Spools from Appiani ▲ ▲

This new welding line has speeded up the manufacturing cycle, thus reducing the costs of the spools. Quality of the spools has also improved, showing less deformation during the winding cycle and longer operational life. These spools are used by Bekaert, Michelin, ArcelorMittal and Bridgestone. An alternative to fabricated steel reels for cables and strands, Appiani’s BAP double-flanged pressed steel reel, partially machined and dynamically balanced, is designed for use in the extruding process. Traditionally, BCG or composite ABS steel spools are widely used in the extrusion of telephone and communication cable and fibre optic cables. The space-saving BSC type collapsible, take-apart reels, and reel handling and storage equipment (lifters and tilters, coilers and pallets) are also available.
