ENKOTEC is a leading global supplier of machinery for the manufacture of mass-produced nails as well as customized solutions. The company create, innovate, and produce solutions for its customers.
ENKOTEC A/S, established back in 1981 for producing and commercializing the newly developed nail manufacturing machine. The introduction of the ENKOTEC rotary nail machine was a revolution within the nail industry, as the machine was completely different from the conventional nail manufacturing machines known since the turn of the 19th century. The nail machine quickly became a Danish export success and today ENKOTEC machines are running in nail factories located all over the world. Its headquarters is in Denmark where the company undertakes the development, production and sale of machines and tooling for the manufacture of nails. It has regional sales offices in Cleveland, Ohio, and in Buenos Aires, and cooperates with local commercial agents on selected markets, such as KEMTECH in India.
PRODUCT LINES
ENKOTEC nail machines are using a unique rotary forming principle, allowing wire feeding, wire cutting and head forming to take place in one continuous process of rotating movements. The ENKOTEC technology makes it possible to produce high-quality nails at an unprecedented speed, without compromising production stability, while requiring less space and fewer operators and offering the possibility of unmanned production. At the same time, this machine concept allows to implement an environment friendly production with a low noise level, small energy consumption and an oil-free manufacturing process, eliminating the need for subsequent nail tumbling.
Over the years, ENKOTEC has made continuous design and material improvements on the nail machine, thus meeting customer requirements for increased cost-efficiency and user-friendliness. ENKOTEC’s product program includes various complementary machines supplied as stand-alone units or in-line systems. ENKOTEC’s in-line nail manufacturing solutions feature a balanced combination of well-proven systems and modern technology proving our wish to constantly putting our customers ahead of competition.
ENKOTEC’s present high-capacity nail machines, the ENKOnail+ series are designed according to a modular principle with a basic machine and several machine variants. The machines are producing up to 2,500 nails per minute, and it is possible to cover nail lengths from 28 up to as much as 130 mm (1.1″to 51/8”) and wire diameters from ø1.8 to ø4.2 mm (.071″ to.165″). The ENKOnail+ machines come with a PLC control system and touch screen operator interface, which is easy to navigate and allows quick setup of nail parameters.
The ENKOnail models, intended for small and midsize capacity needs, produce up to 1,000 nails per minute at ø2.0-4.2mm (.079” to .165”) and nail lengths 38-103 mm (1½” to 4”). The ENKOnail machines feature simple adjustments, quick tooling changeovers, easy access for cleaning and service, and long tooling life among other advantages. Combined with our high-end ENKOnail+ series, the ENKOnail models allow us to offer a complete range of high-speed nail machines, where many tooling parts are common for all machine models, thus increasing their cost effectiveness.
The high-speed ENKOroll thread rolling machine has been specially designed for making screw shank or annular nail profiles. Apart from the high production capacity, the ENKOroll machine incorporates numerous advantages such as high-quality nail profiling, high production speed, high stability, quick tooling changeovers, simple adjustments, and low noise level. The machine is capable of running in-line in a nail manufacturing line or as a standalone machine.
ENKOTEC’s product range also includes the ENKOpack, which is a movable stand-alone packaging machine. The system offers the possibility of in-line nail production in a complete, automated nail manufacturing process. The ENKOpack automatically feeds the nail cartons, fills them with the accurate number of nails, and transports the nail cartons via automatic drive belt conveyors. All of this can be done in-line with a standard ENKOTEC nail machine or thread rolling machine.
The unique ENKOllator paper stick collator has been designed for making collated sticks of nails with two head types: D-head, and offset head. The collator has a very regular footprint, with all components integrated, and allows easy access to machine maintenance by removable front panels. The machine features a new type of stick cutting system with minimal wear and almost no adjustment.
Furthermore, ENKOTEC has exclusive rights to worldwide sale and service of the highly efficient collators engineered and built by the German high-standard manufacturer BAUSSMANN Collated Fasteners GmbH: The ENKOllator wire coil collator, using automatic cutter and coiling units, can produce bright and electro galvanized wire welded coil nails with smooth shank, ring shank, screw shank and spiral shank. The ENKOllator plastic stick collator has been designed for making plastic collated strip nails, using servo-drive technology in all processes. The machine can produce bright, electro, hot dipped galvanized and stainless steel nails, with smooth shank, ring shank and screw shank.
