Armouring & reinforcing of cables

Working with steel wire and tape

Armouring solutions from Gauder Group ▲

Producing strip for armouring Swedish company Burseryds Bruk, a subsidiary of the US-based company Illinois Tool Works, manufactures and sells a wide range of steel products including packaging strap, hot dip galvanised strip and cold rolled strip. The hot dip galvanised steel strip is specially produced for use in the manufacture of control umbilical cable, medium/high/extra high voltage and subsea cable. The four-side coated strip offers extremely good protection against corrosion. The strip can be supplied in a range of designs and is produced to suit customer requirements regarding zinc coating, strip tolerances and coil size. Burseryds Bruk – Sweden Fax : +46 371 375 19 A new CAH steel taping line has also been developed with a production capacity said to be three to five times higher than that of a conventional tangential armouring head. This high output is mainly due to a high rotating speed (up to 600rpm) whatever the traverse spool weight in a concentric process, and because there are fewer line stops compared to a tangential armouring head (using a traverse spool instead of a pad).

A high-speed single twist machine for steel wire armouring can work with reels up to 2.5m. Based on the single twist concept, with 100% back twist payoff for the cable and accurate tension control with a load cell, this line is designed to double productivity compared to a conventional drum twister process. Model ST1600 will process cable up to 30mm, ST2000 up to 45mm, and ST2500 up to 60mm.
