TIN BALL PRODUCTION PROCESS
Tin is an element showing similar characteristics as lead. The hardness level of tin wire is also similar to lead. Most of the machines used to handle lead material is also suitable for tin material. As MTM Engineering our lead buckshot production line is suitable to produce tin ball with some small adjustments. The process is very similar to lead buckshot production;
· Melting the tin ingot
· Casting tin into billet
· Tin wire extrusion with induction etrusion press
· Swaging tin ball
· Lapping tin ball
· Cleaning tin ball
· Screening
The same equipment is used like lead buckshot production. The most important change is the molding. The mold wheels need to be adjusted according to tin material.
