M Power
Tech Inc
Stand: 11J06
M Power Tech focuses on the
enhancement of factory automation.
The company has supplied machines for
whole extrusion lines since 1984, including
testing and failure detection equipment.
M Power can provide machines for
producing building wires, automotive wires,
telephone and LAN cables.
With the outstanding coiling and packaging
machines, it can effectively help increase
output and minimise labour cost.
In addition, the new packaging system for
power cords is an advanced production line
that will perform cable winding, tying,
packing with PE film and labelling of the
bag before putting it into the carton.

Maguire Europe
Stand: 10G46
Maguire Europe will introduce a
wide-ranging portfolio of technologies that
enable manufacturers to save costs while
ensuring compliance with the stringent
electrical and physical requirements for
wire and cable insulation and jacketing.
The exhibit will feature equipment for
accurate conveying, loading, drying,
blending and dosing of polymer com-
pounds and additives, along with systems
that use real-time data on material
consumption to regulate the extrusion
process and ensure product consistency.
• Gravimetric blenders. The Maguire®
weigh scale blender controls the
metering of materials into the extruder,
including compound and costly
colourants and additives. Automatically
self-adjusting to compensate for
variations in extrusion rate or bulk
density, the blender maintains accuracy
within 0.1%.
• Gravimetric colour feeders. For
low-throughput lines or secondary
“skin-layer” extruders, Maguire
supplies the MGF series of feeders,
which install directly to the extruder
throat. Because the feeder hopper is
mounted on load cells that monitor the
loss in weight of colourant as the
material is fed into the extruder by an
auger, the device prevents
over-colouring, reduces colour
consumption, increases control over
product quality, and documents colour
usage for each production run.
• Extrusion control systems. By
compensating for the many process
variations typically encountered in
extrusion, Maguire’s LineMaster™
extrusion control system makes
possible increased product uniformity,
savings in raw material, faster startups,
quicker job changes, less scrap, and
more rapid accommodation to reel or
bobbin changes. The heart of the
LineMaster system is a loss-in-weight
(LIW) hopper mounted on the throat of
the extruder. The hopper is suspended
on a pair of load cells that continually
monitor the weight of the material in the
hopper.
• Dryers. For resins, additives, and
crosslinking catalysts that must be
dried before extrusion, Maguire offers
every type of desiccant dryer as well as
systems that use vacuum to remove
moisture. Unavailable from other
suppliers, vacuum dryers consume up
