China-based, with
European outlook
Launched by the Gauder Group in 2008, Daloo is the first
low cost wire and cable machinery manufacturer located
in China but backed by European experience. Daloo offers
rotating machines with basic functions, of simple design
and steady quality.
The company will exhibit a rigid frame strander at wire China
2010, as well as components such as a payoff/take-up and
pulling caterpillar.

Achieving higher speeds
In line with the philosophy of continuous development at
PS Costruzioni, the engineers at PS have been working on
improving production speeds.
The automatic coiling line, model PS 470/16, handles NYM
cable from 2x1mm2 up to a maximum of 4x6mm2. The
first goal of the engineers was an increase in linear speed.
Compared to the previous PS 470/16, linear speed has been
increased by 15% (to 20,000 metres per hour). The machine
will now produce 3.35x100m coils of 5x2.5 NYM cable.
The second goal was to reduce the need for mechanical
maintenance. To achieve this the main motor has been
installed in axis with the winding plates. This removes the
need for mechanic transmission, and consequently less
maintenance is needed.
The double head automatic spooling line, model PS200/6-B,
handles cable within the range of 16AWG to 10AWG. Again,
the goal was to increase the linear speed. Now producing
4 x 152m spools per minute for 12AWG (the equivalent
of 36,500m per hour) means that linear speed has been
increased by 25%, compared to the previous PS 200/6-B.

New aluminium conductor
plant starts production in
Turkey
In January 2010 A Kablo Sanayi ve Ticaret AS in Istanbul
completed an aluminium conductor plant. ESM AS designed
the project for aluminium rod and conductor production.
There is a growing demand for aluminium conductors, due
to a rapidly increasing copper price in the market, but there
is a bottleneck for the supply of aluminium conductors.
This new plant is designed to meet some of this demand.
More details of the completed project:
Project: Aluminium and alloy rod and conductor production
in Istanbul, Turkey.
Owner: A Kablo Sanayi ve Ticaret AS, sister company of
Sahinler Metal, Turkey.
Capacity: 24,000 tons per year of aluminium and alloy
rod with continuous rod casting and rolling line, and
18,000 tons per year of aluminium and ACSR conductor
production.
Production condition: The plant began production in
January 2010 and achieved full capacity in May 2010.
Supplier: The main production lines and machinery were
supplied by ESM AS, products of Pioneer Machinery Co
Ltd, Taiwan.
The main production machines and lines were a continuous
rod casting line, four rod breakdown machines, two tubular
stranders (1+6/630mm), one rigid strander (1+54/630mm)
and two rewinding machines and accessories.
