• Cleaner working environment for the operator The company’s technology produces a water swellable binder with higher yield, meaning lower cost per kilometre of cable produced. It also produces a package that o ers: • Excellent integrity and balance • Can run at 5,000 rpm without unwanted vibration • More metres per package, meaning longer runs without a break and a more e cient stranding process overall Fil-Tec also o er various swell factors, a ording design engineers the exibility to choose the size yarn and swell factor that best suits the cable.

Standard machinery is adapted to customers’ needs, thanks to many years’ experience of the workforce, and using the available facilities to study projects with 3D designs and nite elements. This is all done with modern CNC machinery for parts fabrication, and a well-prepared test laboratory. Last year ended with new growth thanks to special machinery for stranding CTC (continuous transposed conductors) and big closers for steel wire ropes, together with new cable manufacturing plants established in North Africa. Although a new year means new challenges, the company already has a full capacity of orders for 2016, and investment in the business continues. Customers can also nd a large stock of related used and refurbished equipment from sister company Flyro. Flymca & Flyro – Spain
