Payoff and take-up

Rosendahl offers two models of winders for sheathing lines – floor-traversing and portal-traversing – named RWT and RWH. These systems can handle reels with a flange diameter between 800mm and 4,000mm. Add-on equipment for the detection of deviation, clamping, traversing, transport and cutting is available. Rosendahl’s advanced portal-traversing winder for heavy reels, the RWH, is designed for reels up to 20 tons with a maximum flange diameter of 4m. The traversing unit, with the reel, moves inside a stable steel frame. This floor-mounted frame does not require any special foundations. The recently improved floor-traversing model RWT is designed for reel weights up to 12 tons. Special amendments have been made to reduce and optimise installation, maintenance and service work on the machinery. The modular drive is by individual AC motors with fixed, 2-step or 3-step gearboxes on any line configuration. Rosendahl’s portfolio of winders covers applications on standardised reel models as well as special reel designs for payoff and take-up of fibre optic cable or automated high-speed double-reelers.

Range of CV tube lines

With efficient software, achievable production speeds can be precisely calculated and the required operating parameters can be determined. Another option for efficiency enhancement is the conversion of steam CV lines into dry curing lines. Scholz offers a comprehensive after sales service, high quality components and a constant quality control system. Maschinenbau Scholz is a holder of the DIN EN ISO 9001 certificate, and all pressure-retaining parts are made in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EG [PED] and international acceptance standards.

Maschinenbau Scholz is a specialist in the design and fabrication of CV tubes. The product range includes vertical lines, catenary lines, horizontal lines, pressurised reversing vessels, conversions and special designs. To future-proof the lines it is often enough to simply replace individual parts, the potential for optimisation being often in the details. For this, Scholz can provide its customers with splice boxes, main sealings, pressurised reversing vessels and non-contact sag controls (cable position controls). By replacing only these components the production speed can be increased and machine failure can be avoided. When developing tailor-made solutions, Maschinenbau Scholz focuses on the latest EDP.

Improved spool life

A Appiani produces a comprehensive range of reels and drums. The range includes TA100 spools and B-type for steel cord, hose wire and sawing wire, now produced with a new CN welding machine. These spools have class-A welding spots, as required in many fields including automotive. This new welding line has increased the speed of 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 giving longer operational life. These spools are used by Bekaert, Michelin, ArcelorMittal and Bridgestone.
