and technology for the processing of
copper and copper alloys. High quality
continuous cast rod produced by upward
casting may be used for the production of
copper strips for transformers, enamelled
wires, data communication wires, house
wiring or power cables.
Fully automated Rautomead casting
machines are available for the production
of quantities ranging from 6,000 to 30,000
tons per year.
For smaller scale production, Rautomead
has introduced the new RSCC range of
casting machines for the production of
CuOF and CuAg wire rod.
RSCC models are designed to minimise
investment costs and offer production
from 1,000 to 3,000 tons per year.
RSCC casting machines are available in
two configurations, either as a 4-strand
model for 8mm diameter rod for high
quality wire drawing applications, or
as a 3-strand model for 12mm – 22mm
diameter rod to make feedstock for
continuous extrusion technology.
RSCC models share many of the technical
features of the larger Rautomead RS wire
rod casting machines and benefit from
over thirty years of graphite technology
continuous casting experience.

Roblon continues to expand into south
east Asia, where it first began selling
cable machinery in the 1990s and where
it now also sells industrial fibre products.
Roblon places a great deal of importance
on these markets.
Among the trends that Roblon has
observed in the region is an increasing
interest in the use of glass, as opposed to
steel or aramid, as a strength member. At
wire SEA, Roblon will introduce Light-flex,
its latest glass strength member for
optical fibre cables.
The new Light-flex yarn offers lightweight
and high wear resistance properties.
Light-flex can be stranded around the
cable centre or inserted longitudinally.
It has successfully been tested up to
300rpm in Roblon high speed servers.
Roblon Industrial Fiber develops and
manufactures high-tech industrial fibres
including glass and aramid strength
members, ripcords, standard and water-
blocking binder yarns and is ISO 9001
(quality management) and ISO 14001
(environmental management) certified.
Roblon Industrial Fiber also provides
joint cable solutions together with its
sister division, Roblon Engineering, which
develops and manufactures serving,
binding, take-up and payoff equipment.
