according to the alloy and rod diameter being produced. Optimal settings can be stored in the PLC memory to ensure consistent production parameters from cast to cast. Rautomead will also be promoting its patented RSL sealed lid continuous casting technology, designed for processing progressive alloy rods such as copper chrome zirconium for subsequent manufacture of welding tips and small-diameter drawn wires. The fully enclosed furnace features multiple independently controlled feed mechanisms that deliver cored wire and CuOF rod to the furnace to match the melting casting output rate while maintaining precise alloy composition.

The company’s research and develop- ment department explores new products and concepts, to offer its customers improved performance and efficiency, while also keeping a focus on environmental sustainability. With this aim, Pan Chemicals has added to its portfolio products such as ash-less lubricants for high quality surface after annealing; polymer-based pre-coating for cold forming applications; polymer pre-coat lubricants for heavy-duty bar drawing; pre-coating for high-tensile galvanised steel wire drawing; and new concept drawing technologies based on special diamond dies.

screening and planetary stranders, single twist cablers, and drum twisters. The company states that all of its ma chines are designed and manufactured to high standards for the production of all types of high voltage and extra-high voltage power cable, from overhead cable (including ACCC™, ACSS-TW and ACSR-TW) to AC-type submarine or land cables (using Milliken conductors) or DC-type (using large, round compacted conductors or profiled “Keystone” wires). “Our presence again this year at the wire China show demonstrates our commitment for a better understanding of the Chinese market while observing the trends and the consumer needs, and presenting our new technologies,” said a spokesperson. “Pourtier connects its customers to all energy sources. Demand for clean energy, including improved infrastructures, has been on the rise in the past few years, resulting in new market challenges. Pourtier has the most advanced solutions to meet these challenges for sustainable clean energy and infrastructure.” Pourtier www.setic-pourtier.com Rautomead will be introducing its new RIC 400 model break-ring, continuous casting technology, which has been developed to process cobalt alloy, nickel alloy and iron alloy wire rods from 2.5 to 50mm diameter. The company will also present its RS range of graphite furnace continuous casting machines for the manufacture of extra-low oxygen content CuOF rod and for the production of high-quality conductor alloy rods such as CuMg, CuSn and CuAg for signal data transmission wires and for railway contact and catenary wire applications. The patented pulse motion control offers users the ability to alter and adjust the casting sequence and speed Rautomead Ltd Stand: E1 E41
