english technology news
Increasing market globalisation and
the arrival of countries with enormous
potential on the wire and cable
manufacturing scene – particularly China
and India – have forced producers to
rethink company processes in an attempt
to boost productivity, rationalise and
reposition manufacturing programmes,
and lower fixed costs and overheads.
Over recent years, Sampsistemi has
focused on researching and developing
new solutions and ways of reducing the
amount of energy used in wire and cable
manufacture, not only for first and multi-
wire drawing lines, but also for high-speed
bunching lines.
Developing new products whilst
continuously improving existing
technology is currently the main strategy
pursued at Sampsistemi.
In particular, recent innovations include
limited-slip multi-motor rod breakdown
machines for copper, aluminium and
alloys of the same; dual-motor multi-
wire drawing machines with up to 56-
wire solutions; and twin double-twist
bunchers, engineered with either single
or dual motors.
In terms of bettering consolidated
products, Sampsistemi has recently
optimised drawing line gear transmissions;
developed new high-performance
systems for its double-twist bunchers;
and engineered innovative annealers,
incorporating wire cooling and drying
systems.
Other significant innovations for heavy
duty drawing applications include the
development of new electronic control
and gear transmission systems, with
performance rates of up to 99%; a fully-
submerged drawing die holder; and
special-profile capstans to enhance
finished wire quality.
