Wire & Cable ASIA – September/October 2009 54
Double twist strander/cabler
The Setic–Gauder Group TA 1250 RN-4M heavy-duty double twist machine is
designed for the production of strands and bunches and the assembly of
insulated conductors.
Large 500mm diameter pulleys and tension control with an independent reel
drive system will strand up to 2,100 twists per minute, at a maximum linear
speed of 300m per minute.
The machine can produce finished products with the following cross sections:
7-strand wires up to 50mm² (copper), 54mm² (aluminium alloy) and 70mm² •
(aluminium)
19 compacted or compressed wires up to 54/70mm² (copper) and up to •
70mm² (aluminium)
Up to 4 x 25mm² for laying-up •
A high capacity motorised capstan (1,300 daN pulling force) enables large cable
production.
At over 15 tons, the machine is strongly built without the need for a foundation
and is equipped with well-sized motors. An hydraulic platform enables
loading of the reel from 1,000mm to 1,250mm (maximum full bobbin weight of
4,000 daN).

Based on ultra-high molecular weight
PVC, Sunprene elastomers from
A Schulman possess many rubber-like
qualities while offering thermoplastic
processing, recyclability, and cost
effectiveness compared with thermo-
set EPDM rubber and traditional
thermoplastic elastomers. As a result,
they provide exceptional tear and
abrasion resistance, high flex fatigue,
and excellent low temperature
brittleness. The materials can be
customised to meet a broad range of
performance requirements.
The primary markets served are
industrial hose and tubing, seals
and gaskets, and wire and cable
applications.
“Sunprene elastomers are a high-
performance, economical alternative
to thermoset EPDM rubber and
traditional thermoplastic elastomers,”
said Lee Pfaffle, business manager
for engineered plastics at
A Schulman.
Sunprene elastomers are available in
two series. The first series is
formulated for extrusion applications
and has a hardness range from Shore
35A to 85A durometer. The second
series has a hardness range from
Shore 57A to 65A durometer.

New elastomers for wire and cable needs
The International Wire & Machinery
Association (IWMA), industry partner
for the wire Southeast Asia exhibition,
is organising a one day technical
seminar on 12 th October 2009, the
eve of the trade fair.
The seminar is being held in Room
212 on the second floor of the
Bangkok International Exhibition
Center (BITEC), the venue for wire
Southeast Asia 2009. Experts from
around the globe will present the
latest technology from the non-
ferrous sector (morning session) and
ferrous sector (afternoon session).
The seminar will start at 10:00 hours,
with speakers confirmed from
Germany, Finland, Canada, Singapore,
Switzerland, UK and Belgium.
On a strictly ‘first come first served’
basis, the first 50 delegates to
register will receive free registration.
Full details are on the IWMA website.
