SZ-stranding for a strong ROI
THE power cable SZ-stranding technology offers huge potential for ROI thanks
to its practical machinery, easy operation and inline jacketing process.
Many years ago, Rosendahl
discovered the benefits and
simplicity of SZ-stranding
both in machinery and during
operation. The solution is called
Power SZ, where heavy rotating
machines are replaced by
stationary equipment so that
machine loading and unloading
can be carried out easily and
quickly. Simpler equipment has
a higher operating reliability.
The line is able to handle three
to five conductors with cross
sections of up to 240mm². With
smaller cross sections, a performance of 60m/min is achieved while producing
long production lengths due to stationary pay-off stands with bigger drums.
Depending on what the manufacturer requires, the Power SZ can be set up offline
or with an inline jacketing process. It is a proven and efficient solution where the
cable is produced in one production step for sector-shaped conductors.
The line is mostly a very customised solution and the company can provide
support with process and product know-how.

The InteliTHERM HTG400
Proton Products launched its new InteliTHERM
HTG400 handheld wire temperature gauge at
Interwire 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
This instrument is suitable for use on all bare
wire types and comprises a special bimetallic
wheel construction with integrated electronics
for precise, responsive measurement
performance. It provides high-precision wire
temperature measurement of better than
±0.5ºC, up to 400ºC (752ºF).
