The Barbed Wire Maker is pedal-powered and is easy to operate regardless of skill or training. The machine is portable and has few moving parts which allows it to be virtually maintenance free.
The Wire Maker comes with two wire stands and one winder unit. There is a small cutter attached to the tray for pre-cutting the barbs.
The most common size of barbed wire is 2.5 x 2mm. This uses 7.5kg of 2mm wire and 42.5kg of 2.5mm wire per 500+ metre 50kg roll. Thinner wires can use slightly shorter barbs which can be adjusted by bending the plate or putting a spacer onto its face to reduce the barb length.
It uses up to 2.5 mm plain galvanized wire for the line wires and up to 2.0 mm wire for the barbs. The line wires and barbs can be the same size but it requires a bit more skill to operate.
Two workers, one cutting the barbs and advancing the barbed wire strands and the other sitting making the barbed wire, can make about 150 metres of standard IOWA barbed wire in one hour.
