Stranding, twisting, bundling & bunching New four-twist bunching machine from Euroalpha

Euroalpha is a leading manufacturer of drawing machines for non-ferrous wires with limited-slip technology, a design appreciated by wire and cable manufacturers worldwide. The company has recently extended its range of bunching machines, which are an advancement on the technology of similar machines currently available on the market. Bunching machines are the natural complement of multiwire drawing lines, and Euroalpha entered into this sector with the aim of looking beyond the wire and cable manufacturers. Euroalpha’s B630-F ‘Four-Twist’ bunch- ing machine was introduced at the 2010 Wire & Cable fair in Düsseldorf. A patented dual-bow rotating group performs four twists at each revolution of the transmission shaft, while conventional bunchers perform only two twists.

Productivity is therefore double at the same RPM, and energy consumption can be reduced by running the machine at lower RPM. The machines are suitable for producing 1+6 concentric strands, and 1+6+12 unilay strands as well as ordinary bunches.

In 2004 Frekans began to manufacture cable machinery. Frekans is introducing new products to the industry and the company has an ISO certification of 9001-2008. Frekans offers central stranding and armouring machines, drum twister assembling, coiling rewinding, mica taping machines and laboratory test equipment. Frekans also offers a central armouring high-efficiency machine, the Celik08. This is a high speed and high power saving machine and can manufacture up to 4 x 16mm 2 using 0.9-1.6mm wires; it is claimed to be two to four times more efficient and has four to five times more power saving ability. The capacity can be upgraded to up to 48 wires. Production has a two step method. At the first step, steel wires are wound from the baskets to bobbins. At the second step, the cable is armoured. All of the machine’s functions are performed with PLC, and internet monitoring options are also present.
