About us
Boockmann Engineering GmbH offers effective processes, machinery and consumables for wire and cable cleaning and coating.
The German family business was founded in 1983 as a trading, representation and consulting company in the fields of magnet wire enamels and secondary insulation materials.
The company now is a globally acting manufacturer of machines and consumables for the wire and cable industry with large production depth. The design department develops the machines, including their controls, for customers and the manufacturing equipment for the company's own needs. Our application technology supports customers in process development, commissioning and long-term maintenance of the equipment supplied. Additionally, we operate a chemical laboratory with a wide range of analysis options to support material development.

Products & Services
Boockmann will present their HELICORD® technology for wire and cable surface processing and welding wire finishing as well as HELILUB® technology for precision solvent-free lubrication of magnet wire. The HELICORD® principle is based on friction between a fast-moving wire and a textile cord wound around a wire, strand or insulated cable multiple times, moving rather slowly under push-pull-controlled conditions.
This creates a multiple 360° contact between a constantly renewed cleaning or coating medium (i. e. the cord) and the wire. Since friction energy per wire surface unit and thus the cleaning efficiency are independent of the wire speed HELICORD® can be run at drawing speeds. Successful industrial applications are misprint removal from cable, removal of drawing lubricants and metal particles from e.g. strands for high frequency and submarine cables before extrusion, and welding wire finishing with simultaneous coating and removal of particles and drawing lubricant residues.

HELICORD® Machines NB59, NB55, NB57, NB58 and Consumables
Fine Wire Cleaning with NB56
For cleaning fine and ultra-fine wires for e.g. medical applications or for the jewellery and watch industry, we developed HELIFIL NB56 “Fine Wire”. It is designed for wires with a diameter ≤ 0.2 mm (tested success fully down to 0,02 mm) with sufficient tensile strength and is based on our HELICORD® technology. Using special cord and wire guide pulleys and a looping unit, fully circumferential cleaning of the wire surface below the 0.2 % yield strength of a wire is possible.
For very sensitive or brittle wires, a non-looping version using a successive tangential setup based on our HELILUB® NB53G0 is available.
As an option, the machine can be equipped with a liquid metering pump to intensify the cleaning process.
Device for Determination of the Static Coefficient of Friction of Wire or Cable Surfaces
Boockmann offers a compact device for a quick and easy measurement of the static coefficient of friction, allowing fast judgement of production conditions and parameters. The measuring principle is based on the start of gliding on an inclination plane whose angle is successively increased starting from zero. Two sections of a wire sample are clamped in a sliding plate and a inclination plate for this purpose, and the sliding plate is placed on the inclination plate so that the wire pairs cross.
For measuring the static coefficient of friction between a cable jacket and conduit material a special model is available.
