Wire & Cable ASIA – September/October 2008 14
PS Costruzioni Meccaniche Srl is
pleased to have been awarded a large
contract with the well known Egyptian
cables manufacturer El–Sewedy. The
contract consists of nine coiling
machines, both semi-automatic and
fully automatic coil winding systems.
The range of cables to be processed
by PS machines includes cables of
1mm to 25mm diameter. Final
products can be of standard or
variable sizes.
Some PS machines are to be
implemented at El-Sewedy Mother
Company in Egypt, while others are
destined for El-Sewedy branches in
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen and
Ethiopia.
PS will also supply an automatic
coiling machine, mod. PS 600/25.
This line can produce three coils,
100 metres long, per minute. These
coils can reach an OD of 600mm and
a maximum weight of 80kg.
El-Sewedy packs the
coils with a diametral
strapping system and
thermo-shrinking film
after which, a label
is applied along the
outer perimeter of
the wrapped up coil,
showing the company
name and the cable
data.
All these processes are
carried out auto-
matically.
Using the PS lines,
El-Sewedy plans to
increase its cable
production.
PS has succeeded in
retailing to El-Sewedy
following improvements in several
sectors, including after-sales service
which now has technicians world-wide
to respond to queries in real-time.
