Best selling machines for the cable industry are MKZS/T central stranders, MWR drum twisters and MKD rigid stranders, while SRW tubular stranders, MSDN double twist bunchers and MKVS planetary stranders are SKET’s main products in the steel sector. SKET’s latest developments include a new generation of central strander, featuring a 500kg Al wire bobbin capacity; large planetary stranders/ closers for submarine cable and a new development of large double twist bunchers, suitable for producing multiple-layer steel wire strands up to 12mm ( 1 / 2 ") diameter. SKET operates from a 40,000m² site where traditional and newly developed machine systems for cable and wire rope production are designed and manufactured. Linked CAD/CAM workstations and fully integrated processes are sup- ported by a computerised production, planning and control system. SKET Verseilmaschinenbau GmbH – Germany Solvay Padanaplast SpA confirms a commitment to develop ambient curing and environment-friendly crosslink- able materials for wire and cable insulation and sheathing, ready-to-use on standard extrusion lines. Cogegum ® GFR/365 is a cross-linkable LS0H compound for sheathing and insulation purposes, exhibiting high oil, fuel and chemical resistance. Typical applications include railway rolling stock, offshore platforms, industrial and shipboard wiring cables. Cogegum ® GFR/325 is a best selling grade for BS 7211 EI5 applications and a new reference for single and multi-core H07ZZ and fire resistant cables. Cogegum ® GFR/340, due to its high thermo-mechanical resistance, can be used for heat resistant flame retardant cables. It offers high flexibility, high extrusion speed on conventional extrusion lines and fast ambient curing.
