Stranding, twisting, bundling & bunching
New four-twist bunching machine
from Euroalpha
Euroalpha is a leading manufacturer
of drawing machines for non-ferrous
wires with limited-slip technology, a
design appreciated by wire and cable
manufacturers worldwide.
The company has recently extended its
range of bunching machines, which are
an advancement on the technology of
similar machines currently available on
the market.
Bunching machines are the natural
complement of multiwire drawing lines,
and Euroalpha entered into this sector
with the aim of looking beyond the
wire and cable manufacturers.
Euroalpha’s B630-F ‘Four-Twist’ bunch-
ing machine was introduced at the
2010 Wire & Cable fair in Düsseldorf.
A patented dual-bow rotating group
performs four twists at each revolution
of the transmission shaft, while
conventional bunchers perform only
two twists.
Productivity is therefore double at the same RPM, and energy consumption can be
reduced by running the machine at lower RPM. The machines are suitable for producing
1+6 concentric strands, and 1+6+12 unilay strands as well as ordinary bunches.

High efficiency Frekans
Frekans was originally established under the name of Vega in Denizli, Turkey, in 1997.
In 2004 Frekans began to manufacture cable machinery. Frekans is introducing new
products to the industry and the company has an ISO certification of 9001-2008. Frekans
offers central stranding and armouring machines, drum twister assembling, coiling
rewinding, mica taping machines and laboratory test equipment.
Frekans also offers a central armouring high-efficiency machine, the Celik08. This is a
high speed and high power saving machine and can manufacture up to 4 x 16mm2 using
0.9-1.6mm wires; it is claimed to be two to four times more efficient and has four to five
times more power saving ability.
The capacity can be upgraded to up to 48 wires. Production has a two step
method. At the first step, steel wires are wound from the baskets to bobbins.
At the second step, the cable is armoured.
All of the machine’s functions are performed with PLC, and internet monitoring options
are also present.
Features:
