. The use of grooved metering rods may also have a significant impact on the runnability and overall cost of coating operation.
The main reason behind the shift of converters from wire-wound rods to grooved metering rods is the limitation of Mayer rods to the single-thread profile.
Whereas, improving the overall work standards, Grooved metering rods allows infinite number of thread profile including the profiles that match the shape of wire-wound rods excluding the problems associated with pinch area between the vires.
It is worth knowing that shifting from Mayer rods to grooved rods may not always be the right options for all application. So, to help find out the best option for your application, talented team of TFT Industries engineers is just a call away.
RECYCLE RODS WITH TFT INDUSTRIES
You can now save yourself from the additional cost of new wires. Taking further the motto of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, TFT Industries’s Rewrapped Rods program saves you from throwing away the old rods.
