▲ ▲ The BWE SheathEx 400

First SheathEx 400 is installed in Russia

An oil-impregnated cable is fed directly into the SheathEx 400 machine. A seamless and smooth aluminium sheath is extruded from 2 x 9.5mm Ø aluminium rods, directly onto the cable. The aluminium sheath is immediately cooled without any cable burn, then automatically coiled onto a large cable drum. The machine was installed and commissioned in record time and BWE continues to work with Rybinskkabel to enhance and optimise the technology. BWE Ltd www.bwe.co.uk

BWE has installed and commissioned the first SheathEx™ 400 machine in Russia. Rybinskkabel LLC, established in 1949, is a major supplier of cable products in Russia. BWE worked with the company to develop a new cable application for BWE’s SheathEx technology. Following the success of the larger 550 model for ‘seamless’ corrugated aluminium sheathing of high-voltage cables, Rybinskkabel had a new application for the smaller 400 model.
