This is a special year for A Appiani Srl as
the company is celebrating 50 years of
continuous activity in the wire and cable
industry under Appiani family control.
The company will be showing its complete
range of available products at wire 2012,
which includes B-type spools for steel
cord and saw-wire applications, structural
reels for cable, rope and strands, pressed
steel reels for internal process and
shipping of ferrous and non-ferrous wire,
machined reels for wire and multi-
wire drawing, processing reels for heavy
duty applications, composite steel-ABS
reels for extrusion of fibre optics or
telecom cables and collapsible take-apart
reels (hydraulic, mechanic, pneumatic)
for coils.
The company has also launched a new
website, where it
will be possible to discover the group’s
products in an intuitive and interactive way.

ATE
Stand: 11C77
ATE has recently presented two new
induction heating systems that complete
the range of continuous heating for parallel
treatment of wires.
These new systems are called IMW and
CMW. Th m is
the simultaneous heating of each wire, also
when they have a different diameter, by
means of a dedicated inductor that is fed
by the related frequency converter.
The CMW system is destined to a group of
wires heated by means of a single induc-
tor fed by only one frequency converter.
The numerous advantages of these new
systems make them preferable to the
traditional ones in terms of efficiency,
consumption, quality and compactness.
Some application examples may be the
annealing, stress relieving, brass-diffusion,
pre-heating and, in any case, integrated in
other industrial processes requested by the
customer.
The main types of ATE induction heating
systems are:
• Medium and high frequency converters
(unit power to over 2,000 kW, frequency
from 0.5 to 150kHz)
• Induction heat treatment plants of
wires, bars, tubes and strips

AlphaGary will present the latest grades to
be added to the extensive range of
compounds for the global wire and cable
manufacturing industry. These include:
• Megolon™ – halogen free, low smoke,
fire retardant (HFFR, LSOH) compounds
• Low die drool compounds for high
speed extrusion
• Tear resistant compounds for
demanding environments such as
found in the Middle East
• Optical fibre tight buffer compounds
• Oil resistant compounds having high
flexibility
• Compounds that have high char
formation when burned in demanding
fire tests.
• RoHS and REACH compliant grades
Smokeguard ® – low smoke, highly fire
retardant PVC compounds with good char
integrity
• Insulation and jacket candidate for
‘Plenum’ rated cables
• US “National Electrical Code ®”: CMP
(Cat 5e; Cat 6+), OFNP, CL2P, CL3P,
FPLP, etc
• For cables requiring the higher Euro-
classification, defined by the CPD
• RoHS compliant and lead free versions
• Olefin fillers/separators required ple-
num applications
• Good transmission properties and
processability
GW Series – PVC compounds
• Flame retardant grades for require-
ments for cables listed from general
purpose to riser
• Low temperature grades
• Excellent transmission properties for
communications cable applications.
Garaflex® – thermoplastic elastomers
• Flexible, flame retardant, low temper-
ature, 105 degree rated with UV
resistant compounds.
• Vinyl and olefin based compounds for a
variety of applications.
