Pioneering PS

for OPGW, OPPC and submarine fibre optic cables. Sahara product delivers particulate-free water-swelling coating technology enabling exciting new cable designs. Tracer technology solutions offer rapid leak location in low pressure oil-filled HV cable networks. Latest developments include new strand blocking compounds for XLPE submarine cables, overhead conductor greases for corrosion protection and ETPR compounds designed for use in copper telephone cables. This line has been conceived to work with the following technical features: • Spools diameter: from 400mm up to 630mm • Flexible Cable diameter: from 6mm up to 15mm • Rigid Cable diameter: from 6mm up to 10mm • Flat Cable: width from 4mm up to 16mm • Thickness from 4mm up to 7mm • Full spool max weight: 150kg • Spools wrap material: stretch film. Production: Linear speed ranging from 0 up to 400/500m per minute, depending on the cable type, length in metres to be wound and diameter of the reel barrel. The line consists of: • Driven pay off • Accumulator • Metre counter and one spark tester • Double automatic spooling head (400/630) • Labelling machine • Automatic pallet unit • Automatic pallet wrapper This machine is available in different models, depending on spool dimensions.
