Sket’s central stranders are an essential
part of efficient cable production.
More than 100 stranders of this type,
supplied to customers around theworld and
in a wide range of machine arrangements
and sizes, demonstrate the durability and
effectiveness of the principle and calculable
competitive advantages for users.
The Sket MKZ 700 is at the very top of the
tree in terms of this unique technology
when it comes to the production of
stranded conductors.
On offer are practical stranding speeds
of up to 500 rpm and linear throughput
speeds of up to 180m/min and this,
together with consistency in conductor
quality guaranteed by controlled tension
in the product, ensures not only the high
output of the system but also significant
savings in material costs.
In response to technological develop
-ments in the cable industry Sket has
recently introduced a range of machines
suitable for larger stranding product
volumes whilst maintaining all of the
competitive advantages which the central
strander otherwise offers.
With the MKZ 250, available as a single
or twin machine, Sket has developed a
machine version which is particularly
suited to the needs of aluminium wire
stranding and overhead conductor
production.
A stranding product volume of 245dm³,
which is three times the volume of a
630mm DIN bobbin, special wire guides
and a hybrid bobbin braking systems set
the standards for this new version.
