Proving trials and demonstrations are available at the company’s headquarters in Ashford, Kent, UK. The research and development department will consider and prove any new application prior to investment. The company also manufactures and supplies a complete range of cold welders and dies for welding non-ferrous materials from fine wire to round rod. A range of machines will be on display and available for demonstration. BWE Ltd www.bwe.co.uk

Conklad technology is available for applications such as AS wire, OPGW, CATV, sheathed composite cores, reinforced aluminium wire and other products requiring an aluminium sheath or non ferrous cladding. BWE’s SheathEx™ technology is used for the seamless aluminium sheathing of high voltage cables. Corrugated (helical or annular) or Smooth options are available. The SheathEx process provides a con- tinuous and seamless aluminium sheath with no weld. The aluminium sheath has good conductivity and environmental properties, and is light in weight.

SheathEx can use standard CCR aluminium rod, for low er material costs in sheath ing medium, high and extra high voltage power cables. BWE continues to develop new products and applica tions, includingwire arc addi tive manufacturing (WAAM), 3D printing, electric vehicles and precious metals.
