Keir Manufacturing
KEIR Manufacturing, Inc. is a North Carolina, USA based company that manufactures and markets a large variety of technical ceramic and engineered products serving a diverse group of industries world-wide.
Started in 1983 as a producer of premium technical ceramic parts for the fiber and textile industry, KEIR Manufacturing has applied its materials know-how and advanced manufacturing techniques to serve many diverse industries world-wide. All our products reduce operating costs and improve productivity of our customers’ operations. We make better products, which allow our customers to make products better.
For the Wire and Cable industry worldwide, KEIR’s products include a wide range of high purity Ceramic Guides and the Frontiersman line of Air Wipes. In 2010 with the acquisition of the Wire Products business unit of Kamatics Aerospace, state of the art Composite Flyer Bows and Ceramic Pulleys were added for this industry.
KEIR produces engineered ceramic Guides for the Textile, Core Tips for Brick and Nozzles for Sandblasting industries as well as high-temperature Furnace Components and a large number of other Specialty Applications.
We established an abrasives division in 2001 to manufacture superior quality Sharpening, Dressing, and Polishing Stones.
Composite Flyer Bows
New Technologey- The Backbone
The more aerodynamic BackBone design functions at lower power consumption (up to 40% less energy) and higher TPM, resulting in improved wire quality and a further reduction in bow breakage.
Features
- Improved bow Strength (no holes)
- Wire is out of the Air Stream
- Bow shaped like a wing for improved aerodynamics and low CW factor
- Wear strip eliminated and replaced by wear bushings with windows for easy inspection and dust cleaning
- Wear bushings can be ceramic, steel (48 - 58 Rc) and other materials or coatings
- Wear bushings improve support or difficult to make products
- No wire pinching between guide and wear strip
Benefits
- Higher TPM - Maintaining Wire Quality
- Reduced elongation at higher TPM
- Reduced bow breakage
- Increased life on wear surfaces, reducing downtime and maintenance
- Easy assembly and change out of wear bushings
- Wire breaks are contained within the bow - extending bow life
Air Wipes
Finally, an Air Wipe that really works!
Just when you had about given up on finding Air Wipes that would dry wire completely with compressed air, KEIR has developed a dependable, simple and cost-effective new design. Boldly independent by design, reliable yet thrifty, the FRONTIERSMAN makes the most of any situation.
Reduce Air Consumption & Rugged Design
Designed to use the full potential of the compressed air source to perform the work of drying your product, the FRONTIERSMAN quietly accomplishes more with less. High density ceramic inserts in a tough polymer housing provide a long rugged life to the FRONTIERSMAN. U.S.
What is so unique to KEIR’s design
Keir FRONTIERSMAN Air Wipes are custom made to your specified wire diameter. Their Air Wipes are designed to operatre for the designated wire at a stardard 60psi/4.14 bars.
KEIR’s design relies on the controlled use of compressed air which is allowed to decompress to atmospheric pressure within a carefully sized chamber. The air accelerates to nearly the speed of sound in a thin layer surrounding the wire. This release of kinetic energy stored when the air was compressed does far more work than other systems that rely on high volumes of air. The wire path is lined with high-density ceramic material for long life. The configuration of the ceramic keeps the wire centered within the airflow
