Z94-4C Nail Making Machine

Z94-4C Nail Making Machine | Automatic Wire Nail Making Machine

Turn coiled steel wire into finished common nails in a single automatic pass. The Z94-4C nail making machine from YF Metal Tech is engineered for factories that need dependable mid-range nail production — from 30mm to 110mm nails, at up to 250 pieces per minute, with the rugged simplicity that keeps production lines running in tough environments.

Why Buyers Choose the Z94-4C Nail Making Machine?

The Z94-4C sits in the sweet spot of the Z94 series: big enough to handle heavy construction nails, fast enough to keep unit costs low, and simple enough that operators can master it in a day. It is one of the most requested nail machine models among hardware factories, wire product manufacturers, and construction material suppliers across Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Built on a plunger-type cold heading structure, the machine performs wire straightening, wire feeding, head punching, and point cutting in one continuous automatic cycle — no frequency converter or control cabinet required, which means fewer electronic parts to fail and lower long-term maintenance costs.

Key advantages:

Stable mid-diameter output — produces nails from 2mm to 5mm in diameter, covering common wire nails, concrete nails, and general construction nails.
Reliable production speed — up to 250 pieces per minute, keeping your nail production line running at commercial output levels.
Straightforward operation — length and diameter changeover can be completed in minutes, minimizing downtime between production runs.
Heavy-duty build — 1800kg machine weight and a solid cast frame absorb the repeated impact of cold heading, extending service life.
Low operating cost — simple mechanical design means cheaper spare parts and easier sourcing of replacement components locally.
Proven Z94 technology — the Z94 series remains the most widely used nail making machine type worldwide due to its stability and cost-efficiency.

How does the Z94-4C Nail Making Machine work?

1. Wire Straightening – Coiled cold-drawn steel wire (Q195/SAE1008 or similar) is fed through the straightening unit to remove curvature.
2. Wire Feeding – The feeding mechanism grips and advances the wire in precise, repeatable increments.
3. Cold Heading (Nail Head Forming) – The punch bar strikes the wire end to form a flat, round nail head.
4. Point Cutting – The cutting die shears the wire to length and forms the nail point in the same cycle.
5. Ejection – The finished nail drops free, and the cycle repeats automatically without operator intervention.

Applications

The Z94-4C wire nail machine is suited for manufacturing:

• Common wire nails for general carpentry and rough construction
• Concrete and masonry nails
• Roofing and framing nails
• Wire nails for pallet and crate assembly
• Custom-length nails for local hardware and construction markets

This makes it a practical core machine for hardware factories, construction material producers, wire drawing companies looking to move downstream, and distributors setting up local nail production instead of importing finished nails.

• Wire drawing machine, nail polishing machine, and thread rolling machine to complete a full nail production line
• Installation guidance, spare parts, and after-sales technical support for overseas buyers
• Flexible MOQ starting at 1 set, suitable for both new factories and production line expansion

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What nail sizes can the Z94-4C produce?

The Z94-4C nail making machine produces nails from 2mm to 5mm in diameter and 30mm to 110mm in length, covering most common construction and general-purpose nail sizes.

2. How fast is the Z94-4C nail making machine?

Under standard conditions, the Z94-4C runs at up to 250 pieces per minute, depending on the wire diameter and nail length being produced.

3. What raw material does the machine use?

The machine uses cold-drawn low-carbon steel wire, typically Q195 or SAE1008 grade, fed directly from a wire coil.

4. Do I need a separate wire drawing machine?

If your wire is already at the correct finished diameter, no. If you are starting from thicker wire rod, YF Metal Tech can supply a matching wire drawing machine to reduce it to nail-making diameter.

5. Can this machine make different nail lengths?

Yes. Length adjustment is mechanical and can typically be completed within minutes, allowing quick changeover between production runs.

6. What is the difference between the Z94-4C and other Z94 models?

The Z94 series (2C/3C/4C/5C/6C) is graded by diameter and length capacity. The Z94-4C covers a mid-to-large nail range at 250 pcs/min, offering a balance between output speed and nail size versatility compared to smaller (faster, smaller-diameter) or larger (slower, bigger-diameter) models in the series.
