Wire & Cable ASIA – September/October 2009 46
The latest developments to enhance the Tapeformer range
include the new Tapeformer mounting table. Two sizes of
the adjustable table will accommodate all sizes of
Tapeformer: the smaller table will take models A to D
(5mm to 75mm tape width) and the larger takes models E
to G (76mm to 210mm).
The tables are easy to install and set, with a height
adjustment on entry and exit to ensure that the Tapeformer
runs correctly.
Ordering the right size is simple, needing only the choice
of large or small and the height of the centreline of the
extruder from the floor.
Tapeformers are manufactured to individual user needs,
and suit all types of cable and cable machinery. They will
run at line speeds of 200m per minute to ensure reliable
insulating and shielding. Teflon inserts can be used, to
reduce tape friction, where necessary.
RG Attachments has also added an extra long Tapeformer
to the range. Developed in response to a customer
request, the extra long Tapeformer fits inside the centre of
a braiding machine to wrap shielding around the cable
before the braiding is applied.
Any length or width of Tapeformer can be manufactured
to suit any individual application.

Oil cleaning centrifuge
M/S CbS Technologies has introduced what are believed
to be 100% maintenance expense free wire drawing oil
cleaning and material recovery centrifuge machines.
The benefits of these centrifuges include:
Reduced friction between wire and die as well as heat •
removal at the die ensure the maximum speed of the
wire drawing machine
Enhance the production of bright finished wire •
Reduce the consumption of lubricant oil and extend •
oil life
Removal of suspended particles reduces the rate of •
the chemical reactions which break down the
lubricants and lead to poor wire finish
Metallic oxide present in the lubricant may cause •
scratching, die wear and wire breaks
Repeat pump failures are eliminated •
The portable oil cleaning centrifuge system works off-line
and continuously cleans the oil. Sludge and material
accumulate inside the centrifuge bowl, which has the
capacity to hold up to 22.5kg of material.
