ENKOnail Machines

The core of ENKOTEC's product program is the high-speed ENKOnail rotary nail machine. Our rotary machine is radically different from conventional nail making machines and comparatively include a huge number of advantages.

ENKOTEC high-speed rotary nail manufacturing machines are the best on the market; our ENKOnail+ series can produce up to 2,500 steel nails per minute, whilst the ENKOnail series runs at speeds of up to 1,000 nails per minute. Our machines are suitable for use in an automated in-line set-up as our oil-free production process eliminates the need for cleaning between forming processes.

Our nail manufacturing machines are continuously being developed based on input from the market.

Nail Manufacturing Machines

Due to the rotary principle, our machines differ greatly from conventional nail machines, which use a "cut-and-hammer" process to form each nail.

Conventional nail machines use a process which involves straightening and drawing wire into a nail machine, using a hammer to form the head of the nail, and then clipping the opposite end of the wire to form a point and free the nail. The process then begins again.

In contrast to this, ENKOTEC's rotary nail machines make nails by first drawing the wire into a wire straightening section, this wire is then cut to the desired size and enters the head-forming section of the machine. This process allows more nails to be created per minute, as nails can continuously be cut and their heads formed in one continuous flow, rather than one-by-one. This is the fastest and most reliable method of consistently producing high-quality steel nails.

The rotary forming principle means:

  • double capacity
  • better nail quality
  • reliable production
  • less space requirements
  • increased user-friendliness
  • fewer operators
  • an oil-free process
