also capable of stranding hard Cu and Al alloy wires, bunching flexible conductors up to 120mm 2 (250kcmil) and laying up LV insulated conductors. The machine can reach a maximum rotating speed of 2,000 tpm and a line speed of 300m/min (980ft/min). The machine features wireless telemetry for all signals (including encoders), an energy-saving single bow design, automatic traverse with flange detection allowing spools to be perfectly wound, and monitoring of bearings temperature and cradle vibration. A smooth cable passage enhances the quality of the produced conductor due to a straight path from the second twist pulley to the haul-off capstan and due to the large diameter of the pulleys and haul-off capstan. Strong compacting is achievable via a motorised compacting die with lubrication. Two pairs of compacting rollers are provided for improved quality of sector shaped conductors. The machine is equipped with high automation and production control offering repeatable product quality and efficiency.

Paramount Die Booth: 1539

Paramount Die is a supplier of carbide wire dies to the global wire drawing industry, and delivers new technologies in the die and drawing die sector. The company has introduced several products which have become wire industry standards or best practices, and it continues to innovate. One such innovation is the ParaLoc pressure system, which delivers higher performance drawing and promotes sustainability by allowing customers to return used carbide dies to be responsibly reprocessed in Paramount’s automated reprocessing system. The main driver for sustained optimum ParaLoc pressure system performance is proper holder maintenance. Paramount will be presenting best practices for maintaining holders to maximise drawing performance. In addition to standard dies, Paramount develops intermediate and large dies, both round and shaped.

It will be showcasing some of these dies and related new technologies.

It will begin introducing customers to its new information system, “Paramount Point”, an online portal.
