Conductor preheater

monitor, including a trend display of the relevant data such as temperature and line speed. An integrated product library stores product recipes to be easily recalled. The power required to ensure stable temperature and optimum adhesion is calculated by the preheater to suit the line speed and product diameter. Preheater 6000 can be retrofitted into existing lines.

Sikora has developed a conductor preheater, Preheater 6000, for cable extrusion lines. In the manufacture of data cables reliable conductor preheating is required to ensure optimum adhesion of the insulation on the wire. Preheater 6000 is positioned before the extruder and preheats the wire to between 100°C and 190°C, using inductive heating. Sikora offers the device with the Ecocontrol 600 processor system directly integrated into the preheater housing. The Ecocontrol 600 displays the product and production parameters both numerically and graphically on a clear 8.4" TFT
