Calling on experience Ever-growing demand for Stolberger's equipment ▲ ▲

1,000 mm² and sector-shaped conductors for Milliken conductors up to 2,400mm². The compacting rollers installed are hardened to guarantee an above-average useful life. Easy-to-operate features and fast handling govern the efficiency of these compactors. Irrespective of this, requirements that are essential to the profitability of use typically include determining the particular suitable conductor design as well as the roller sections and stranding die dimensions required. Stolberger’s experience includes all the data necessary for compacting in conformity with international standards, such as: • number and diameter of wires, • compacting rollers of suitable sections, including those for other makes, • stranding die inside diameter information, and • all calculations assumed as a basis.

Current market analysis demonstrates that there is an ever-growing demand for compacted aluminium and copper conductors, in particular those of larger cross-sections of up to 1,000mm². Compacting conductors while complying with international standards and meeting relevant quality specifications calls for an enhanced expertise in upgrading the related processes. Stolberger KMB-Maschinenfabrik has developed and manufactured stable compactors for decades. Referred to as idle roller compactors, these units are equipped with 2, 3 or 4 pairs of rollers to compact round conductors, whereas one or two pairs of rollers are used when producing straight and pre-spiralled sector-shaped conductors. Combination-type compacting units equipped with up to four pairs of rollers can be used in producing round or straight sector-shaped conductors as well as pre-spiralled sector-shaped conductors. Complete equipment is available for compacting round conductors up to
