Innovative launch! MeiRun's butterfly wall tie making machine brings the era of manual butterfly wall tie twisting to an end

Butterfly wall ties are a niche category among wall connection products and rarely attract much attention. Before the emergence of specialized machinery, workers could only rely on tools such as pliers to manually twist butterfly wall ties into shape - a laborious and inefficient process. MeiRun's founder recognized this challenge and decided to develop an automatic processing machine for butterfly wall ties. Drawing inspiration from the structure of hanger making machines, he and his technical team modified the forming molds, adjusted the twisting mechanism, and after several rounds of trials, eventually developed a high-efficiency butterfly wall tie making machine. This machine features a 100% fully automatic production mode, requiring no manual intervention from wire feeding and straightening to cutting, forming, and even final collection. By purchasing this butterfly wall tie making machine, you will not only double your production efficiency but also receive comprehensive and professional guidance on its use and maintenance.

Product Introduction

A butterfly wall tie is a type of wall tie, commonly used for reinforcing masonry cavity walls. This metal tie features a symmetrical triangular shape at each end, resembling a butterfly in overall appearance, with a twisted wire section in the middle. During building construction, inner and outer walls (made of brick or concrete) typically require wall ties to distribute pressure and prevent cracking and collapse. The butterfly wall tie is a commonly used type of cavity wall tie for this purpose. During installation, workers embed the flat tail ends of the butterfly wall tie into the inner and outer walls respectively, and secure them with mortar, while the twisted middle section hangs vertically downward into the wall cavity, serving as a drip point to prevent moisture from reaching the inner wall. Thanks to its ease of use and remarkable effectiveness, the butterfly wall tie has been widely used in the construction industry for decades.

The butterfly wall tie making machine is an automatic equipment for batch production of butterfly wall ties. This machine independently completes straightening, drawing, cutting, bending, forming, and twisting of metal wire, and is equipped with a handle-shaped ejection device at the discharge outlet. After each new butterfly wall tie is produced, the ejection device pushes the finished product out and threads it onto a collection wire. Once a certain quantity has accumulated, workers can tie the wire together for packaging and handling. The entire process is highly efficient.

Vertical integrated design

Abandoning the traditional horizontal machine design, this butterfly wall tie making machine adopts an open three-dimensional layout with a machine height of approximately 175 cm. All operating interfaces are concentrated on the front of the machine. From wire feeding to forming, every step is clear and controllable, making it easy for operators to observe and adjust at any time.

Simple and user-friendly control interface

The PLC control system with touch screen allows real-time setting of various production parameters. The green button is the power button, and the red button is the emergency stop button. The operation is highly intelligent and intuitive.

Damage-free processing

The machine features a high-precision cutting unit and high-quality forming molds, ensuring that the bending and twisting processes do not damage the metal coating on the wire. The finished butterfly wall ties have a neat appearance, clean cut edges, high tensile strength, and are free from fractures or notches.

Convenient collection design

The machine is equipped with two collection rods. After each butterfly wall tie is produced, it is ejected by the ejection device, drops along the collection rods, and is strung onto a binding wire. The operator can preset the production quantity - for example, 250 or 500 pieces - and once production is complete, the entire batch can be bundled and packed at once, with no need for additional counting or collection.

Dedicated machine for dedicated production

Each machine is configured with one fixed mold set to produce a single product series, ensuring professional and high-efficiency output.

Machine parameters

Say goodbye to manual twisting - the era of automated butterfly wall tie production has arrived

First launched and independently produced by MeiRun, this butterfly wall tie making machine has been exported to countries such as South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and India, and has won unanimous recognition and praise from users.

Butterfly wall tie production process:

Step 1: Feeding. The machine automatically draws wire from the pay-off stand.

Step 2: Straightening and stretching. The machine is equipped with both vertical and horizontal straightening wheels to ensure the wire is uniform and straight.

Step 3: Cutting. The cutting device cuts the wire to a preset length.

Step 4: Bending. The machine is equipped with two symmetrical molds that perform bending simultaneously.

Step 5: Twisting. After bending and forming, the built-in floating twisting mechanism creates a knot in the middle of the butterfly wall tie.

Step 6: Collection. The finished butterfly wall ties slide down along the collection rods and are strung onto the binding wire.

FAQ

1.Are the collection rods used on the machine disposable?

Answer: The collection rods are reusable. However, the binding wire at the end of the rods needs to be replaced during packaging, as it is used to tie the butterfly wall ties. The correct procedure is: attach the binding wire to the end of the collection rods - start production - when the preset quantity is reached, the machine stops automatically - workers remove the binding wire, tie up the butterfly wall ties, carry out the necessary packing and handling, and then start the next production cycle.

2.Can this machine produce another type of double-triangle wall tie?

Answer: No, the mold on this machine is specifically designed for producing butterfly wall ties. The double-triangle wall tie has a straight metal wire in the middle with triangular loops at both ends - a style that cannot be produced with the existing mold.

3.Can iron wire be used to make butterfly wall ties?

Answer: Iron wire can be used as a raw material, but it has lower tensile strength, and its corrosion resistance and rust protection are inferior to galvanized wire or stainless steel wire. Moreover, in some regions there are international standards for masonry ancillary components (such as BS EN 845-1), which specify the material requirements for wall ties. Therefore, we recommend using stainless steel wire or galvanized wire instead.

1.Understanding Different Shapes of Wall Ties

①butterfly wall tie: The manufacturing process is relatively simple, and the twisted middle section serves as a drip point. Its symmetrical structure effectively distributes the pressure transmitted from the inner and outer walls, preventing cracking or collapse.

②Double-triangle wall tie: The main body is a wavy straight wire with a triangular loop at each end. It does not require orientation during installation and is suitable for small commercial buildings, residential housing, and similar applications.

③Triangular wall tie: Provides a strong anchoring effect between masonry veneer and backing walls. The triangular shape improves mortar bond strength and embedment strength.

④Fish wall tie: Also known as a corner wall tie. Its upturned end can be fixed to a vertical structure, while the other end is embedded in the masonry, thereby enhancing wall stability.

2.Convenient collection rod design - what has MeiRun done to improve machine production capacity?

Discharging is the final stage of machine production. At this stage, operators must deal with the collection and organization of finished products - especially small metal fasteners, which can be produced in hundreds or thousands per hour. For shipping, these products typically need to be packed in fixed quantities, requiring workers to spend extra time picking and sorting them. When designing the butterfly wall tie making machine, MeiRun anticipated this issue and installed two metal collection rods at the discharge outlet - securely welded to the machine, with the rod spacing strictly customized to the product size. This ensures that the finished butterfly wall ties slide down along the collection rods. After installation, simply thread two binding wires through the ends of the rods to string all the products together. Combined with the machine's built-in counting function, this design effectively shortens the overall production cycle and increases machine capacity. The same design has also been applied to other MeiRun machine series. Delivering a better production experience has always been our pursuit.
