With more than 40 years’ experience in the
field of rolling and drawing non-ferrous
metals and power cable production, Trafco
has always succeeded in introducing new
technology into the design, construction and
reconditioning of its range of machinery and
equipment for the manufacture of all types of
wire, cable, flat wire rope.
The company exports 90% of its production
to the Middle East, Africa, Latin America
and Europe.
Important results have been achieved in
large projects for the implementation of new
turnkey plants, where the client is provided
with a feasibility study and then the supply
and installation of the plant, commissioning,
personnel training and technical assistance
for maintenance and the supply of all spare
parts.
Trafco is currently working on innovative
developments for cable production.

For the last ten years, Travar has been
developing innovative multi-wire drawing
technology for fine wires in aluminium and
aluminium alloys.
The technology features the following
characteristics:
Up to 8 wires drawn simultaneously; high
speed and productivity, possibility of drawing
superfine wires with diameter from 0.18mm
to 0.80mm; accurate thermal treatments
adaptated to customers’ needs; wide choice
of reels: DIN 630, DIN 800, DIN 250, etc.
During these ten years Travar has also
acquired a good knowledge of the problems
concerning the changes from copper cables
to aluminium cables.
Work has already begun on the construction
of a new plant in Calabria, Italy, with
production due to begin in September this
year, allowing Travar to offer production in
single and multi-wires:
Single wire production: diameter from
0.80mm to 20mm; with a capacity of 9,000
tons each year. On multi-wire production,
the site will be capable of 8 or 16 wires in
diameters of 0.14-0.08mm and up to 9,000
tons a year.
In this plant Travar will offer its wide range
of aluminium alloys for mechanical and
electrical applications.
Three of them are increasingly used for
electrical applications:
1310 AlFeMg: the aluminium alloy for
flexible cables as cables for automotive
industry
6101 AlMgSi: the aluminium alloy for
screening of telecommunication cables
1370 Al 99,7: the aluminium for power
cables
