As the construction industry moves toward higher efficiency and automation, automatic stirrup benders have become essential equipment in steel bar processing. Among them, single-wire and double-wire stirrup benders are two of the most common types—but what exactly sets them apart? And more importantly, which machine is best suited for your production needs?
In this article, we explore the core differences between single-wire and double-wire stirrup benders, and provide practical recommendations for their application in different jobsite or factory environments.
A single-wire automatic stirrup bender feeds and processes one steel wire at a time, typically ranging from 5 mm to 13 mm in diameter. It is ideal for standard rebar processing with lower to medium daily output requirements.
Processes 1 wire at a time
Simpler structure, lower maintenance
More precise bending on small radius shapes
More economical for small to medium workshops
A double-wire stirrup bender feeds and bends two wires simultaneously, effectively doubling the productivity. These machines can handle wire diameters up to 12 mm × 2 wires and are suitable for large-scale construction or prefab plants.
Processes 2 wires at once
Up to 2× output efficiency
Slightly larger footprint and power consumption
Requires more precise synchronization and calibration
Feature | Single-Wire Bender | Double-Wire Bender |
---|---|---|
Output Efficiency | Standard | High (2x productivity) |
Wire Size Range | 5–13 mm | 5–12 mm (x2 wires) |
Shape Accuracy | Higher for small shapes | Good for high-volume shapes |
Maintenance Complexity | Low | Medium |
Ideal Users | Small-medium workshops | Large factories, prefab yards |
Cost | Lower | Higher upfront investment |
Your production volume is below 5 tons/day
You focus on custom-shaped stirrups or multiple shape types
Your workshop space is limited
You want a lower-cost machine with easy maintenance
You process large quantities of standard stirrups
Your daily output target is 5–10+ tons
You operate a prefabricated building factory or rebar processing plant
Labor cost is high, and efficiency is a top priority
