ICE Cable Systems, a manufacturer of
premium low-voltage wire and cable
products, has invested in a new Reelex
coiling machine for its factory.
Reelex’s tangle-free technology is a
patented method of winding wire
and cable into a figure-eight coil. In
optimising each coil, factors such as
gain, payout hole control and the density
of the wind, along with progressive
coil tension, are all instrumental to
producing tangle-free packages. This
unique coil can only be produced on a
specially designed and patented Reelex
machine and accompanying customised
software.
The Reelex II coil within the bulk wire
carton does not rotate during payout, nor
does any inertia take place. Void of any
moving parts, the coil dispenses from the
inside-out with a clear path and avoids
the typical twists, tangles and snags that
plague bulk wire cartons.
This technology is a key element in
ICE Cable Systems Big Mouth Payout
bulk wire carton, that along with other
conveniences such as ascending and
descending foot markers on the cable
jackets, and extremely durable 24kg
burst-tested cardboard with dual-layer
handles, have made it very popular
among installers.
“We’ve taken something good and made
it even better,” said ICE president Brian
Rizzo.
“We’ve invested in a machine that
represents the state-of-the-art in wire and
cable technology and custom-configured
it for our cables.
“The net result for our dealers will be
perfect pulls, from the first foot to the last.”
