BWE Ltd has been manufacturing
Conform™ and Conklad™ continuous
extrusions machines for more than 30 years.
In 1976, BWE was awarded the original
Conform patent licence from the inventors
of the process (UKAEA), and has gone on
to supply many machines for a wide range
of different applications in the global non-
ferrous and cable and wire industries.
BWE secured contracts for a range of small
to large machines for copper applications
such as rectangular wire (magnet wire),
lightning conductors, bus bars, trolley
wire and other sections to customers in
Europe, the Far East and the Middle East.
Additionally, two large SheathEx™
machines (sheathing of high voltage
power cables) and a Conklad 350 machine
for ACSR applications, were supplied to
three new Chinese customers in 2007.
BWE Shanghai Ltd, established in
1995, has been extremely successful in
manufacturing cold pressure welders.
In 2002, BWE Shanghai opened its new
modern factory in Pu Dong and has since
supplied a number of Conform machines
to the Chinese domestic market.
BWE can now offer Conformmachines built
by BWE Shanghai Ltd to the world market
at reduced prices.
These machines will be manufactured and
assembled in China, under the supervision
of BWE UK specialists and all machines
will be subject to final inspection and CE
certification in the UK. Standard design
features a planetary gearbox to ensure
long bearing life. To maintain high
manufacturing standards, some equipment
such as heat exchangers and hydraulic
pumps will be of European origin.
Initially, BWE will begin to offer and supply
their popular Conform 315 machine, for
small copper and aluminium applications.
Other machines in the BWE range will
follow in the future.
