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 sectorsha-
ped 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
1,000mm²
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
