Barbed wire machines built for high volume production.
UMC builds patented barbed wire machines that run at speeds up to 400 barbs per minute, with electronic pitch, variable barb length, and rolls up to one mile. Two and four point barbs are produced on the same machine, each adjusted individually to ASTM 121.
Choose the BLM-3000 Multi Twist for the flexibility to run two barb styles on one machine, or the BLR-4000 Reverse Twist for a dedicated, compact high tensile line.
Both platforms run at speeds up to 400 barbs per minute with continuous and reverse twist, fully automated electronic pitch, and rolls of one mile or less. Variable barb length and twist rate, in two and four point, are adjusted individually to ASTM 121.
Both run on precision servo drives rather than the cams, gearboxes and linkages of older machines, so there are fewer wear points, less maintenance and more time in production. Barb length and spacing are set on the screen, not changed by hand on the floor.
Start with one tooling set and add the second when your needs grow, without investing in a new machine.
Barb Lokk BLR-4000
Dedicated high tensile barbed wire production at volume.
The BLR-4000 is a dedicated high tensile reverse twist barbed wire machine, engineered for consistent, high speed production at 400 barbs per minute. Its compact, efficient design makes the most of factory floor space, which suits high volume manufacturing.
- Speeds up to 400 barbs per minute, high tensile reverse twist.
- Servo driven motion in place of mechanical cams and gearboxes, for fewer wear points and lower maintenance.
- Digitally controlled rotary cutter and pitch change for precise, repeatable barb spacing.
- Compact vertical layout with forklift pockets on all sides, easy to move and quick to drop into automated lines.
- Each barb point adjusted individually to ASTM 121, two and four point.
- Rockwell Automation, integrated PLC safety, historical production data and 3D models on the HMI.
Barb Lokk BLM-3000
A barbed wire making machine that runs two styles on one platform.
The patented BLM-3000 is the only machine in the world that produces two different barbed wire styles on a single platform. It runs both High Tensile Reverse Twist and Iowa style barbed wire, and switches between them with minimal downtime. Start with one tooling set and add the second when your needs grow, without investing in a new machine.
- Speeds up to 400 barbs per minute, continuous and reverse twist.
- Fully automated, electronic pitch, rolls of one mile or less.
- Variable barb length and twist rate, two and four point, adjusted to ASTM 121.
- Vertical manufacturing with integrated layering for ergonomic roll handling.
- Rockwell Automation, integrated PLC safety, live fault and production reporting to any device.
One decision: flexibility, or a dedicated line.
Run two barb styles, High Tensile Reverse Twist and Iowa, on one platform. Best when your product mix changes and you want one machine to cover it.
