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 becoming an alternative to seamless aluminium sheathing of high voltage cables. A new SheathEx™ 400 line was supplied earlier this year to extrude a ‘seamless’ and ‘smooth’ aluminium sheath over an oil-impregnated cable. The SheathEx process provides a continuous (no stop marks) and reliable (no weld) 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 process for 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 develop new products, and a new Conform machine will be supplied to Sheffield University, UK, in 2020. Following extensive and successful trials at BWE, Sheffield University will use the machine to continue its development of processing titanium powders into a solid wire or strip profile for automotive springs. Other applications include wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), which is becoming a more attractive way of 3D printing metals. BWE also manufactures and supplies 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.
