wire 2016 few. In the field of fibre optic cables, Rosendahl and Nextrom have not only worked regularly on achieving further developments, but also hit the “high performance” button. The new “turbo” loose tube line not only saves space thanks to its new design and technology, but is also efficient with regard to material and energy consumption. With its product speed of up to 1,000m/ min, it is claimed to represent the fastest secondary coating line on the market. Live streams show the lines in production. In addition, the new ROBI high-speed, low-tension binder will be presented as part of the SZ stranding programme for fibre optic cables. Rosendahl and Nextrom GmbH – Austria Website : www.rosendahlnextrom.com Rolf Schlicht GmbH, Hamburg, Germany, will exhibit different versions of its electrostatic powder coating machines. The machine model RSC was designed to powder cables, wires, hoses and profiles evenly, finely dosed and absolutely dust-free with powders like talc, stearate, varnish powder, swellable powder, graphite, etc. In the machine there is a fully automatic and maintenance-free filter system which is not cleaned off by blowing in compressed air. Thanks to this filter system a strong and constant vacuum is generated in the machine, so that no powder will escape into the ambient – guaranteed. ❍ The RSC powder coating machine from Rolf Schlicht Rolf Schlicht Stand: 12A48

The machine will be manufactured correspondingly to the extrusion speed and product diameter. Several options are available so that it perfectly fits into the line. Further exhibits on the stand will be: Huestis Air Misers : These have been used for many years in the cable, wire and profile industry. The air wipes are low noise, dry and highly efficient, and pay for themselves in a short period of time, as the com- pressed air consumption is very low because of a special construction. Schlicht supplies the Huestis air wipes in sizes from 1.6 to 178mm diameter. Special sizes in rectangular shapes are available on request. They open automatically to allow knots, splices and other oversizes to pass without stopping production or causing damage. Due to their small size they can be mounted in any cooling line without problems. Rapid Purge cleaning compound : This ready-to-use cleaning compound removes all thermoplastic resin and shortens the cleaning time necessary at colour or material changes. Moreover, it is a cleaning compound which is able to remove burnt material. Rapid Purge works chemically, without admixture of abrasive components. It breaks down the residual plastic polymers into lower-viscous molecules which can easily be flushed out of the machine. This method, which is as smooth as it is effective, is gentle on the sensitive machine parts. DCA dry ice blasting plants : • clean and effective method to clean tools, moulds, dies, parts and surfaces – dry ice does not leave residues behind • robust systems, long lasting – production and techniques from northern Germany • cleaning plants for every business.

Setic Stand: 10E40

Technological highlights from the Bremen, Germany-based company include: • Purity Scanner : Inspection and sorting system for XLPE pellets; dual inspection: X-ray and optical technologies for detection of metallic and organic con- tamination from 50µm on the pellet surface and inside the pellet • Purity concept systems : Modular designed systems for on- or off-line inspection and analysis of pellets, flakes and films/tapes; detection of contamination from 50µm; based on X-ray, infrared or optical technologies ❍ The Wire-Temp 6050 is designed for conductor diameters up to 50mm

Setic designs and manufactures high quality double twist bunchers/stranders for power cable and automotive industries, as well as complete solutions to produce special/LAN cables with enhanced perfor- mances (in one step or two steps according to product mix). The company is continuously developing new lines and concepts for non-ferrous cables in order to meet customers’ needs, such as tandem “mica taping/bunching”, special high-speed lines for battery cable, and new high speed lines for special and instrumentation cables.
