division of the Gauder Group acts as an overall efficiency booster to restore wire and cable production line productivity and product quality, whatever the brand of the equipment. C2S is being assigned spare parts and high technology bows (including the exclusive and patented “GreenBow2” enabling energy savings), upgrades and maintenance projects as well as transfer and restart operations of complete lines, for all brands. The team of 55+ technicians includes former Lesmo and Cortinovis engineers. Cable Services and Systems – Belgium Website : www.cable-services-systems.com Candor was founded in 1946 and is specialised in wire cleaning and plating plants and as a supplier of chemicals for various applications. The company will present the latest developments of the Copperjet, a high speed copper coating plant, chemical or electrolytic, for high quality welding wires. The plant will copper coat the wire at high speeds up to 25-30m/s with best possible cleaning and coating quality. Candor Sweden AB Stand: G17

technology. Candor will also present its technology for wire plating plants for both ferrous and non-ferrous wires. The company offers single- and multi-wire cleaning and plating lines for ferrous and non-ferrous wires for various applications such as: • Welding wire cleaning and copper coating • Ultrasonic and electrolytic wire cleaning for round and shaped wires • Candojet HW – hot water wire cleaning for round and shaped wires • Single- and multi-wire electrolytic plating plants for wires such as tinning, coppering, nickel plating, silver plating and galvanising for all sorts of wire materials Candor Sweden AB – Sweden Website : www.candorsweden.com With 160 years of expertise, Condat’s lubricant range is recognised worldwide in the wire drawing market (mechanical and electrical wire). The Vicafil and Steelskin range gathers together a wide choice of wire drawing soaps, surface treatment, neat and soluble oils and degreasing products. Nowadays, to increase productivity, wire drawing machines feature more and more drafts and elevated drawing speed. To satisfy these challenges, Condat has developed a new wire drawing lubricant: Vicafil Senja. Launched in February 2017, Vicafil Senja gives the following key benefits: • HSE-friendly solution: low borax level, no nitrites • High performance: its specific formulation offers added shear and temperature resistance Vicafil Senja offers an optimal adherent lubricant film all through the most demanding drawing lines in terms of speed and number of drafts. It has encountered great success on steelcord process, phosphated PC wire and welding wires. For example, on PC wire, coupled with Vicafil TN 1548 for the first draft, Vicafil Senja allows a higher drawing speed (on phosphate/soaped rod). Together with Vicafil Sumac (low borax) and Santale 6 (borax-free soap), Condat can now offer a tailored solution for the most demanding applications. For aluminium wire drawing, Vicafil’s TFA neat oils range is designed to offer both low residues and extended operating life. Condat Stand: H46

Conform™ and Conklad™ are well established continuous extrusion tech- nologies in the non-ferrous, cable and tube industries. Typical applications include copper and aluminium rectangular wire (magnet wire for transformers), solid aluminium conductor (SAC for cables), copper bus bar, trolley wire and other shaped conductors, AS wire, OPGW, CATV, round refrigeration tube, multiport or PFC tubes in different alloys. BWE’s SheathEx™ technology is fast becoming the new alternative to seamless aluminium sheathing of high voltage cables. The SheathEx process provides a continuous (no stop marks), reliable (no weld) and cost-effective (cheap materials, low energy, etc) method of sheathing high voltage power cables. A new Conform machine has been specifically designed to extrude solid aluminium conductor (round or sector shaped) from 2 x 9.5mm diameter rods, providing a cost-effective process to a product in demand. A new Conklad machine has been added to the range, enabling small and delicate cores to be sheathed from one aluminium feedstock rod instead of two. The machine will reduce capital and running costs for applications such as AS wire, OPGW, sheathed composite cores, reinforced aluminium wire and solid aluminium conductor (SAC). BWE continues to manufacture and supply a complete range of cold welders and dies for a fast and reliable solution to welding non-ferrous materials from fine wire to round rod.
