ICE invests in latest Reelex cable coiling machine

“We’ve taken something good and made it even better,” said ICE president Brian Rizzo. “We’ve invested in a machine that represents the state-of-the-art in wire and cable technology and custom-configured it for our cables. “The net result for our dealers will be perfect pulls, from the first foot to the last.”

The Reelex II coil within the bulk wire carton does not rotate during payout, nor does any inertia take place. Void of any moving parts, the coil dispenses from the inside-out with a clear path and avoids the typical twists, tangles and snags that plague bulk wire cartons. This technology is a key element in ICE Cable Systems Big Mouth Payout bulk wire carton, that along with other conveniences such as ascending and descending foot markers on the cable jackets, and extremely durable 24kg burst-tested cardboard with dual-layer handles, have made it very popular among installers.

ICE Cable Systems, a manufacturer of premium low-voltage wire and cable products, has invested in a new Reelex coiling machine for its factory. Reelex’s tangle-free technology is a patented method of winding wire and cable into a figure-eight coil. In optimising each coil, factors such as gain, payout hole control and the density of the wind, along with progressive coil tension, are all instrumental to producing tangle-free packages. This unique coil can only be produced on a specially designed and patented Reelex machine and accompanying customised software.
