New Development – VNT Nano Dies
In 2011, the company started manufacturing VNT Nano dies (Vetrified Nano Technology) and become the only company in the world to manufacture VNT dies for soft and hard wires. These dies find extensive applications in bunching, compacting, stranding dies made for copper as well as aluminium 50 mm to 2000 sq mm and which ensures savings of both energy and metal of around 3-4 percent. The VNT nano dies acts as an excellent replacement for PCD Dies which are less expensive than PCD. However, VNT Nano Dies are cost-efficient and scratch free for low carbon wire, CO2, and stainless steel wires, thereby being the suitable alternatives to replace PCD Dies.
