New two-in-one crosshead solution by Rosendahl ❍ Rosendahl’s RX 12 double-use crosshead

Each melt flow includes an individual adapter and distributor for the required material. The crosshead is ready for use after a change-over time of less than ten minutes. Benefits include: • High product flexibility • Only one trolley, one body • Change-over within ten minutes • Process of differing materials on one crosshead • Temperature and pressure are illustrated via RIO line control Rosendahl Nextrom GmbH – Austria Website : www.rosendahlnextrom.com

ROSENDAHL’S double-use crosshead serves two needs in one crosshead. Not only will the cable manufacturer save money over buying two crossheads for its purposes, but it will also be able to process very different materials on one solution, like high filled LSOH (commonly used for building wire production) to low density cross linkable materials such as XLPE. Additionally, the crosshead is ready to run many typical materials for insulation like PVC, PE, PP and TPE on the RX12 double-use crosshead with the best material feed. This will be achieved by two independent melt flow sections with this crosshead. universal RX12 extrusion

New digital controller for HVT-series AC hipots Haefely Hipotronics, a developer and provider of high voltage test systems and measuring devices, has launched the new 100kV HVT-DI series AC hipot testers. These are the most modern digital solution to AC field-testing of bucket trucks, aerial platforms, vacuum interrupters, breakers, switchgear, and other electrical apparatus. Each model includes a portable digital controls section and bonnet and is complete with an input line cord, interconnecting cables and ground lead. The HVT-DI is a valuable tool for factory and acceptance testing on aerial platforms; bucket trucks; switchgear, vacuum bottles and vacuum interrupters; hot sticks, gloves and ropes; and hydraulic hoses.
